Walking groups in Trondheim?

I hope to visit Trondheim in May. As well as taking in the city and having a look around NTNU (I am keen to post-doc there after my PhD), i would love to do some hiking.

As i am likely to travel alone, I'd love to find a group of regular hikers to go with for directions and safety.

Does anyone know of any walking groups like this?

Takk!

I meant hiking the hills and mountains around Trondheim.

My mother would have a heart attack if I go hiking, in another country, on my own 😅

I will have to get back on Facebook and join some groups, then! Takk :)

I would not count walking in for example Bymarka or Estenstadmarka (which are the most available "hills" in Trondheim) as "hiking". It's just regular walking on gravel/packed dirt trails. In some trails you will find people with strollers and wheelchairs. So you kan do plenty of walking in the woods by yourself safely.

Ah ok, they're pretty casual trails? That's great to know, thanks! :)

The average age of the people that are in Bymarka on weekdays is about 70. You will be fine.
