Dreaming of fresh air, historic roads, and wide-open landscapes?

Your adventure starts with a relaxing train ride towards Gjøvik. Sit back and enjoy the scenery as the train winds its way from Oslo’s forests into the rolling farmland of Hadeland.

When you arrive at Eina station, an unforgettable cycling awaits.

Ride through historic landscapes

From Eina, the route follows the western shore of the shimmering Lake Einavatnet. For an especially spectacular nature experience, we recommend taking the route via Åstjern and Blokhus, where quiet forest roads and scenic viewpoints make the journey just as memorable as the destination.

As you approach Brandbu, the landscape opens up to reveal one of Hadeland’s most iconic panoramas: views across Randsfjorden, framed by the distinctive volcanic hills Brandbukampen and Sølvsberget.

For the most atmospheric approach, we recommend cycling along the historic "King’s Road over Tingelstad". Here you ride through the heart of Hadeland’s rich cultural heritage before rolling into the courtyard at our farm.

Rest and recharge at Helgaker Gård

After a day on the bike, a warm welcome awaits at Helgaker Gård. Enjoy a well-deserved dinner and a restful night in charming rooms filled with historic character.

The next morning begins with a hearty farm breakfast before we prepare a packed lunch for your journey ahead. From here, the route continues south across beautiful highland landscapes toward Mylla, before leading you into the deep forests of Nordmarka on your way back toward the city of Oslo.

A perfect combination of train travel, cycling, nature, and a unique farm stay just a short way and close to Oslo.

The Pilgrim path thru Romerike

The pilgrim path from Oslo to Eidsvoll is part of the historic Gudbrandsdalsleden and medieval main road to Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim.

The trail starts at St. Halvards plass in Oslo's Old Town, by the ruins of the medieval church. From here, the route goes through urban areas and out into more rural areas, but it can also be nice to take the metro or train out of the city and start the hike either at Stovner or Kløfta.

The landscape alternates between forests, streams and lakes, but mainly runs through Romerike's beautiful cultural landscape with high skies, rolling fields, well-kept farms and historic roads, including sections with preserved hollow roads that testify to many hundreds of years of travel.

Along the route there are three medieval churches; Skedsmo, Frogner and Hovin, several of which are dedicated to Saint Olav. Raknehaugen is a cultural monument from the Iron Age (about the year 550) and is the largest burial mound in the Nordic countries built of earth and about 75,000 logs. A nice place for a break or a dip in Ljøgottjern. It's nice to take a break at Sundbytunet to eat local food and drink the pilgrim beer from the local brewery.

A highlight is the arrival at the Eidsvoll building, where Norway's constitution was signed in 1814. Pilgrims with a valid passport can often get a free coffee at the nearby Café Standpunkt. The route also passes the beautiful medieval church in Eidsvoll and continues towards Minnesund and Innlandet.

There are a number of places that welcome hikers, from basic hostels in storehouses to well-equipped hotel rooms. It is also nice to take a day trip along the trail, from the train station at Kløfta and in the cultural landscape at Ullensaker with proximity to trains to/from Gardermoen.

The railway came to Skulerud in 1898 and was in operation until 1960. With the help of Riksantikvaren – national heritage-  the cultural environment at Skulerud station is being re-established with railway tracks, switches, turntables and buildings.

Biking Hurum from farm to farm

The bike tour starts in Holmsbu, an idyllic village with a pier, restaurants, shops and a charming hotel. The tour goes up steeply past Holmsbu Church from 1887, decorated by Henrik Sørensen and other Holmsbu painters.

You then cycle to Sand Farm, which has a farm shop, bakery, café and activities all year round. Then you follow Granvoll Farm, with local honey, and Grønnsletta Farm, which offers its own lamb and pork, yarn and cheese.

At Kana the road becomes quieter. From here you can take a 3 km detour to Knatvoldstranda camping for a swimming stop. Alternatively, you continue to Bergsmyrene Farm, with a self-service shop and organic products.

A gravel road leads to Biffgården, where you will find meat products in a self-service shop and grazing cows. The route then goes up Jahrenveien, past Ravnsborg garden which has the most beautiful flowers, and further through farmland and forest.

On the way down you pass Honningbua, a small outlet with local honey, before reaching Rødtangen, a cozy place by the sea. The last part goes on asphalt back to Holmsbu and along here you can take detours and see the dolmen and Viking mounds, Støa artist's site and Holmsbu Art Museum with motifs from the artist Henrik Sørensen.

The trip is 23 km long with many meters of elevation gain – an electric bike makes the slopes easier. Between Sand and Grønnsletta there may be some traffic and the section is not suitable for smaller children.

Biking along Vorma

Welcome to Vormtråkk – an unforgettable journey through nature, culture, and history. This unique trail follows an old railway line and crosses the impressive, heritage-protected Minne Bridge from 1880. Here, industrial history has been brought back to life as a modern path for exploration, thanks to the efforts of Bane NOR, Eidsvoll Municipality, and dedicated local enthusiasts.

Vormtråkk is much more than a walking path. It’s 8–9 kilometers of pure joy in easy and accessible terrain – ideal for walkers, joggers, cyclists, families with strollers, roller skiers, and wheelchair users. Enjoy a picturesque route along the Vorma River and onward to Lake Mjøsa, surrounded by beautiful views and peaceful nature.

The trail begins at Eidsvoll Station, just a short walk from Eidsvoll town center, and takes you all the way to Minnesund. Here, it connects with the Mjøstråkk trail, which continues north to Hamar. It's perfect for a day trip: cycle up to Hamar and take the train back, or continue your adventure by cycling back along the other side of the lake.
