Route description

This route passes through some of Norway’s most densely populated and heavily trafficked areas, and will probably surprise many with its peaceful nature. Along the way, you’ll pass the Stovner Tower, which is unique in Oslo. Here you can walk or cycle on gentle wooden ramps up to the top of a tower with views all the way to the Oslofjord. The route is otherwise characterised by paved and easily cycled, car-free asphalt roads close to forests and housing estates.
