Oslomarka in Oslo

What if we told you that you can have pizza in the middle of Nordmarka on an ordinary Tuesday? It might sound too good to be true, but every Tuesday Kobberhaughytta fires up the pizza oven and serves steaming hot “forest pizza” made with Norwegian and locally sourced ingredients. Surrounded by spruce trees, small lakes, and the colors of the season, you can end your hike with freshly baked pizza and a clear conscience. Even though Kobberhaughytta feels far from the city, it’s actually not that hard to reach. We took the metro to Frognerseteren and started our adventure from there (about 8 km hike), but you can also begin from Sognsvann (about 10 km) or Sørkedalen (about 5 km). From Frognerseteren it’s roughly eight kilometers along a marked trail before the scent of pizza greets you and the cabin appears between the trees. The pizza menu changes with the seasons, featuring red pizzas with Italian tomatoes or white pizzas with Røros sour cream and lingonberries. All toppings are sourced from local producers. We tried the pizza called 'Helge', topped with lingonberry sour cream, mozzarella, elk, blue cheese, and honey. A surprising but seriously good combo! The café (when open) also serves fresh buns, waffles, soup, and toast, along with drinks like coffee, blackcurrant toddy, hot chocolate, wine, and beer. All of which taste even better out in the woods!
