Nice downwards flow section. There is a rollable drop at the end. Good grip overall but watchout if the wooden bridge is wet (not the worst bridge for that, though)

A couple of closed turns and an uphill leading to a jump and a board bridge. This section merges with the access from Skovbrynet (section 22)

Section 17 is meant for downhill flow. Challenge yourself to reach the end without pedalling (and/or braking) to train pumping!

Probably one of the best flow sections in the forest alternating small climbs and flow subsections. Really good grip all over even in wet conditions.

The board bridge in section 29 offers two possible lines. It can be VERY slippery when wet.

From here, you have a beautiful view of Farum Lake. Just pause for a moment, enjoy the view, and then carry on.

On the way you can simply jump into the lake and cool off. Wonderful!
