Lake Sognsvann

Sognsvann

If you don't have much time for nature, or if you don't have the equipment for longer hikes, at least take the metro number 5 to Lake Sognsvann.

No major equipment is needed for the 40-minute walk, and you'll at least get a glimpse of the laid-back life of the locals who come to Sognsvann to run, walk or walk their dogs or play with their children.

Hiking paradise

The Sognsvann metro terminus is an ideal starting point not only for trips around the lake, but also for longer hikes around the northern outskirts of Oslo.

The endless forests are criss-crossed with dozens of kilometres of walking, cross-country skiing and cycling trails.

Many of the forest paths even have public lighting, which is particularly useful in winter when it gets dark in Oslo in the early afternoon.

For example, you can find well-marked hiking trails on maps.cz.

Accommodation at the lake

If you're heading to Oslo mainly for hiking, the Sognsvann location is also ideal for accommodation, given its easy accessibility by metro.

Between the metro station and the lake, you'll find a well-rated hotel Olympiatoppen Sportshotel - Scandic Partner ***.

How to get there

Lake Sognsvann is accessible by metro line 5. The terminus is about 250 metres from the lake.
