Kragutsikten
Voksenkollveien, 0790 Oslo 1 h 30 min
Along Voksenkollveien, there is a small opening in the forest that most people just drive past. From here, you can see all the way to Drøbak. It is not a fancy setup, just a bench and a killer view. When the sun goes down, you can see the lights from the small towns along the fjord.
Why it works
You get that hiking feeling without having to walk for hours. The view makes it easy to keep the conversation going.
