We derive in an elementary way the shape of geodesics of the left invariant Carnot–Caratheodory–Finsler metrics on the Heisenberg group. The only existing proof of this result was given by V. N. Berestovskii, using the Pontryagin maximum principle.
Keywords: Heisenberg group, geodesic, Isoperimetric Problem.
