Reading the Forest: Signs of Wildlife Around Oslo
Reading the Forest: Signs of Wildlife Around Oslo
Join us for a calm and engaging wildlife hike in the forests surrounding Oslo, where we learn to “read” the forest through the signs animals leave behind. Together with a friendly local guide, you’ll discover footprints, droppings, feathers, feeding marks, and trees rubbed by moose and deer — clues that reveal the hidden life of the forest.
We follow easy trails through Nordmarka at a relaxed pace, with plenty of time to stop, explore, and ask questions. This experience is about curiosity rather than distance, making it ideal for families, international visitors, and anyone who wants to connect more deeply with nature.
Along the way, we stop at one of Nordmarka’s cosy forest cabins to warm up with hot chocolate and freshly baked cinnamon buns — a true taste of Norwegian outdoor culture.
No wildlife sightings are required for a great experience. The forest itself tells the story — you just need to know how to read it.
