# route

After a short trip on the train, you'll enter the wilderness that surrounds Oslo.  Take your bicycle back to the city centre along this gravel path.

The route is easy to follow. From @poi[Movatn](2563663) station you will have to bike a short distance north, then turn east before you enter “@slice[Greveveien](d,650.48,2477.24)” -- the old main road between Hakadal Verk and Hammeren.

You will follow Greveveien southward towards Oslo along the old railway, passing @poi[Snippen](2563665) and @poi[Sandermosen station](4485081) before you coming to the lake, [Maridalsvannet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maridalsvannet).

This route ends at [Kjelsås station](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kjels%C3%A5s_Station), where you can take your bike on the tram or continue downtown.

## important
Some planning is needed for this trip; you have to book a ticket for your bicycle **in advance**.

Without a train ticket for your bike, you’ll risk being left standing on the platform when the train departs from Oslo.

**Booking the ticket is easy** – just a phone call to NSB (phone number 815 00 888) is needed and thereafter pick up your reservation at the Oslo Central Station.

The line is called “Gjøvikbanen” and you should book a ticket to Movatn station.

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)
