About Damstredet and Telthusbakken
Damstredet is a cobbled street of wooden houses from the first half of the 19th century, just 160 metres long between Akersveien and Fredensborgveien. Nearby, the 260-metre Telthusbakken runs below the medieval Gamle Aker church, small wooden houses on one side and the Egebergløkka allotments on the other, where the Kjærlighetsstien, the Love Trail, begins, VisitOSLO records.
