★★★★★
The hike was such a good discovery! I had never been in that area and I am happy I did. Ingunn came with her dog and both of them were also so lovely! Walked for a bit, went to the viewpoint which was so beautiful, ate some snacks and picked some wild blueberries on the way back. Would definitely try Ingunn’s hikes again!
★★★★★
The scenic fjord view tour was a very relaxed, not steep or difficult, but very rewarding walk/hike. The trail is stone, earth, and tree roots seeped in history. It’s very cool to walk a path that’s been a pilgrim path for hundreds of years. The views from the tower and the camping site benching are beautiful and serene, and only takes up half a day being so close to Oslo city centre, easily accessible by bus to the meeting point. The guides were lovely, knowledgeable and helpful for tips visiting Oslo, and the dogs were very calm and very welcome walking companions! It was easy to book and they were responsive and helpful with enquiries. Thank you for the lovely morning!
★★★★★
I had such a lovely time hiking in nature with Ingunn and Nero! I was a bit nervous as a solo female going alone into the woods, but Ingunn made me feel safe and at ease. The walk was easy and relaxed, and the fire tower at the end allowed for stunning views of Oslo and its surrounding forests. Before heading back, we shared a delightful cup of coffee and interesting conversation together. The meeting point was convenient to reach by local bus. I’m so glad I chose a peaceful alternative to the busy city activities for one afternoon on my trip.
