Upstream: Along the riverside of Akerselva
Join me for an easy stroll along the serene riverside of the Akerselva. You will be walking along the lower 3 kilometers of Akerselva river – from Vaterland Park, passing Grünrløkka and ending at Hønse-Lovisa’s House at Vøyen. Along the way, you’ll hear how the river shaped the industrial evolution of Oslo, and how it was brought back from environmental degradation, to become the tranquil, green artery of Oslo.
The tour starts at Vaterland Bridge, close to Vaterland Park, just south of Oslo Plaza and Oslo Spectrum, in downtown Oslo.
