The River Ride Jungletour

The River Ride: Jungle tour of the west side: Maerradalen Radium Hospital - Maerradalen - Hovseterskogen - Bogstad Farm Starting point: Radium Hospital, Ullern Easy arrival along the cycling route on Ring 3, from Smestad tram station (approx. 1.5 km) Distance: 6 km Incline: 100 m Roadway: mostly gravel, a bit rough in places. Between Ringveien and the heavily trafficked highway 168, you will find a dense, wonderful 'enchanted' forest situated in a little-known river valley. Maerradalen is a splendid nature experience all summer long and a fine bicycle ride. Leave Ringveien one and a half kilometres west of Smestad Station and cycle uphill towards Husby along Maerradalsbekke stream. To lengthen the ride a bit, head for the natural destination of Bogstad Farm, which you will reach after cycling under Highway 168, through the Hovseter fields and past Bogstad Camping. The road surface of the last kilometre before Bogstad Camping is slightly rough, but fully 'cyclable' for those on a mountain bike.
