Sognsvann — Local services in Oslo

I really love Sognsvann, and I'll tell you why in points:

It's right by the metro/subway which means you can get back and from Sognsvann every 15 minutes and it's no hassle. It's a great bathing place for children and adults. It's a big forest around it and there's lots of blueberries and other berries growing here. That's fun for children and adults. It's a great place to go camping in a tent. It's easy to get away from the other guests, and still only having a few minutes walk down to the water.

It is not so dangerous to swim if you are a swimmer. There are places for grilling so you can have a picnic here if you desire. In the winter the lake is completely frozen, that is good for the skiers. You will love it.Visit here and you will get a...
