Things to do in Oslo, Eastern Norway: The Best Hiking Trails

June 13, 2021 Giuseppe Pratt

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.

Kolsastoppen

Reviewed By TheNorwegianExplorer - Oslo, Norway

Live close by but had bever been here earlier. Very nice hike through interesting landscape, and the view from the top is amazing. We did Søndre Kolsåstoppen, and it is excellent to have lunch and enjoy the view at the top especially if the Weather is nice! We brought our two girls of 0 and 4 up, and our 4 year old loves the hike :)

Damstredet & Telthusbakken

The two small roads Damstredet and Telthusbakken are found just below the medieval church Gamle Aker kirke. This is a charming and pictoresque part of town with well-preserved and inhabited wooden houses from the late 18th and early 19th century. The allotment gardens on the south side of Telthusbakken give the area a countryside atmosphere.
