Østensjøvannet Nature Reserve
E18, 1434 Ås, Norge 1 hour
This is the perfect spot if you want to go for a stroll without it being too steep or tiring. The path around the lake is flat and easy, with plenty of birds and swans to watch. Bring a seating pad and find a bench along the trail. It is the kind of walk where conversation flows easily because you always have nature to look at.
