Nature has a special place here in Norway. It’s often invoked in discussions of national identity and plays an interesting role in the ways in which Norwegian society is viewed, both by those within it and by those outside of it. So this weekend, a couple of friends and I took advantage of the gorgeous fall weather to get in touch with the Norwegian nature surrounding Oslo. We went on a six kilometer hike from Frognerseteren to Sognsvann (for those not familiar with Oslo and its surroundings, these are two gorgeous areas). Along the way we encountered beautiful scenery (and a fair amount of mud) and enjoyed having the trail to ourselves for most of our hike.
