What To Expect

Akerselva River

After a short introduction and briefing from your tour guide, you will hop on one of the city's commuter trains bound for Maridalen Lake. This lake is one of Oslo's main drinking water sources and also the headwaters of the Akerselva River. Our walk begins just below the lake next to the Technical Museum at Kjelsås, winding through forested areas and colorful wooden houses.Soon you will start to see a change in the landscape surrounding the river as we start to move into the more industrial heart of the city. Here old factories harnessed the power of the Akerselva and damns were created leaving beautiful waterfalls for us to enjoy. Here your guide will tell you a bit about this storied history, as well as it's impacts on the river itself.If time allows we'll take a detour up to the beautifully preserved wooden houses of Telthusbakken and Damstredet (Oslo's "most instagrammed" streets!)
