Great spot to hike and get one of the most beautiful view of Oslo fjord. It's closer to the city…read morethan going all the way up to Forgnerseteren. To get there the easiest is to go to Storo and take the bus 56 direction "Solemskogen" and get off at "Akebakken" which is 7minutes away. The hikde from the bus stop to the top take about 30 minutes.

For some reason this local gem is not in the Lonely planet. The hill, which requires approximately…read more1-1.5 hour hike one way, is a fantastic escape to the nature! The trail up goes mostly through the forest, however, once you get to the top, a fantastic view on Oslo will reveal itself! As this was my first time, I didn't find any specific path, just went up, till some kind soul advises me to follow blue marks on the trees, which you can do both on the way up and down.

The view is BEAUTIFUL, but the two paths leading up (and down) to the overlook are 1) not very…read morewell-maintained, 2) covered in LOOSE ROCK which you can't get your footing on, and 3) are VERRRRY STEEP. I have hiked all over the U.S. and never felt as unsafe as I did on this local trail. When you enter the park to hike to this viewpoint you have to CLIMB OVER AN ELECTRICAL FENCE, and GO THROUGH PRIVATE PROPERTY WITH 'NO TRESPASSING' signs. WTF? Not only that, but when you happen upon a beautiful pond in the middle of the forest the experience is quickly ruined by the fact that the path DOESN'T HAVE A BRIDGE but has A PILE OF UNCUT LOGS that MOVE when you step on them. This path is not maintained, is not welcoming, and is very dangerous at certain parts. Also, there are multiple spots where there are fallen trees HANGING OVER the path that could fall at any moment - I understand not wanting to interfere with nature's process, but isn't safety important at all? This simply would not pass in the U.S. - this trail would be deemed a YSD 2 or 3 trail and would not simply be labeled a hiking trail.
