This is the river that goes through Oslo. I recommend to take a walk along this river from the city and up to Norsk teknisk museum. Along the way you pass several nice clubs, restaurants, swimming areas and parks. You do not have to walk the whole way of course. The swimming areas are best in the upper parts of the river.
