Akerselva River
|
The river Akerselva is the "vein of the city", running from the lake Maridalsvannet, which is Oslo's main supply of drinking water, through the city's most populated areas, ending in the Oslo Fjord. |
 |
| Walking from lake Maridalsvannet down to Vaterland park in the centre takes about two hours if you don't take any breaks (9 km). We do recommend taking one’s time and exploring the possibilities that present themselves along the way – spend the whole day or divide the walk into parts and do a little each day! Observe how life along the river changes with the seasons; rushing waterfalls in the spring, quiet swimming ponds, autumn colors on the trees in the fall, or natural snow and ice sculptures along the river in the winter. See the Agency of Outdoor recreation and Nature management’s guide to the Aker river. Below are some of the activities found along the Aker river. On the right are some useful links to attractions, eateries, and scheduled events. |
