Great hiking opportunities are just a short bus ride from downtown Oslo. A one-hour walk into the vast forest of Nordmarka that surrounds Oslo is Ullevålseter.
Ullevålseter is an old shieling/farm in the forest north of Oslo which has been converted into a ski lodge. It's a popular destination for hiking or trekking, both summer and winter. There is a cafe which serves refreshments and traditional Norwegian cakes.
The trip in this video starts at Hammeren in Maridalen. Bus 51 which goes from Nydalen in Oslo stops at Hammeren. We walked the gravel path past Skjærsjøen lake to Ullevålseter. It's also possible to take this road by bicycle, but motor vehicles are prohibited.
From Ullevålseteren we went back the same way, but it's possible to take other paths which will take you to Sognsvann or Frognersetern in Oslo.
If you want to walk only downwards, you can start by taking the metro (T-bane) to Frognerseteren. Then walk to Ullevålseteren, and then down to Hammeren from there.
For navigation, Google Maps on a mobile phone works great. Just enter navigation by foot to "Ullevålseter" in Maps.
