Ullevålseter

Ullevålseter is a forest cabin located in Nordmarka that offers refreshments and rest for hikers passing through the woods. The building has benches outside, indoor seating, and basic facilities like toilets and a water source.

The cabin was established in 1927 and has been run continuously by the same family for generations, building a steady presence in the forest. This long-standing operation has made it a recognized stopping point within Nordmarka.

The cabin is known for serving traditional Norwegian waffles and cinnamon buns, keeping alive the customs of forest hospitality that define this type of refuge. Visitors sit together inside and outside, making it a social gathering place in the woods.

You can reach the cabin by following forest paths from nearby metro stations or starting points around Nordmarka. Wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for changing weather, as conditions in the forest vary throughout the year.

Behind the red main building sits a freshwater hose that hikers can use freely, providing a simple way to refill bottles or drink. This casual detail reflects the straightforward, no-nonsense approach to serving forest visitors.
