Overview

I am the founder of Oslonature, a local guide who knows this forest like the back of my hand. With deep knowledge of hidden trails and secret spots.

We’ll hike on forest trails with uneven terrain and a few hills. By Norwegian standards, this is considered an easy hike—accessible to most, and all participants have completed it without issues. The adventure begins with a short 5-minute walk from the train station to the edge of the forest. From there, we start uphill, reaching a scenic viewpoint at 153 meters above sea level. After enjoying the view, we descend to a serene lake where we’ll take a relaxing break.

Following the break, we continue uphill again, making our way out of the forest and back to another train station, where you’ll catch a direct ride back to Oslo. This is a loop trail, so you’ll experience different landscapes throughout the hike. Along the way, you’ll also get a glimpse of how the locals live and experience life outside the city.
