Hovedøya — kva var Oslo utan.

Only few minutes from Oslo on the public ferry this island is a gem with great beaches and plenty of green spaces

Na ostrov jsme se dostali lodí v ceně 24 hodinové jízdenky na MHD. Ostrov byl větší, než jsme čekali. Prošli jsme se lesem, po plážích, užili si nádherné výhledy a naprostý klid. Přesně tohle jsme po hektických dnech potřebovali. Minimum lidí a krásná příroda.
