Adventure brief
Himmelen er et sted akkurat her — Kano over natten i Oslomarka
Just south of Oslo, the waterways and forests of Oslomarka open into a compact overnight route out of Siggerud: a 24-hour canoe rental from WildOslo that hands you a detailed map and a small, well-maintained fleet. With only three canoes available, this is a quietly curated way to paddle through forested lakes, find marked swimming spots and pick a campsite to sleep under the stars.
Oslomarka, the expansive forested region ringing Norway’s capital, Oslo, offers some of the country’s most accessible and varied outdoor experiences. Among its rugged hills, pristine lakes, and whispering woods, "Leie kano i Oslomarka - 24 timer" invites paddlers to immerse themselves fully in this Norwegian wilderness with a unique overnight canoe rental. Perfect for families and those traveling with pets, this adventure unlocks the serene waterways and secluded campsites of Oslomarka, a less-traveled yet magical outdoor corridor.
This rental includes just three canoes, ensuring a personalized and intimate experience with expert local guidance embedded in the detailed maps provided. These maps highlight the best swimming spots and ideal camp locations, so you can tailor your trip from tranquil daytime paddles to starry nights under open skies. The lakes here are framed by ancient pine forests and rocky outcrops, with crystalline waters that mirror the changing sky.
Paddling through these silent, natural corridors reveals the lesser-known side of Norway’s outdoor life. Since Oslomarka stretches over thousands of hectares around Oslo, it features a diverse landscape that supports native wildlife like beavers and white-tailed eagles, which you might glimpse during a quiet stop. The rental is exceptionally family-friendly and welcoming to pets, making it a rare and inclusive way to engage with nature without the crowds.
The canoes come equipped with three paddles, life vests, and the essential maps to navigate safely. You get 24 hours to explore at your own pace, whether that’s dipping into cool, forest-hidden swimming holes or setting up camp by a quiet bay. The overnight element opens the door to truly connect with this rugged landscape after most day visitors have gone.
Located conveniently at Bru, 1404 Siggerud, this spot offers easy access from Oslo yet feels a world away thanks to the thickly wooded trails and serene waters. Oslomarka itself is steeped in outdoor tradition, long cherished by locals for hiking, skiing, and, now, peaceful paddling adventures. This canoe rental business stands out because it focuses on low-impact recreation, emphasizing stewardship of the land while fostering authentic wilderness experiences.
Whether you’re seeking a calm weekend getaway or an active family escapade in Norway’s renowned outdoor corridor, booking ‘‘Leie kano i Oslomarka’’ offers a rare chance to paddle, swim, and sleep in nature’s embrace with just the right blend of comfort and wilderness.
