 Viewpoint and hiking area with restaurant |
Grefsenkollen Oslo 0490 Norway |
From the highest point of Grefsenåsen, 377 metres above sea level, you get a splendid view of the city. You can enjoy this from a restaurant. Further down the hill lies small lake Trollvann, with a narrow beach, a picnic area and a café. This is a good starting point for walks (there are marked paths, also suitable for bicycles and prams) in the surrounding woods. In the winter, there is a short downhill skiing run, as well as a great hill for tobogganing. Get there by car or on foot from Kjelsås, following Grefsenkollveien. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Free maps |
Kingos gate 17 Oslo 0457 Norway http://www.oslo.kommune.no/ |
If you want to walk in Oslo, check out Park- og Idrettsvesnet's (the park and sports department of Oslo) maps with suggested walks in the east and west sides of Oslo. There are also maps of the islands and the forests that surround Oslo, with tour suggestions and places of interest marked on the maps. These maps are free; inside Norway you can get them mailed to you by calling and leaving your address. Most of the guides are only written in Norwegian, but walking in the forest you will most probably meet many nice and helpful people, keen to lend a hand. These maps are beautiful openings to the city, your investment will be your feet and your curiosity. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Quiet, green space in the middle of the city |
St. Hanshaugen Oslo 0456 Norway |
One of the quietest green spaces in the city, this park is situated on a hill, with paths flanked by leafy old trees. St. Hanshaugen lies between Ullevålsveien, Collettsgate and Geitmyrsveien. Climb to the top of the park, and you can enjoy refreshments at the outdoor café. Various kinds of entertainment are offered during the summer season. A little stream runs through the park, with a small pond at one end. Buses 21 and 37 run past the park. Review © 2007, Wcities |
