What is the name of the path or road depicted in the foreground of 'The Scream'?

The path or road depicted in the foreground of “The Scream” is Valhallveien.

Valhallveien is a road on Ekeberg hill in Oslo, the area traditionally associated with the viewpoint represented in Munch’s painting. From this elevated part of the city, the scene looks toward Oslo and the Oslofjord, helping explain the painting’s distinctive combination of road, railing, water and distant city.

The road is often mistaken for a bridge because the railing cuts diagonally across the composition and the ground appears to drop away sharply. In reality, the foreground is understood as a road or path overlooking the landscape. Munch then bent and intensified its lines to make the setting feel psychologically unstable.

The exact historical spot is discussed with some caution: Munch painted memories and sensations rather than a literal, photographic view, and sources note that the location cannot be proven with absolute certainty. Even so, Valhallveien and the Ekeberg area remain the standard geographic identification.
