Access
Langøyene is located just south of Oslo in the Oslo Fjord. The island can be reached by ferry line no. B2 from City Hall Pier, which goes all summer and takes you to the east side of the island. The crossing itself is short, usually around fifteen minutes. When you step off the boat, you’re already in the middle of the landscape, since the islands are car‑free and everything is within walking distance. The total length of the walking route shown on the map is about 4 km.
