SECRETS OF THE LAKE & FOREST: A SMALL GROUP TOUR
Strenuous Activity
Includes snack
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
WHAT YOU VISIT
Sognsvann Lake Hike Designed for a small group of a maximum of 20, this guided tour begins when you meet a local guide at the pier and walk to catch the train to Sognsvann, a sparkling lake surrounded by 2,000 square kilometers (1,242 miles) of boreal forest. Twenty minutes later, you'll disembark practically in the center of the magical woods. As you follow your guide along the approximate three-kilometer-long trail (two miles) you'll soon learn why the lake is one of the locals' most
popular spots in Oslo to hike, jog or picnic. Breathe in the fresh air and revel in the Norway spruce, pine and birch trees as you make your way to a campfire. Learn how to build a fire, hear stories of Norwegian outdoor food traditions and locals' life.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Picturesque Sognsvann Lake is home to moose, beaver, deer, eagle, hawk, and fox. Step softly and you may hear the high, thin chirp of a treekeeper bird.
SNACKS
Refresh with a snack of marshmallows, sausage, Norwegian chocolate and water.
