From our walk around the lake at Sognsvann 2day



Lisa enjoy our walk around the lake - as long as its not raining or blowing. Some snow and ice don't stop her playful walk around the beatiful lake.

Sognsvann (or Sognsvannet[1]) is a 3.3km circumference lake just north of Oslo, Norway.

Lying just within the greenbelt around Oslo, the lake is a popular recreational area, used as a camping, picnicking and bathing destination for the residents of Oslo during the summer, as well as a cross-country skiing, skating and ice fishing destination in the winter. The trail around it is used for walking or jogging all year. Cycling around the lake is prohibited due to large number of people covering this road on foot. Disabled access is good to and around the lake.

Part of the lake's popularity stems from its easy access from Oslo; Sognsvann station, located on the south end of the lake, is the final stop on line 3 on the Oslo T-bane.
