Biking around the Oslo Airport Gardermoen

The hotels around Gardermoen are a good starting point for bicycling in Nannestad. The destination for today's trip is Lake Bjertnessjøen, which is located in Romeriksåsen. This is a large hiking area that is used in the summer- and wintertimes and is excellent for bicycling. The area south of the airport is a ravine valley and not suitable for bicycling. For that reason, there will be a bicycle distance on Nannestadveien with some traffic, but it quickly turns to dirt roads along Engervegen. Further on, you will pass Nannestad church before the gravel road continues through Låkedalen. It is nice to see river Leira flowing by. Farms, fields and meadows dominate the landscape.

From the cross at Rustadsaga you will notice a rise into the forest. Sheep and cows are a common sight in the roadway – this is their home range. Although there is a bit of a climb here, it increases gradually and the gravel road is great to bicycle on.

When you arrive at Bjertnessjøen it is quiet, calm and idyllic. Several benches make it easy to find a pleasant place to take a break. Remember to pack a lunch – it is not possible to buy any food along the way. Note that Bjertnessjøen is a source of potable water and therefore is it prohibited to swim here.

The hiking trail continues around the water and there is a nice view of the Romeriks landscape. The trip is moderately demanding with its altitude, and it is good to have some bicycling experience on gravel and in traffic as it is 2-3 km on a busy road.

The Isi River tour – hiking

The Isi river winds like a blue-green oar through Vøyenenga, Skuidalen, past Bjørumdalen and into the idyllic nature reserve in Kjaglidalen.

A walk along the Isi river is varied, with narrow paths, nice hiking trails, road and forest road. Isielva appears with waterfalls, rapids, pools and peaceful parts. There are many nice places to take a rest and listen to the passing water. The experience will also vary with how much water there is in the river. You can make long or short walks. Some parts of the tour are suitable for walking, while other parts are also suitable for bicycles, prams or wheelchairs.

The lower part of the river offers parts of unexpectedly beautiful nature in an otherwise built-up and industrialized area. The river starts in Hole municipality, but we have limited ourselves to describing the part that flows through Bærum. Here you can walk from the fjord by Sandvika, and far into the countryside through a cultural and natural landscape with deep roots back in time. In the past, the river was important as a source of water for humans and animals, laundry and swimming. Isielva was an important local food source. Salmon and trout were fished, a fishery that is still significant.

Today, the Isielva region is a very important breeding area for salmon and sea trout. Much of the sea trout fished in the inner and outer Oslofjord has been conceived and raised in the Sandvik River / Isielva. You who use the river are a crucial helper to protect the fish, so that it completes the cycle and swims back to the sea to fatten up, and then come back to spawn and secure the stock further.

We wish you a good trip! Regards from Bærum Elveforum

5. Bicycle tour on Romerike, starting from Lily Country Club

Easy bicycle tour on the country road around Kløfta – past the golf course, church, warehouse, fields and meadow.

Tour description

The hotel Lily Country Club is surrounded by the Miklagard golf course just outside the center of Kløfta. From this point there are good opportunities for bicycling trips in the local area.

You will cross highway E16 by the underpass and after a short time you come to Ullensaker church, which is beautifully situated on a hill with a view of the surrounding area. The bicycle route follows Wergelandsveien on low-traffic asphalt roads.

Those who want another alternative can bicycle “Den Wingerske Kongeveg” on the north side of the church. It eventually turns into a narrow path – which is bicycle able but watch out for walkers. The path is rough, but after a couple of kilometres it enters the asphalt road again.

The area is characterized by agriculture with farms and fields on all sides. The route runs in open countryside and is slightly hilly. There are no major challenges along the road but be careful where the route meets Trondheimsveien to the south. You cross an occasionally busy road. The pedestrian- and bicycle path takes you further in the direction to Kløfta, with shopping center and pleasant cafes.

You cross the train line with its own underpass, and it goes through residential area back to the hotel.

Wilderness route – National biking route # 9

About National Cycle route no.9 from Elverum to Halden (355 km)
National Cycle Route No. 9 is known as the Wilderness Route and stretches from Trondheim to Halden (or the other way around). The cycle route passes through the easternmost parts of Innlandet, Akershus, and Østfold, often close to the Swedish border. The full route is around 800 km long. The route is not signposted north of Trysil.

Under we only present the southern section of Route no.9: Elverum–Halden.

The Wilderness Route offers a great nature experience suitable for experienced adult cyclists, possibly accompanied by cycling-savvy teenagers from 13–14 years old. True to its name, the route mainly passes through areas dominated by forests and lakes. If you want to experience silence and long stretches practically free of car traffic, then The Wilderness Route is for you!

Note! When it comes to the northern part of the route, there are no larger towns along the way, and the distances between grocery stores, dining options, and services can be quite long. Further south, the trail takes you through Ørje, and it’s only a short detour to shops and dining in Aremark. However, you should be well prepared for this route, with sufficient equipment and food/drinks. Also remember to bring an extra tube, a pump, and some tools for the journey.

Tour description
If you cycle the Wilderness Route, you cycle close to nature the whole way. When you start in Trysil, the first half of the route leads through the Finnskogen forests. Here you cycle on wide dirt roads and you pass various lakes and ponds, waterways, large pine forests and a number of hills of 4-600 meters in height.

It is a vast and relatively untouched outdoor paradise, characterized by an absence of settlements. Here you can cycle long stretches without meeting anyone and the silence in these forests is striking. In this part of Finnskogen, there are a number of campfires, simple rest areas and gaping huts at several of the ponds along the route. On the hiking maps of Finnskogen, you will see that these places are marked.

The southern half of the Wilderness Route runs more through cultural landscapes and through a several hamlets and small towns. Here, the service facilities are also more frequent. In Ørje, for example, there are several eateries and frocery stores, as well as the only sports shop before reaching Halden.

From Ørje and further south, the route follows the Halden Canal, where you can see a number of cultural heritage sites and information boards from the time when the canal and boats were an important transport artery for both people and goods. Feel free to visit the locks at Ørje, Strømfoss (a very short detour), and Brekke (a 2 km detour). Today, the canal is mainly used for tourist traffic with several boats in operation.

På sykkel i Eidsvolls skoger

The route goes on forest roads in the eastern parts of Eidsvoll. You pass numerous lakes with bathing and fishing in the pipeline, and you can also see the key cultural relics related to mining activities in Gullverket. The route can be reduced significantly by following the Hestdalsvegen route from Jønsjøsaga to Habberstad.

 

Route description:
Start and end point: Eidsvoll station
Distance: approx. 40 km

 

The trip starts at the river side of the station, and passes by the old Eidsvoll station, over the old bridge and left through the center (Sundet). Turn left at Shell Station and continue along Tynsåkvegen past the exit to Eidsvollhallen and Eidsvoll high school. You must fit more farms and after approx. 3 km you reach the RV 177 at a convenience store. Turn right and follow this down to RV 188, which is left to Nord-Odal.

 

Along the RV 181 you pass more water and pond. There are fishing opportunities in all, but you should not expect anything else a whitefish. First you arrive at Jønsjøen which lies on the east side of the road. 100 meters after crossing the bridge at the north end of Jønsjøen, turn left and find a municipal bathing place in the south end of Fløyta. The route continues along RV 181. About 10 km from Sundet you reach Søndre Holsjø on the west side of the road. Here there is also a small swimming area in the south end (2-300 meters west along the forest road). In the middle of the sea you turn left to the Gullverket. After 3 km you reach the gravel road at Knofsløkken. Continue straight past the Gold Grave Factory at Røisivangen (unfortunately closed) and on to Nordre Holsjø. Approximately 200 meters before reaching the sea, turn left towards Grønnsjøen and E6. A trip straight up to Nordre Holsjø (fishing and swimming possibilities) and possibly the gold mines northwest of the sea is definitely recommended.

 

Ruta continues along the forest road. Follow the signage (three-part) against the E6. About 5 km after the crossing at Nordre Holsjø lies Grønnsjøen on the right (not visible from the road) with good swimming and fishing possibilities. Cross right west of the sea, turn left towards Øvre Holtet and E 6. Here you reach a stretch that is partly very steep. It is therefore recommended to take it easy. 3-400 meters after the bottom of the slopes, turn left towards Nord-Fløyta where there is a heated swimming pool. It is important that you do not continue past Upper Holtet and down to E6, as there is neither a bike path nor a relief road along the E6 in this area. In the north of North Fløyta you trill over the bridge to a forest road that continues south along the eastern side of the water. Continue this road straight along Holtåa, past Holtdammen (bathing place) and onto RV 177 at Holt. Turn left and follow RV 177 back to Nærmatbutikken. Here you turn right and follow the route back to the starting point.

Tour of Sandvika and Slependen by bike

Sandvika is Bærum’s city and the largest commercial, service and culture centre in the municipality. The town is beautifully situated on Sandvik River, right near the river mouth flowing into the fjord, with a backdrop of verdant hills. The route offers shopping, recreation, cultural sites and rural surroundings.

Without detours, the route is about 7.5 km long.

The route begins outside Thon Senter Sandvika. Start at the centre’s main entrance on Claude Monets Allé. Set a course northeast, cross Sandvik River and take the first road to the left on Løkketangen. You will arrive at Elias Smiths vei. Straight ahead is Løkkehaven, with its cast-iron Løkke Bridge, immortalised by Claude Monet in 1895. Here are small wooden houses with a gallery, arts and crafts, and a café, along with a chess sculpture by Sverre Hoel.

From Elias Smiths vei, take a right and then the first possible right again, over Rønne River on a small wooden bridge for pedestrians and cyclists. Follow the river southward to some pleasant cafés and restaurants. Pass Bærum rådhus (Bærum City Hall), designed by Magnus Poulsson and completed in 1926 and later in 1960. At the town hall you will find a statue, “Friheten” (Freedom), and a fountain called “Elementene” (The Elements), both by Arnold Haukeland. Continue straight on to Kadettangen. Here you can stop for a cup of coffee at Artista gallery café, watch Rigmor and Rigfar – the ferry boats, sit at the guest harbour or walk over to Kalvøya, known for its festivals and lovely nature trails.

Continue around Kadettangen. Back to Sandviksveien, turn left, straight over the bridge, then another left, and follow the river southwards. You will arrive at Kjørbo Park. At the edge of the fjord is Kjørbo Farm, Sandvika’s oldest, established during the late Iron Age. You will pass Politiet (Police) – which is a circle-shaped indoor car park, as well as Thon Hotel Oslofjord and Thon Senter Sandvika (one of the largest Nordic shopping centres), before arriving back on Sandviksveien.

Time to get those wheels spinning. Turn left and follow Sandviksveien about 1.4 km. At the first roundabout, keep to the right up Slependveien. After about 1 km you will see the Slependen lime kiln from 1914. The lime kiln is used as a symbol on Bærum’s municipal crest. Interested in seeing Tanum’s medieval church? If so, take the gravel road to the left, halfway out onto the field. If not, continue straight on to Bjørnegårdsvingen. Cycle over the bridge, keep to the right along the pedestrian and cycle path. Cross the river one more time and pass Sandvika High School on the left. You have arrived at Løkke Bridge and Løkkehaven, where you can conclude your trip with a game of “outdoor chess”.

Bike tour south of Oslo to Drøbak

Day 1 – 44 km. The tour starts by cycling along Mosseveien before turning off towards Ingierstrand and Svartskog along Bunnefjorden. Here there are several nice beaches and bays. Stop at Svartskog Kolonial for a refreshment or lunch – they serve delicious local food in the pleasant garden. Roll down the road to Amundsen's Home. The house is intact from when he left it for his last expedition is today a museum with guided tours. Amundsen was the first man to reach the South Pole and travelled to both the Arctic and Antarctica on polar expeditions.

It will be a bit of a tough climb back up the slopes before the trip continues along Gjersjøen, past Tusenfryd, further on Nessetveien and road 152 to Drøbak. Feel free to stop by Bringebærlandet for a tasting of raspberry wine and a tour of the farm. Check opening hours on www.bringebarlandet.no

Idyllic Drøbak center offers – in addition to its cozy wooden houses and the marina – several cozy restaurants, cafes and accommodations in and around the center. Avistergnernes Hus is well worth a visit, as well as the many artist galleries. Stay overnight at Renskau Hotel in Drøbak or out at Oscarsborg Hotel and Resort.

Day 2 – 33 km.  Spend the morning at Oscarsborg Fortress. You can get here by a short ferry ride. The area is great for recreation and walks on the ramparts among the cannons and through the tunnels. Visit the museums or have a round of self-guiding. A cozy break at the water's edge is offered at Havnekroa before returning by ferry and you cycle north again.

Follow Fv152 over to Holtenbråveien for about 8 km and turn left onto Fagerstrandveien. Follow Fagerstrandveien and Fv137 past the villages Fagerstrand, Nordstrand and Fjellstrand. Along the way, it is possible to enjoy the view of the Oslo Fjord, Asker and Steilene in several places.

Arriving at Nesoddtangen, a nice dinner is enjoyed at Signalen Sjøbad with a great view of Fornebu. It serves good seafood and food from local producers at Nesodden and surroundings. Well worth a stop before the trip ends with a small ferry ride from Nesoddtangen to Aker Brygge (about 20 min)

Mjøstråkk part of the route Hurdal-Minnesund

Cycling around Mjøsa lets you experience the beautiful cultural landscape up close, with rolling fields and green hills. Along the way, you’ll pass many well-known and hidden attractions that are worth a stop. Mjøstråkk is so much more than just a bike ride!

One of the segments on the western side of Mjøsa is the stage from Hurdal to Minnesund

This route can be summed up as straight up – and straight down! From Hurdalsjøen, the road climbs steadily for four kilometers up Minneåsvegen, through the forest to Tisjøen. After a short distance, you descend toward Mjøsa in a similarly long hill. Be aware that this hill has several sharp turns – so it’s important to control your speed. Good brakes are essential! Once you reach Byrudsvegen, it’s just two flat kilometers to Minnesund.

Since this stage is fairly short, some may want to take a detour from Tisjøen up to Mistberget, 663 meters above sea level. This is the second-highest peak in Eidsvoll municipality. Near the summit, there’s a firetower you can climb for a fantastic view over the Romerike region. The detour to Mistberget is 3.8 km one way – all uphill.

Once you've made it down all the hills, you’re just a few hundred meters from the Emerald Mines – a perfect place to stop for coffee and a snack – and maybe even hunt for one of the world’s rarest gemstones.

On the way down to Minnesund, near the bridges, you’ll also find Mjøssamlingene – where you can learn about the history of life and boats on Mjøsa.

To get down to Eidsvoll Station, you can take the shortest route, 11 km, on the west side of the Vorma river, via Trondheimsveien and Eidsvollsveien on National Cycle Route 7. If you prefer a longer and more hilly route (Fv177), 14 km, on the east side of Vorma, you’ll mostly avoid traffic noise from the E6 highway.

Historical detour to Eidsvoll Manor

On your way to Eidsvoll Manor, you can stop by Loftet Farm Shop – previously named one of the best in Norway. And if you still have some energy left, consider visiting Eidsvoll 1814, where you can learn more about the history that shaped Norwegian democracy. You can also stop by Eidsvoll Bygdetun, the local heritage museum, on your way to Eidsvoll 1814.

If you're still up for more activity, you can also visit Interpadel or the indoor climbing park Høyt Under Taket in Letohallen.

If you need a good night’s sleep before continuing your journey and want to explore more of what Eidsvoll has to offer, spend the night at Best Western Leto Arena, so you’re rested and ready for the next stage.

More information can be found on Mjøstråkk’s official website, which contains everything you need – including maps https://en.visitostnorge.no/mjostrakk  

This site 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.  

A detailed map can be purchased for NOK 150 at tourist offices around Mjøsa and at some hotels. The map includes route info, elevation profiles, tips on accommodation, dining, and attractions along the route.

GPS data for the entire route can be downloaded here:

Transportation

If you’d like to combine your bike trip with a ride on Skibladner, the white swan of Mjøsa, you can bring your bike on board. Due to limited space, it's best to book in advance. Send an email to skibladner@skibladner.no.

If you're arriving in the Mjøsa region by train, you can also bring your bike on board. For example, you can start cycling from Eidsvoll Station and head north from there.

In our region, the Dovre Line runs from Oslo S to Eidsvoll, Hamar, Brumunddal, and Lillehammer. There are limited bike spaces on the trains, so remember to reserve in advance! Call VY at 815 00 888 or check their website.

Welcome – and have a great trip!

Sandvika to Lysaker

A trip for the hardy!

The route crosses the municipality from west to east. Following the fjord, the route passes the Henie Onstad Art Centre, DNV, Strand restaurant and Polhøgda. The route ends at the Lysaker docks with a great view of the fjord. This is a tough ride, sometimes over difficult terrain.

Without detours, the route is roughly 10 km long.

The route begins at the Tourist Information Centre at Thon Senter Sandvika (shopping centre). Follow Claude Monets Allé southeast. At the end of the road is Bærum Kulturhus (Bærum Cultural Centre), designed by the architectural firm Snøhetta, and constructed in 2003.

Cross Sandvik River. Pass Bærum rådhus (Bærum City Hall), designed by Magnus Poulsson and completed in 1926 and later in 1960. At the town hall you will find a statue, “Friheten” (Freedom), and a fountain called “Elementene” (The Elements), both by Arnold Haukeland. Take a right, and then a left onto Gamle Drammensvei. Malskrivergården, one of Sandvika’s oldest preserved buildings from approx. 1640, stands to your left. From here you can go south and continue around Sjøholmen. However, some sections of this path are ill-suited for bicycles. Take a left instead and cycle through Solvik boat harbour. Turn right toward Høvikodden. You will reach Henie Onstad Art Centre, where you can take in an art exhibit and enjoy some refreshments at Bølgen og Moi. Høvikodden also offers a family-friendly beach.

Continue along the coastal path, through Veritas Park. There you will see DNV, one of Bærum’s largest businesses. From here you have a view of the beautiful archipelago. The path from DNV to Sarbuvollen is rugged – probably better to head up into the forest. Most people will prefer to walk their bicycle here. The path ends at Maries vei. From here, continue on to Sarbuvollveien, take a right and follow National bicycle route no.1. You will pass the popular Strand restaurant which offers a view of Holtekilen and the top of the white Statoil building at Fornebu. After about 2 km, the Telenor Arena will come into view. This is Bærum’s largest venue, offering concerts, horse shows and much more.

Cycle under Snarøyveien, take a right and follow the signs toward the Fridtjof Nansen Institute. You will pass Polhøgda, which once was the home of the polar explorer, scientist, humanist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Fridtjof Nansen. Pull in at Bombakken, turn right on Dicks vei and take a left at Strandveien. You have now reached Lysaker, one of Bærum’s best nodes for knowledge-driven businesses. There are cafés and restaurants along the docks. To the south is Nesodden, the east, Oslo, and to the north is the mouth of Lysaker River. Lysaker station is just nearby. You can take the train back to Sandvika from there.
