The perfect camping and hiking combination close to Oslo and easy to do in one and a half days.
Most of the trails are popular routes with plenty of picturesque hideaways. You can choose where you want to camp along the route as there are many beautiful places to pitch a tent. We recommend finding a nice lake to spend the night.
Author’s recommendation
