ABSOLUTE MUST!!! if your looking for the nature side of Norway, here's the place to be. The normal…read morerecommend route to the viewing point is only about 30 mins, this is good BUT if you want a long scenic and BEAUTIFUL WALK just follow the path straight up from where you get off the metro in vettakollen and you will walk for about 20 minutes- past the normal route on your right- and you'll see a path at the top. If you follow this and keep going 'right' down path choices you will reach the viewing point after about 2 hours. TOTALLY WORTH IT.

My relatives and parents wanted to take a stroll in a small public park. My cousin mentioned that…read moresvartdalsparken is very scenic and beautiful. We went through a small path that lead us to the entrance. There were picnic tables and lots of kids/families in the area. Once we went through the front, starts a small trail which is scenic. You might want to wear tennis shoes-you are entering a hiking trail that is not paved. There are small ponds you will pass. I believe at 1.5 miles you cross this bridge with a beautiful waterfall and an old abandoned building, which is worth the hike. These woods/hike is not strenuous, but I suggest you wear the proper footwear.

This is a review of the ski trail from Sognsvann to Ullevålseter and back during wintertime…read more First off, I love this trail. It's a great workout for those who love longer ski trips (a total of 13 km / 8 miles). That being said, it gets incredible crowded during the weekends, so if you're like me and prefer some peace and quiet, you'll find solace in the afternoon/evening when there's fewer people. The ski trails are also well lit once the sun goes down, so don't worry about it being dark. The Ullevålseter cabin itself is a cozy little place where you can get something to eat or drink or just catch your breath. Just know that the selection isn't the greatest, and that it might not be the best food you've had. Then again, this cabin doesn't specialize in food, but rather as a place for you to rest until you go back the 6.5 km / 4 miles to Sognsvann. Oh, and you might meet a cute cat on your way in! Just don't let it inside. There's a sign in Norwegian by the door that clearly states that. With the ski trail itself, here's the catch; although there's technically two tracks going to Ullevålseter, there's really only one going back to Sognsvann, so unless there are very few people who are going back the same time as you, you're in for a waiting game. You don't want to be the person that crashes into others because they're too slow and you can't stop as you're going too fast downhill, do you? Didn't think so. So just be patient and polite, and we'll all have a good trip back. :-)
