Mjøstråkk is praised for its exciting and diverse cycle paths that offer a great way to explore the area around Gjøvik. However, reviewers frequently mention that the route can be difficult to follow, particularly when trying to navigate out of towns and cities. This lack of clear direction at certain points means that planning the trip properly in advance is a necessity for a smooth experience. Some cyclists found it hard to find the right way forward without a detailed map or GPS. Despite these frustrations with signage, the overall experience is described as having many high-quality segments. In summary, it is a scenic and rewarding route that is best suited for active travelers prepared for a bit of a navigational challenge.
