Thursday, June 11th, is a summer activity day for employees at the University of Oslo!

The program includes:

Bike ride from Stryken: Participants and their bikes are brought to Stryken by bus. From there many routes lead back to Oslo. UiOBIL members will be present as guides.

The Bergerlina rail trail and the Eidsvoll Building: We will take the train to Dal and continue along the rail trail "Bergerlinna" to Hurdalsjøen lake where we will have a short break. The last part goes along a disused road to the Eidsvoll building close to Andela river. Lunch will be served at Kafé Standpunkt in the Eidsvoll building before a guided tour in the historic Rikssalen where the Constitution of Norway was signed.

The Berger Line was a six-kilometre horse railway which opened in 1854 along with the Trunk Line – Norway´s first railway. The corridor is today a rail trail which goes through a forest with gravel surface.

Guided tour of the Botanical Garden: The Botanical Garden (est. 1814) is the oldest botanical garden in the country (map) and is a part of the Natural History Museum. It holds over 5000 plant species in both greenhouses and outdoor gardens.

The tour takes about an hour and covers most of the garden, its history, particular plants and the layout of the gardens. The guided tour is free of charge.

Høyt og Lavt climbing park at Tryvann: Climbing with guides.

Arrange your own event: You can also arrange your own event (approved by your nearest supervisor).
