Close to Nature: Experience the Jeløya Coastal Path and Bjørnåsen
Whether you prefer walking, running, or cycling, the Jeløya coastal path is a nature experience in a class of its own. Starting at the canal bridge in the centre of Moss, the trail leads you through one of Norway’s most beautiful coastal stretches. Jeløya is one of the largest and most diverse islands in the Oslo Fjord, renowned for its unique cultural landscape and rich biodiversity.
Highlights of Jeløya:
- Active Adventures: The island is perfect for hiking and cycling. We recommend bringing a bike to explore more of the attractions and nature reserves in a single day.
- Protected Landscapes: Experience untouched nature in several landscape protection areas and nature reserves created to preserve the island's unique flora and fauna.
- Hiking to Bjørnåsen: North of Nes, the terrain rises significantly. From here, you can see Bjørnåsen, Jeløya’s highest peak, which offers panoramic views of the fjord.
