From Ocean to Forest

Along the rivers of Oslo

Distance: 14 km
Pace: 5:45–6:15 min/km
Duration: About 2 h
Group size: Max 6

One continuous climb from sea level to the forest edge, following the river the whole way. We pass waterfalls, old industrial buildings, street art and quiet green corridors most visitors never see. Mostly gravel and paved path with a steady, gentle gradient. A good choice if you want distance without technical terrain.

What to bring

Running shoes suited to the terrain, clothing for the forecast, and a small bottle of water. In autumn and winter, bring a head torch and a windproof layer.
