Kongeveien over Krokskogen til Sundvollen

The old main road to Bergen, called Kongeveien, was built from Johnsrud in Lommedalen over Krokskogen to Krokkleiva and Sundvolden. Asbjørnsen and Moe's stories and poetry are taken from Krokskogen. At Krokskogen, finnish people settled in the 1600s occupying themselves with raising animals, logging and coal burning. From the mid-1850s, Krokskogen with its Queen and King views, Krokkleiva and Sundvolden hotels was a famous tourist attraction, not only in Norway, but far beyond the country's borders.

The stories are many. Along the way, there was heavy traffic and robbers could be lurking. In 1716, the Swedes, on their war advance, were stopped by a bloody battle on the Northern Cliff. And the superstition has created many stories and legends.

Tour description:

The tour starts from Gamleveien at Bærums Verk. Parking is available across the river. Also nice to arrive by bike from Oslo / Bekkestua over Steinshøgda, from Kolsås subway station or up along the river Lomma from Sandvika.

Bicycle route; Bærums Verk – Krydsby – Johnsrud – Langebru – Midtskogen – Kleivstua. The trip is approx. 17 km. The tour takes approx. 4 hours on dirt road. Easy to ride but pretty much uphill to Langebru. Along the way, several bulletin boards with interesting, historical information have been set up.

Start at Gamleveien. It runs parallel to and west of Lommedalsveien. The landscape varies from detached houses to fields, fields and meadows. Here it is really beautiful and you know you are on the right path when you see Krydsbybakken on your left. When you reach Lommedalen golf club and Øvre Jonsrud farm on the left before the farm onto the toll road. This is the King Road itself, which in earlier times was part of the main road between Christiania and Ringerike. It is steep up the first few kilometers, but at Steinsvollen the terrain flattens out, and it is quite easy from there to Kleivstua. Here, you can drop off your bike and take a short hike up to King's View (1.5 km). From there there are magnificent views.

Bærums Verk:

It is recommended to pay a visit to the beautiful Bærums Verk at the beginning of the excursion. At this historic trading post, artists and exciting small shops bring to life 18th-century workers' housing and offer handicrafts, glass and woodwork. The sculpture park has beautiful statues of Norway's foremost sculptors and is one of Bærum Verk's highlights. A better lunch in the small red-painted log house at Værtshuset Bærums Verk is a nice treat.

Overnight stay:

Kleivstua is a nice hotel that fits nicely to have a good meal and a good night's sleep before the tour continues the next day. Kleivstua consists of 18 houses with a total of 42 rooms built up as a pleasant courtyard. Delicious food, nice view and cosy atmosphere.

Remember to bring along enough to drink and snack (bicycle pump and tyre patches)

Go by bike from Oslo to Moss

Cycling from Oslo to Moss – about 65 km.

Bring your bike and start with a small boat ride from Aker Brygge to Nesoddtangen (about 20 min.) From Nesoddtangen follow county road 157 to Fagerstrand. Along the way there are several places to enjoy the view over the Oslofjord. Follow “Fagerstrandveien” to the exit at “Holtbråtveien” where you follow the signs to the idyllic town of Drøbak. Drøbak center offers, in addition to its cozy wooden houses and marina, several cozy restaurants, cafes and hotels in and around the city center. Enjoy a stopover in Drøbak before the tour continues the next morning.

Follow the signs towards Vestby out of Drøbak and turn at the sign for Solbergstrand and Hvitsten. After about 9 km you reach Ramme Gaard (Ramme farm) which is a nice place to stop and visit. If the cafe is open it offered good organic lunch before you hop on the bike and rolls down to Hvitsten. Here you can enjoy the old figurehead that is placed in the local parks all around town. The stretch is about 12 km through various landscapes before you enter the charming village of Son. Son is an idyllic village with hotel, a Costal Culture Center and several restaurants.

From Son you can either go up to Sonsveien station for train back to Oslo move on to Moss and new experiences in Norway. Approximately 2.5 km to Sonsveien and 13 km to Moss.

Historical visit

Once you have reached all the slopes, you have only a few hundred meters down to the Emerald Mines – a perfect place to stop and have coffee and lunch – and perhaps look for the world's rarest gemstone.

On the way down to Minnesund right by the bridges you will find the Mjøs collections as well – here you can get the story of life and the boats on Lake Mjøsa.

To get down to Eidsvoll station you can take the shortest road, 11 km, on the west side of Vorma, via Trondheimsvegen and Eidsvollsvegen on National Bicycle Route 7. Choose the somewhat more hilly and longer road (Fv177), 14 km, on the east side of Vorma, you largely avoid the traffic noise from the E6.

Historic visit to the Eidsvolls building
On the way to the Eidsvoll building, you can choose to stop by Loftet gårdsbutikk which is located along Trondheimsvegen, take off to Hammerstadvegen and then take Hoelsvegen down to Loftet Gårdsbutikk – which was previously named one of the country's best farm shops – and if you have a little extra gunpowder left in the legs, there are also opportunities to turn to Eidsvoll 1814 to get a refill of the history that has shaped our democracy. You can also stop by Eidsvoll bygdetun on the way to Eidsvoll 1814.

If you need a night's sleep before you travel on because you want to experience more of what Eidsvoll has to offer, then take a night at Best Western Leto Arena so that you are ready for the next stage!

On the way back to Minnesund you can then take the trip via Eidsvoll Church, Wergelandshaugen, and read a little about the history of Eidsivating which celebrates 1000 years in 2022.

Then just cycle back to Minnesund – a tip is perhaps to take the west side road south on day 1 and then take the east side road back on day 2 – then you will experience both stretches!

Have a nice visit!

Mjøstråkk

This website https://en.visitostnorge.no/mjostrakk  contains all the information you need to plan an exciting cycling adventure along Mjøsa, Norway's largest lake.

We have divided Mjøstråkk into 7 legs, and have described the route in the anti-clockwise direction with Minnesund / Eidsvoll as starting point. It is of course up to you where you choose to start, which direction you opt for, and whether you cycle the entire route or just pick parts of this stunning Mjøsa experience.  

Welcome!

The Oeverland river tour – hiking

The Øverland river winds through a cultural and natural landscape with deep roots back in time.

The trip along the river offers great variety. From steep, narrow path with a high slope on one side to a nice, wide walkway, steps, bridges and asphalt. The Øverlandselva river appears with waterfalls, rapids, pools and peaceful, gentle and gurgling parts. There are many places to go aside and sit down and close your eyes and hear the water flow past.

From Sandvika you can walk along the Øverlandselva and far into the countryside. From an early age, the river was very important for the farms and homesteads. Here they fetched water, bathed, washed clothes, fished for trout and eel, ground grain in simple grinders, and sawed timber for their own use. There are few traces of activity in the river, which did not provide a basis for industrial activity, such as Lomma and Bærums Verk.

The experience will vary with whether there is a lot or little water in the river. In some places it is beautiful and natural and in other places a little careless. The hike is best suited on foot because parts are not adapted for bicycles, prams or wheelchairs.

Benches and information signs are posted here:

– between Kloppa bridge and Engerjordet

– between Presteveien and Bærumsveien

– a little below for Åsterudveien (the bridge)

– by Gamle Øverland bridge

– at Haga Golf, west of the river, near Sumpskogen)

– by Bakke bridge (Ankerveien)

– at the meeting Østernbekken / Ilabekken.

In addition, you find larger common information signs at Sandvika, Kverntangen and Øverland car park.

Bring a packed lunch and thermos and use the new benches along the river! – And remember the hiking map (the paper version is free and available at all libraries in Bærum), or download here: https://tinyurl.com/ws7l8h5

We wish you a good trip! Regards Bærum Elveforum

3. Bicycle tour at Romerike, Oslo Airport – Jessheim round trip

This tour will bring you from the airport at Gardermoen to Jessheim on a nice bicycle path. Feel free to return on a dirt road past idyllic Ljøgodttjern and historic Raknehaugen.

You will find very good facilities for bicycling between the airport at Gardermoen and the town of Jessheim.

The first thing you meet is a small park with benches and flowers, before the pedestrian- and bicycle path begins. It takes you safely out of the airport area and is well signposted all the way to Jessheim. The ride is easy with asphalt and just a few slopes. Even if you bicycle parallel to the road, there are longer distances with a view of open landscape.

In Jessheim there are restaurants, cafes and shops. The train stops here, and it is also possible to continue along the National Bicycle Route 7 Pilgrim's Route both north and south.

For a bit of variety, the return journey is partly on cozy dirt roads and stops at Ljøgodttjern with swimming opportunities. Raknehaugen is an old burial ground and is also worth a stop, before the return to Gardermoen. This tour returns to the bicycle parking lot at the airport.
