Good Friday walk along the banks of "Akerselva"

This year´s Easter walk did not go between mountain cottages during the last days of winter snow. Together with friends and friends` friends we strolled along the riverbanks of the main river in Oslo, Akerselva

We started at "Oset" and stopped for the first 20ml Underberger at "Frysja" and "Stilla"

The path from "Maridalsvannet" to the Oslo Fjord at the Opera the river has a fall of 149 meter.

There are a lot of beautiful waterfalls during the more than 8km passage.

In Nydalen artist have covered some of the trees with winter cloths, or maybe it is only clolour-plays.

"Møllefossen" is one of the most famous waterfalls and at "Hønse-Lovisa´s house" there is a small cafe serving good food and coffee (including a toilet for needy walkers)

At "Cuba" the river is slowing down its stream and a student-house has been established in the old Silo

After Cuba the establishment Blå always has some artworks / sculptures presented outside the venue. Here a huge naked male figure has climbed up in a tree

and in another tree an owl is watching your steps.

A Good Friday walk includes a lot of breaks for regaining lost body-fuel and time for discussions. Gunnar, Ragnhild and Tore are resting at one of the "Brown Cafes" that can be found on the route.

However, Good Friday is only one of the days during Easter week, and on Easter Sunday the Resurrection of the nature is here exemplified through the scillas and "hvitveis" (Anemone nemorosa)
