Kongeskogen

Oslo  >  Norway

Nice urban forest area in Oslo. It is a surprisingly large, continuous woodland for a capital city.

Beskrivning

Kongeskogen is a large deciduous forest that wraps around the royal estate on the peninsula west of central Oslo. It’s a long, gently undulating woodland of beech, oak, and mixed broadleaf trees. The forest is old in character, with long straight avenues from the nineteenth‑century landscaping still visible, mixed with deeper, quieter interior sections where beech and oak dominate.

Kongeskogen is one of Oslo’s most beloved walking areas, with many walking paths and trails, all open to the public and close to the city. The paths are old, some dating back to the early nineteenth century when the area was shaped as a landscaped walking forest for the royal estate. Many different forest birds can be spotted. For example Nötväcka, större hackspett, mindre hackspett, trädkrypare, sparvhök, domherre, grönfink, stenknäck, svartmes, rödvingetrast and kungsfågel.

Tillgänglighet

Kongeskogen sits across the northern and western parts of the Bygdøy peninsula in Oslo. Getting there from the centre is simple. You can take the bus to Bygdøy and walk straight into the forest from the bus stop (1). If you arrive by car: the whole area is threaded with small parking areas. Press a P on the map for directions.

Once inside the forest, the network of paths is dense but intuitive: broad historical avenues, narrower forest trails, and the occasional open glade. The circular walking route of 3 km shown on the map is just a suggestion, there are many other trails you can follow.
