Brennåsen: Postveien and the route to the Rossevann Fortress

Brennåsen can be explored via two distinct routes: Postveien takes cyclists as far as Farvannet, connecting a national cycling route with a historic road. The hiking trail to the Rossevann Fortress focuses on a tour to a fortification. These highlights can help you plan your trip. If you are looking for a holiday rental in Brennåsen, first consider whether cycling or hiking to Rossevann better suits your stay.

Postveien: a cycling route with history

Postveien, which reaches Farvannet in Brennåsen, is part of National Cycle Route No. 1. It is a 9 km scenic road, preserved in its condition from the 1790s. A ride brings two aspects together: following a well-known cycling route and experiencing the road's historic character. Near Brennåsen, Postveien passes through Groheia and along Kvislevann on the way to Farvannet. Access to Postveien at Farvannet is via the E39.

Another cycling route connects Brennåsen with Tangvall. It runs along Rosselandsveien and Toftelandsveien. This gives you another named route to consider for your day's plans, in addition to Postveien. The route may change depending on the status of infrastructure, so check it before setting out.

Hiking to the Rossevann Fortress

The hiking trail starts at Rosselandsveien in Brennåsen, next to the Hydro-Texaco station on the E39, and leads to the Rossevann Fortress. The trail also leads to Vågsbygd and Søgne. This allows you to plan your hike around a specific destination while also taking the named onward routes into account. As trail conditions can change, it is a good idea to check them before setting out.

Your preferred activities are a helpful starting point when choosing a holiday rental: do you want to spend most of your time on the cycling route to Farvannet, the connection to Tangvall, or the hike to the Rossevann Fortress? The routes mentioned offer different ways to plan your trip. Check each route and its conditions in light of your plans rather than assuming the same route will suit every activity.
