The western part climbs small hilltops, often with a beautiful view of the Trondheimsfjord.
In addition, sycamore maple, although not a part of the original flora, is rapidly spreading and is now among the most common trees.
Also at Rotvoll is the Leangen Manor (Norwegian: Leangen Gård), including an English-inspired garden, with small water ponds and large deciduous trees (ash, elm, maple, oak).
There are several beaches (mainly rocky or with pebbles) along Ladestien, some of the most popular are Ringvebukta (not far from Ringve Museum and botanical garden) and Djupvika; the latter includes a large lawn and volleyball net.
In nice summer weather, a walk along the lush Ladestien with the calm waves from the fjord rolling gently against rocks and beaches might give associations to places much further south.
