Krokkleiva

The steep incline of Krokkleiva extends 1.5 kilometers from Krokskogen to Sundvollen, featuring an elevation gain of 278 meters over rough terrain.

Peder Anker constructed the road through Krokkleiva in 1791 to facilitate the transportation of charcoal and timber to Bærums Verk industrial complex.

The landscape at Krokkleiva inspired numerous 19th-century artists, including painters J.C. Dahl and J.F. Eckersberg who captured its natural features.

The protected route now serves as part of the Pilegrimsleden pilgrimage path, offering hikers access to panoramic views of the Ringerike region.

At the midpoint of the incline, a perennial spring called Vanninga maintains its flow throughout the year without freezing during winter months.
