Hike Fornebu penninsula

LYSAKER AND THE FORNEBU PENNINSULA

From Lysaker station, around the Fornebu penninsula and back to Lysaker

From Lysaker station, follow the signs under the motorway to Lysaker Brygge. Follow along the pier – here there are restaurants and shops. Eventually, it changes to a path on the edge of the beach. There is a nice bathing area at Fornebubukta. The beautiful hiking trails pass Telenor and at the spectacular Equinor building there is art at the entrance and around the building. Continue to Sjøflyhavna kro, which serves both outside and inside. There is a long history of aviation at Fornebu and the first seaplanes took off from here in 1939. The main airport was eventually moved to Gardermoen, but the seaplanes still taxi in to the old seaplane harbour.

The tour continues past the homes in Rolfsbukta and up to the Rolfstangen bathing area. At Halden brygge there is a beautiful rock, jetty and beach kiosk. The narrow hiking trail continues along the bathhouses and towards Hundsund. Out on Snarøya is the Ivo Caprino film center. The classic puppet films such as Flåklypa Grand Prix and Karius and Baktus were made here. The center is not open to visitors. Along the Hundsund and Koksa bays there are nice hiking trails. Hundsund Bad, which is an indoor swimming pool, is also located here. Through the Koksa Nature Reserve, the path goes through small forest before it ends at Storøyodden. Here there is a large, nice swimming beach, benches and a kiosk. Storøya Bird Tower is close by and is worth taking in.

On Lilleøyodden there is a nature reserve and a cemetery that is very special and beautifully designed. At Lilløyplassen naturhus you can learn about the animal and plant life in the immediate area and is a great destination for a Sunday walk. If you walk on the small footpaths, the seaplanes will suddenly appear, where they are moored at piers down by the water. On the way back is Oksenøya Bruk, which dates from the Middle Ages. There has been farming and horticulture here. During the war there was a prison camp here. Today, OBOS is responsible for the development of the area. Footpaths and cycle paths take you on to Nansenparken with its ponds, rest areas and common areas and on to Bærum Kunsthall. At the old Flight tower there is today a cafe. In the quarter around Aker are Imprints; a ceramic sculpture park with the largest collection of ceramic works in Scandinavia today. The last stop before Lysaker is Polhøgda; the home of the famous polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen which is today the office of the Fridtjof Nansen Institute. The large garden, where i.a. Nansen's grave is located, is open to the public.

Drengsrud cultural path

Drengsrud in Asker – historic roads and cultural landscapes. At Drengsrud school there is a notice board with a map and description of the cultural path around Hogstadvannet lake. The path features a number of posters placed at historic locations. We recommend that you print out the map and description from the internet in order to get the most out of the walk. The paths are narrow and hilly in places. The path is therefore only suitable for walkers. The path goes through forest, along the water’s edge and along the outskirts of Asker golf course. During the golfing season, you should watch out for stray golf balls.
The walk features much idyllic, natural beauty, and is recommended for everyone with a good level of general fitness, including children.

4. Bicycle tour on Romerike, starting from the Quality Airport Hotel Gardermoen

Varied round trip east of the airport along the Pilgrimsruta and with long distances on nice gravel roads in the forest.

Tour description

This tour begins at the hotels located east of the airport. Feel free to stop by the iconic Kepler star and see it up close. It is a great eye-catcher for everyone driving to the airport. At the Modern Activity Center it is possible to test e.g. Norway's roughest wind tunnel.

The bicycle route continues eastwards and eventually northwards along the National Bicycle Route 7 Pilgrim route which runs all the way from Halden to Trondheim. It is signposted with red signs and runs on a separate bicycle path through fields and forest.

It leads into the forest on nice gravel roads. You eventually cross the highway, but apart from that it is quiet and calm and almost a magical atmosphere when the forest gets denser. It also goes through fields and farmyards and the surface becomes more of a cart track and path, but still completely bicycle able. Past Hauerseter there is asphalt and low-traffic roads through residential areas, before it becomes gravel again. Look for both blueberries and raspberries along the roadside.

The last part of the trip goes along an walking and bicycling path back to the hotels.

The route passes Hauerseter train station and can also begin and end from here.

Bicycle tour on Romerike, Jessheim/Kløfta round trip

Two different options between the Ullensaker locations Jessheim and Kløfta. Choose between a country road through forested areas or the "commuter route" on pedestrian and bicycle paths – or both!

The trip is described as starting from Kløfta but could just as easily start from Jessheim. The eastern part of the tour is signposted as National Cycle Route 7 and is part of the Pilgrims Route that runs from Halden to Trondheim. The landscape is characterized by a lot of cultivated land with farms and great cornfields. A few kilometres go through a forested area where it is a bit uphill. There is moderate to little traffic here. At Gystad, it is pleasant along Gamle Algarheimveg with a dirt road and through a residential area.

From Jessheim there is some bicycling through the traffic, but the pedestrian- and bicycle path begins quite quickly, and it takes you through the roundabouts to the south and eventually on fast, nice roads with a great view of the open Romeriks landscape. This distance is popular with commuters, so there are often several other bicyclists here. You will find rest area along the way.

The old road into Kløfta has little traffic and the route passes shopping center Romeriksenteret before ending at Kløfta train station.
