Bygdøy
Excellent way to get quickly into the forest and experience why Norwegians have a special bond to nature. Take the path on the west side of Sognsvann to get to a viewpoint called Vettakollen. If you get lost, ask for directions. Every Norwegian is helpful when out in nature.

Sightseeing
Excellent place to get a nice view of Oslo. Take the Frognerseteren metro all the way up (30 min). If you manage to rent a downhill bike there are some epic tracks going down from the metro station. Otherwise you could rent an offroad bike and bike through the forest, all the way back to Sagene via Sognsvann.
