Perennially popular with the people of Trondheim, the Ladestien is a great walk with views across the water and swimming stops. This quiet section is at the eastern end, by the historic Ranheim church.

The German stairs are a war memorial from the occupation period. Six different staircases are connected to nine ring guard positions / shooting positions up a steep mountain. The construction work was built as a defense facility for the German seaplane port in Hommelvik. The staircases built of natural stone connect many pits, "German hills" to folk monks, which are burst into the rock.
