Top Oslo Adventure Tours

A three-hour guided hike through the forests just outside Oslo, built around Viking history and Norse folklore — developed with a Viking expert who helped shape every story along the route. Walking beneath the trees, you'll hear the myths that defined a civilisation: the creation of the world, Thor's legendary fishing trip, the tragic death of Baldur, and many more tales. The forest has its own inhabitants too — trolls, the enchanting Huldra, and the Nøkken, creatures that have lured people into the woods for as long as the people of Scandinavia have told their stories. We stop at Trollvann lake for Norwegian trail snacks and a hot drink. Your guide will tell you the story behind the food too. The myths don't stay in the past. By the end of the hike, you'll understand how Norse cosmology laid the foundations for a distinctly Norwegian relationship with nature — one that persists in friluftsliv, allemansretten, and the quiet romanticism Norwegians still bring to their forests today.
