I’m your guide from Oslonature, a local who knows this forest like the back of my hand. With deep knowledge of hidden trails and secret spots, I’ll lead you through Norway’s untouched beauty, away from the crowds. This hike takes place in my local forest, and is accompanied by my friendly dog. Together, we’ll explore some of the most scenic and tranquil spots in the area.
In winter, the landscape transforms into a magical winter wonderland. You’ll walk through snow-covered forests, past frozen lakes, and breathe in the crisp winter air. The forest is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, moose, badgers, martens, squirrels and hares.
We’ll hike on forest trails with uneven terrain and a few hills. 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. After enjoying the view, we descend to a serene lake where we’ll take a relaxing break.
