Prestvannet

Highlight • Lake

Prestvannet and the surrounding parks are a popular destination in Tromsø, both summer and winter. The lake boasts a rich birdlife of ducks, gulls, and other birds, which is why parts of the lake are protected during the breeding season. The lake is located on Tromsøya, 96 meters above sea level, and covers an area of approximately 30 hectares.

Kvaløysletta bridge

Highlight • Bridge

On the way into Tromsø, the bridge from the island of Kvaløy is the last big hurdle, but also a highlight. The gradient is quite steep for cyclists. You can read the wind speeds on the bridge on a display. Gusts can be a challenge for cyclists and trucks. In strong winds it is better to push. From the bridge you have a view of the west coast of Tromsø island. You see the airport with the large shopping center. The inside launch is on the other side of the ridge in the north of the island.
