The Fyllingselva suspension bridge is part of a scenic area that stretches along the 500-metre long Fyllingselva, which has a drop of 13 metres. The first modern stone dam in the watercourse was built in 1878, and the river today has four crossings, one of which is a suspension bridge built in 1948. This suspension bridge is a characteristic feature of the area and provides access to scenic paths.
Along the river you can observe traces of beaver activity, which contributes to the biological diversity in the area. The coal road, which is located on the north side of the river, has historically been used to transport charcoal from the coal mines to Sørkedalen. Fyllingselva flows between Østre Fyllingen and Bjørnsjøen in Nordmarka south, and the area is popular for walkers who want to experience both nature and cultural history.
