Escape in Oslo`s Nordmarka wilderness with packraft!

Nordmarka is a forest area located north of Oslo. Here you can find the real feeling of wilderness. Here is a bustling bird and animal life, and fantastic fishing opportunities. This trip is not an extreme adventure. But a nice trip that is suitable for everyone, regardless of age and physical level.  The participants must be aware that there will be some physical work on the trip. For example, everyone must carry their own bags and equipment. And help transport packrafts both on land and in water. 

On the trip we take our time and focus on cosiness and good nature experiences. Paddling, fishing, swimming, bonfires, wildlife, good food and other great nature experiences, are things we will enjoy together on this trip. Did you know that in the old days, they floated timber through Nordmarka? We follow the path of the timber and will see lots of traces of the floating. In Nordmarka there is also a lot of other history, that we will tell you about. 

We make no demands on prior knowledge of outdoor life, only for a good mood and a little courage. 

Food: We offer 3 meals per. day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. We will also provide snacks and energy bars. We recommend that the participants bring some chocolates, nuts or other snacks themselves as well. One of the days we will make vension stew, with local and self-hunted meat. 

Equipment: Fossen Friluft provides all the the equipment required for paddling, hammocks/tent for accommodation, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, equipment for cooking, cutlery, plate and bag/sack for those who do not have. 

We will pick you up at Gardemoen and transport you to Tverrsjøen, where the paddletrip strart.  From Tverrsjøen  will we follow the waterways, and we will end up in Oslo.  Large parts of the trip take place on water. But there are som walking stages between some of the lakes. The longest stage is approx. 3 km. We spend the nights in hammocks and tents.  

All luggage that you do not need for the paddling trip, can be left on the bus. We will transport it to Oslo for you. We alo provide transport from our ending point to your hotel.
