Wonderfull surprise
The river Akerselva runs from Maridalsvannet through the centre of Oslo and into the Oslo Fjord. The river is 8 km of recreation, through forests and industrial history, fishing, swimming and several waterfalls. The highest waterfall is next to Honse-Lovisas hus (a small, red house) and the Beier bridge.

Good For A Dip!
This time we decided to swim in this river in the area of Kjelsås (northern Oslo). Again, we found it very clean to the naked eye and relaxing in the sun. Great for our family and our young granddaughter who made full use of her blow up crocodile. A pleasantly warm current in the shallows and even in the deeper areas. Ducks didn't seem to be bothered by our presence.

A Top River Running Through The Capital!
We walked a lot along the pathways to the north of the river, on the outskirts of Oslo, in the area of Kjelsås. A lovely area, taking in the peace and tranquility of the place. Generally very clean and tidy during this mild February. Lots of people out walking, cycling and jogging at the weekends over the undulating ground. Lots of seats to sit on and take in your surroundings. Play areas for the kids every so often and also areas to feed the ducks. Evidence of the beavers having beavered away on the trees along some of the riverbanks. Man made waterfalls to be seen and evidence of the industrial past. An excellent river, for an excellent capital!
