Most norwegians love the nature, so the forest is imprtant. The easiest way to get into the forest from me: - Walk five minutes west to Arendalsgata bus stop. - Take bus 54 towards Kjelsås in 10 minutes to the stop Brekkekrysset. (Timetable: www.ruter.no)

Take the ferry from the town hall. Nice to stroll around on or take a bath in the summer. From the same place you can also take the ferry to the islands Gressholmen or Langholmen, which are also very nice.

You need to take the subway to Vettakollen and walk for ten minutes. Magic little lake in the forest to swim. You can climb a tall tree and jump if you dare.
