Oslo Travel Guide: Akerselva

Off the beaten path, but right at the center of Oslo is the river that divides Oslo into east and west. Akerselva starts at Maridalsvannet lake in the north of Oslo, and discharges into the Oslo Fjord, right behind the Oslo Opera. Despite being a much used green area by Oslo locals, not many tourists find their way to Akerselva.

The area around the lowest parts of Akerselva is called Vaterland, and is right behind of Oslo Central Station. The Vaterland area isn’t particularly nice as there are some shady characters hanging around there, but it’s safe to walk there at daytime.

Above Vaterland the river passes to the west of Grünerløkka. Around the two bridges Nybrua and Ankerbrua, there are a number of cafes, bars and restaurants. There are also some interesting houses along the river, like Hausmania, which is a squatted house that has turned into kind of a culture house.

Adjacent to Hausmania are some of the most popular east side venues, Blå and Ingensteds. They are cafes during the daytime and bars/nightclubs at nighttime. The area around Blå is also popular for the many graffiti murals, and for the Sunday flee-market.

Next up is Mathallen, Oslo Food Court. At Mathallen there are a number of restaurants and bars, like Smelteverket (The Smelter) which is at the basement of Mathallen, by the river. Also by Mathallen is Dansens hus, National stage for dance.

At the opposite side of the river from Mathallen there is an old grain silo which has been converted into student apartments. By the silo, which is on the Grünerløkka side of the river, is the most famous coffee shop in Oslo, Tim Wendelboe. It's a coffee roastery, espresso bar, and a coffee school.

Upstream there is an area of Akerselva called Kuba, where there is a park called Kubaparken. In the park there is a bar, Fyrhuset Kuba, meaning the Lighthouse.

Above Kuba is an old suspension bridge, Åmot bru, by a scenic waterfall. There is an even larger waterfall a ten minute walk up-river. It’s called Vøyenfossen, and there are a few venues around there: Wallmans, Hønse-Lovisas hus and Månefisken.

A few kilometers up, at the north of Oslo is Nydalen. Akerselva runs through Nydalen. Nydalen Bryggeri og Spiseri is a good gastro pub and brewery by the river, and if you are staying at the Radisson Blu hotel in Nydalen, this is a nice option.

There are a few dams where you can swim in Akerselva, at the north of Nydalen is one of them. A more scenic dam is Frysja, which is a few kilometers north, closer to the rivers source. The dam is also known as Brekkedammen.

The source of Akerselva is Maridalsvannet lake. It’s not possible to go down to the lake because it’s Oslo’s main supply of drinking water. But there are plenty of footpaths around the lake and into the vast forest that is to the north of Oslo.

Golsjuvet in Hemseldal - ice climbing in Norway! | Ice Climbing Vlog Ep. 46

If you are looking for ice climbing some fun single pitch ice climbing and mixed climbing routes in Norway, then you should check out Golsjuvet in Hemsedal!

Golsjuvet near Hemsedal in Norway offers plenty of ice climbing ranging from WI3 to WI6 and mixed climbing up to M10. Golsjuvet near Hemsedal in Norway is situated in the riverbed about 2 km north of the village of Gol.

You approach Golsjuvet by driving up the Valdresvegen, and at the first right-hand hairpin take the left turn down a single track road. Follow this for about 1.5km running along the river until you start seeing the ice through the trees. Here there will be a small parking lot to your right. There is a turnpike where you have to pay a toll of 30 Norwegian kroner. When you cross the river make sure the ice is frozen solid. It is quite easy breaking through the ice if it is not solid enough, and the currents are strong! There is a small bridge about 80 meters north of the parking lot, where you can cross the river, and then abseil back down at the ice field. There are chained anchors here. Use them!

The ice climbing at Golsjuvet near Hemsedal in Norway change from season to season, but we ice climbed Normalveien at WI4, Trapp at WI4 and gave Ta i et Takk, a shot, which would normally be a mixed route at M6, but as the top was formed, we climbed the route at around WI5.

Compared to Rjukan also in Norway Hemsedal offers some really great climbs too. Golsjuvet actually resembles Krokan in Rjukan very much, so if you have been ice climbing there, then Golsjuvet feels familiar. The ice climbing routes at Golsjuvet are a bit longer than Krokan in Norway, though.

How to climb Tuvfossen (WI5) in Norway | Ice Climbing Vlog Ep. 49

Tuvfossen in Hemsedal is a Norwegian ice climbing classic! And it is one of the reasons why you should go ice climbing in Hemsedal.

If you want to learn more about ice climbing Tuvfossen in Hemsedal in Norway and know how to find the ice climbing route, what gear to bring, and how to get down safely again, then this is the right video for you.

First of all, Tuvfossen at WI4+ or WI5, is just 70 meters long, and can be climbed in two pitches.

You will find Tuvfossen by driving about 5 kilometers into the Grøndalen valleynorthwest of Hemsedal.

Park at the small parking lot next to the dumpsters on your right. The coordinates are 60°54'44.5N 8°26'06.0E.

From the parking lot ski or hike across the small bridge about 100 meters north of the parking lot and continue along the cross-country track back towards Hemsedal for about a kilometer. You will soon be able to spot Tuvfossen to your right.

We ice climbed Tuvfossen in two pitches, the first being about 50 meters, the second about 20 meters. Tuvfossen is an ice band, where you can choose to ice climb different variations, but generally the ice climbing is around WI5.

You descent by abseiling back down from the trees where you belayed from.
