SINOPSIS

Source: https://floyen.no/en

From the top funicular station, walk to the information board then follow Bjørneseths vei to the right to Skomakerdiket lake. Take the track to the right leading around the lake.

This is a wonderful part of the mountain for adventures all year round. In the winter, when the ice is safe, you can skate over the lake, or go sledging on the banks. In the summer, you can go swimming or hire a canoe. The far banks of the lake are perfect for picnics, with barbecues, benches, tables and a small cabin.

From the far bank, walk to the right up- hill on Blåmansveien. At the junction on Blåmansveien, take the right and continue up the large hairpin bend. You will see sign- posts marked ”Revurtjern” and ”Bjørnebu”. Bjørnebu is a picnic shelter. Revurtjern is a small lake with tables and benches on its banks – a beautiful spot for a break.

Revurtjern: The Norwegian word ”rev” means fox while “ur” means scree and “tjern” is lake, so the lake has been named after foxes observed in the scree by the lake. This was some time ago and observations are few and far between today. You can however enjoy the busy bird life in this area, with birdhouses in the forest around the lake.

The area around the lake has intriguing paths and footbridges. To return to Fløyen, walk round the lake and take the path heading north towards Halfdan Griegs vei. Take a left and continue on Halfdan Griegs vei down to Blåmansveien where you take the right track back down to the start.

This is a delightful little trip which will put a smile on your face.
