Oslo's Largest River - Akerselva

Akerselva is Oslo's largest river and begins it's cascade at Maridalsvannet in Oslomarka weaving it's way through the heart of central Oslo and her neighbouring boroughs until its final flush into Oslofjorden located near Oslo's iconic Opera House in the Bjørvika area. Approximately 9.8 kilometres in length, her clear waters flow past old brick buildings (that once housed factories) that now are occupied by hip cafés, bars, galleries, and apartments. Walking and cycling paths trace the river’s edge, where fish, birds, and greenery thrive in the middle of the city.
