Krokkleiva, Heritage site in Hole, Norway
Krokkleiva is a steep mountain path between Krokskogen and Sundvollen with significant elevation change and challenging terrain. The route winds through forest and opens to views across the surrounding landscape.
The path was built in 1791 to transport charcoal and timber to a nearby industrial center. This early connection was key to the area's economic development.
The steep path here has become part of local heritage and draws people who want to experience how this route shaped life in the region. Walkers today follow the same way that workers and travelers used for centuries, connecting them to this area's past.
The path is part of a pilgrimage route and well suited for hiking with sturdy footwear recommended. Allow plenty of time for the steep sections and bring water with you.
About halfway up the path, a spring flows year-round and never freezes even in winter. This natural water source has been a welcome rest spot for travelers crossing this route for many generations.
