Things to do in Oslo, Eastern Norway: The Best Nature & Wildlife Areas
The 1000-year-old Norwegian capital sits at the head of Oslo Fjord. This stunning setting gives hints of the wild wonders that lie just beyond the city. From taking in visual delights at Vigeland Sculpture Park, the Viking Ship Museum, the Munch Museum and Holmenkollen, to the challenging content within the new Nobel Peace Centre and the Holocoust Center, Oslo offers plenty of food for thought. The Oslo Pass allows free travel on public transport, free parking and many museum and sight admissions.

It's great to have such a huge and fantastic hiking area just outside the city center with good public transportation. Unfortunately, I had to live here for 18 years before I found out, thanks to closed activities due to Covid-19.

About an hour of walking. You walk by the water and its a great walk with a beautiful view for sure! Also so many cute birds???? If you go here in winter make sure to have enough clothes. When we were here people were ice scating on the water as well. The metro goes here so its easy to get here. The stop is «skøyenåsen».
6. Fronsvollen
Fronsvollen is a centre for forest culture and fairytale forests - a great place to experience the outdoors. At Fronsvollen you will also meet grazing cows. The cultural landscape has been cleared and creates a nice frame for the new meeting place for Friends of the Earth Norway Oslo and Akershus (NOA).
