Hurdalsjøen by bike
The nature in Hurdal is magnificent, with wooded hills surrounding Hurdalssjøen. The buildings are located around the sea and extend up the valleys – a nice mix of traditional hamlets and modern construction sites, which together form an attractive cultural landscape. In Hurdal’s large forest areas, there are miles of forest roads and paths where you can discover the surroundings on two wheels. Hurdal offers over 40 lakes with fishing and swimming opportunities and fantastic views, such as Fjellsjøkampen, Akershus’ highest point.
You stay at Hurdalsjøen Hotel, located in the middle of an eldorado of nature experiences. The hotel is an architectural gem that is beautifully reflected in Hurdalsjøen and they place great emphasis on art. As they see it, well-being is something more than fantastic food and drink from Eastern Norway’s dishes. It is also something more than feeling the body find its way back to itself in their new Spa. Wellness is also when you tickle or tease the intellect through art.

Winter stroll along Høvikodden
Winter stroll from Høvikodden
The coast from Sjøholmen via Høvikodden towards Sarbuvollen offers great terrain, nice hiking possibilities and beautiful cultural and natural landscapes. Summer as winter. The winter sun lights up the stretch on a good day. Take a walk in the sculpture park at Henie Onstad Art Center then continue along the water towards Veritasparken which through the years has housed a glass factory and a lamp and metal ware factory before DNV now ensures life at sea through certifications. Up in the woods you find a network of trails and a great playground in DNV Kindergarten.
Walk on ice:
During the cold winter period it often freezes between Høvikodden, Storøya, Solvik, Kalvøya and Borøya. Then the area is transformed into a great hiking area by ski, on foot, skating or kick-bikes. If the ice is safe, trails are marked. Take a stoll to Borøya and enjoy the view and a pique-nic.
It is nice to end the tour with a coffee and snack at the Piruette at Henie Onstad Art Center or at Sjøholmen.
Good parking facilities both on Høvikodden and Sjøholmen, and the bus stops nearby.
