The Akerselva river waterfalls in the heart of Oslo

The Akerselva river crosses Oslo from the Nordmarka forest to the fjord, creating evocative waterfalls in its urban course. This image captures one of the most picturesque corners of the city, where water flows impetuously among rocks and lush vegetation. Historic buildings along the banks testify to the river importance for Oslo industrial development in the 19th century. Today the path along the Akerselva has become one of residents favorite walks, a green corridor crossing continuously evolving neighborhoods.
