Then it's certainly "boardwalk". In fact, my synapses flashed on that first when I saw your query.

to do with boats, it turns out. Example "Turveiein går over to nye trebroer og to bordganger.

Hensyn til natur og biologisk mangfold har vært særlig viktig, og den svevende bordgangen gjør det mulig å lage en turvei som er nær naturen, uten ødeleggende inngrep.

I imagine it refers to thick timber logs that are sometimes used for walking trails. But I don't see that "strake" is used in the same context in English.
