Big green area with a lot of tracks around the forest. In the same area you find a sculpture park and a familiy farm where you can visit horses, sheep etc. Great view from galnces in the forest. A quite steep hike to get up to the area from the apartment, but not too bad. Somewhat fit people will not have a problem running all the way up (in slow tempo). If you do public transportation to "Ekebergparken" you don't need to do the steepest hike.
