Local Cabin, Fresh Pastries and a Swim

 Enjoy fresh pastries at a local cabin in the forest - and perhaps a refreshing swim in a clean forest lake?

This is a lovely little afternoon trip! We take the train to Frognerseteren for 40 minutes. Here you really get a fantastic view of all of Oslo and the fjord! 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? After the break we continue further down through Nordmarka's large forests. We enjoy the peace of the forest, maybe we meet a squirrel, or if we are lucky we may meet a deer or maybe a moose! We end our trip at Woxen where we take the bus back to Oslo city center.
