Long, beautiful birch avenue between Verdal and Stiklestad. Good bike or hiking trail (asphalt).

Munkeby Monastery dates back to around the 1140s. The monastery ruins have not been fully excavated. The ruins show the typical shape of a Cistercian church in the form of a cross. Away from the ruins is a toilet.
