Parks & Nature
Torshovparken, Oslo
A park with a view close by the apartment.
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.

I usually bicycle to Paradisbukta og Huk in the summer to take a swim. The beaches are not as nice as in the Caribbean, but it is still a lot of nice nature and a small forest to walk through.

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.
