Description

Go for a forest hike and swim in a lake near Oslo!

You'll meet your guide near Oslo Central Station. After an introduction, you'll take the train for about 40 minutes to Frognerseteren. During the journey you'll enjoy several panoramic views of Oslo and its fjord.

On arrival, you'll begin a hike of around 6 km through the forest. Along the way, you'll pass Tryvann, a set of three peaceful lakes, the perfect opportunity to cool off or simply take a break on the pontoon in the sun.

You'll pass Tryvannsstua and stop off at a local hut offering a wide selection of Norwegian pastries and local drinks (not included). The perfect place to grab a bite to eat!

The hike then continues through the forest, offering the chance to spot local wildlife, such as squirrels, deer or even elk.

The tour ends in Woxen, from where you'll catch the bus back to downtown Oslo.
