Two outstanding national park excursions await in Honefoss. The practical Øyangen-Tverrsjøen packraft tour combines wildlife viewing with outdoor cooking – you’ll paddle through pristine Nordmarka while guides prepare fresh venison by campfire. I’m especially fond of the 2-day moose safari, which includes comfortable lodging and a memorable moose steak dinner while tracking these impressive creatures through Oslo’s backwoods. Both experiences feature expert local guides who know these trails intimately. Let’s explore these remarkable tours in detail.
