Local Cabin, Fresh Pastries and a Swim

Send Us A Request

In true Norwegian fashion, the best pastries in Oslo are found at a local cabin in the forest. Couple that with a hike and perhaps a refreshing swim in a clean forest lake and it is a perfect afternoon!

This tour is only available as a private tour in 2026.

This is how you experience true Norwegian culture! After meeting your guide at our tour center in central Oslo, we will take the beautiful 40-minute train ride to Frognerseteren. Here you get a fantastic view of the city, the Oslo fjord, and its many islands! From the top of the mountain, we hike down and over to Tryvann (three lakes). There is a bathing jetty for those who want to swim in a refreshing lake in the forest, or you can sit down and enjoy the summer sun.

While we are at Tryvannsstua we MUST stop by and buy fresh pastries and a coffee! Or maybe a waffle and hot chocolate are more tempting? This is not just a tourist cafe - stopping at a cabin cafe while out hiking or skiing is what Norwegians do on their days off! After the break we continue further down through Nordmarka, enjoying the peace of the forest and chirping of birds. Maybe we meet a squirrel or other small animals, or if we are lucky we may meet a deer or a moose!

We end our trip at Woxen where we take the bus back to Oslo city center.
