Route Details

In addition to all the museums and historic places at Bygdøy, the island includes nice beaches and parks. This easily biked route takes you around the perimeter of the island.

The route starts near E18 (Hengsengveien) and takes you southeast along @slice[Frognerkilen](d,286.03,549.8) – a bay in the inner Oslofjord of Norway, east of the Bygdøy peninsula.

First stop may be @poi[Oscarhall](2563518) – a royal summer palace built in 1854. You'll immediately discover that your tour of the property includes farming and cultivated land. For a long time the Royal family has held a farm near Oscarshall.

The route continues on to @poi[Norsk Folkemuseum](2563519) – Norway’s largest museum of cultural history. This museum is worth more than a short stop, you should spend a full day here. The exhibit also include the world’s largest open air collections.

From the entrance of the Norsk Folkemuseum, the route takes you along @slice[Langviksveien](d,1653.87,2474.91) and @slice[P.T. Mallings vei](d,2480.48,3142.94) down to @poi[Hukodden Strandrestaurant](2563520) where you can enjoy some refreshments.

The @slice[next leg](d,3719.91,6189.93) is on the west side of the island following the tracks near the seaside.

@poi[Bygdøy Sjøbad](2563517) is an excellent place for a swim. *The beach was opened in 1880. At this time salt water was seen as healthy (it still is!). Of course women and men where separated and the bath was taken in “bowls”.*

**Bygdøy Sjøbad is now a national cultural monument.**

The final leg is back to the starting point following “@slice[Bestumkilen](d,6393.89,7251.31)”.

Until 1998, Fornebo was the main airport for Oslo (IATA name FBU). Also before the time of the demolition of the airport, the peninsular area in the suburban municipality of Bærum has been a recreation area with nice beaches, parks and mansions for wealthy people.

But now you can enjoy a modern living style, architectural office buildings and the silence (no more airplanes!). (less)
