"orienteering" Top 5 Page for this destination Oslo Sports & Outdoors Tip by Hildeal

this is a great way to know the nature of Oslo. In Milslukern sport, shop in Ullevål stadion (where the metro stop), sell orientation maps for 250 kr. They only accept cash. The posts are out there from April to October. There are different orienteering clubs, so if you see a post somewhere, make sure that it's the right one. There's also a description of where to find the maps. It's only in Norwegian, but Google translate is your friend. When you're doing this kind of sport, always have the bus card with you. You never know where you end up if you get lost somewhere and have to take the bus back. And always bring your cell phone. If you're lucky you'll see Elk, worms and other animals.

Be prepared to see naked men i near the lake in Bånntjern. It’s a nudist place. I wish they would not gather where the control posts are located. I really feel stupid when I have to interrupt their sexual activity to register my post number. You should also be prepared to see some wild men in the forest with tents.

Equipment: a compass, a map, rain clothes, cell phone and a bus ticket. If you're bringing you dog with you, you should consider giving worm tablets, in case this would happen. I have never seen worms in this area and I hope and never get to see them, I have snake phobia.
