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.

For more information about the Pilgrim path, see https://www.pilegrimsleden.no/en/

The Pilgrim’s Route through Follo

The Pilgrim's Trail through Follo is an accessible hike that combines nature, history and the opportunity for peace and quiet, and is suitable for both experienced hikers and those who want day trips or shorter stages of a pilgrimage. The hike through Follo offers a mix of coastal nature, forests, along rivers and through agricultural landscapes past cultural and historical sites. There are many nice places for breaks with benches and information signs along the way.

The trail starts in the idyllic coastal town of Son, known for its well-preserved wooden houses and coastal culture. From here, the route heads north along the Såna through an undulating cultural landscape with agricultural fields, woodland and past several historical sites such as the Labo loading site. You pass Vestby Church, a red brick church in neo-Gothic style from 1886, which is a nice place for a break.

The trail continues on a gravel road in an open landscape to Ås, including through the beautiful park areas at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) and up to Ås Church. Follow the route down to Årungen and back up on Kongeveien at Nordby. In Nøstvetmarka there are traces of the old homesteads. We pass the golf course at Greverud and on towards Sofiemyr, where the trail follows the old road over Grønliåsen and into Oslo. At the top of the hill are burial mounds from the early Iron Age.

At the Oslo border, the trail continues into the city center, where it finally meets the Gudbrandsdalsleden at the ruins of St. Halvard's Cathedral in Gamlebyen. From Oslo you can continue towards Trondheim. Here you can choose a western route over Ringerike or an eastern route over Romerike.

The entire Borgleden from the Swedish border to Oslo is around 190 km long in total and is suitable for both day trips and longer hikes. For detailed map information and stage suggestions, accommodation and preparations, it is recommended to read more about Pilegrimsleden at https://www.pilegrimsleden.no/en/

The Love Path – Dikemark hike

The walk is child-friendly and easily accessible, but also offers a lot for those interested in local history and art.

Along Verkensvannet and Nordvannet
The path winds along Verkensvannet, with several cozy swimming and picnic areas that invite you to take breaks and picnics. Here the children can play by the water, while the adults enjoy the view and the tranquility. Eventually you cross the main road and continue along the east side of Nordvannet, where the path goes up a little into the terrain before it meets the water's edge again at a new swimming area with a pier and raft.

Historical buildings and local culture
On the way you pass Odden, a beautiful building that in 1925 was a tuberculosis sanatorium for children. The tour continues towards Slottsberget, and you have the opportunity to take a short detour to Dikemark riding club and Vardåsen school, before you reach the intersection at the former Sportsstuen café – a popular gathering place from 1923.

On the way back you pass Vardåsen Sanatorium, a magnificent Baroque-style building with a spire, which once housed tuberculosis patients. Since then, the building has also been a psychiatric ward for the elderly under Oslo University Hospital.

Artistic life 
The tour ends back at the hospital area, where you will find several old, listed buildings and green lawns. Here, Dikemark Kunsthall has been established at Verksveien 2 (formerly Trafo Kunsthall which was located in Asker) and various exhibitions and events are held in the listed buildings. The Dikemark Psychiatric Hospital Museum is also located here at Sykehusveien 4.

Have a nice walk along the Love Path – a gem in Asker!

Length: approx. 5 km
Starting point: Dikemark Hospital (bus and parking available)

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)

Bokkedalen

Bokkedalen is Eidsvoll's most popular hiking destination, summer and winter.

Drive county road 181 from Sundet towards Fenstad/Vormsund. Just before the 50-zone ends, turn left into Åslettavegen. Then it is 700 meters to the Februa car park.

Bokkedalen is a well-known hiking destination in Eidsvoll. There are marked paths from all directions, cleared away trees and stumps that stand in the way. Bridges, surprises like trolls/gnomes along the way, yes this place is adventurous. Everything is done with diligence and you can walk on nice wooden bridges over the marsh until you get to a fantastic Gapahuk with a large barbecue area outside.

It is a relatively easy walk of about 2.5 km each way. The trip is on a good path and there is no steep climb up. Own winter trail with good markings.

Good trip!

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
