Round Bygdøy by the coast path from Huk

From Huk P-Plass at the southern tip of Bygdøy the line goes clockwise. It runs east, mostly on residential streets, to Bygdøynes, then by Løchenveien, Christian Benneches vei, Huk aveny and Dronninghavnveien past the ferry quay at Dronningen to the shore path below Oscarshall and Dronningberget, goes up the east side of Frognerkilen to the head of the bay and comes back down the west side. From Bygdøy sjøbad it keeps to the west coast, through woods and along the shore past Paradisbukta, to the beach at Huk. Oslo kommune's page for Huk says many paths take you round the whole of Bygdøy and that the coastal path (kyststien) leads from Huk to Paradisbukta in the west or Frognerkilen in the east.

It is 9.8 km round with 105 m of ascent; allow about 2¾ hours. Visit Oslo gives the coastal path round Bygdøy as about 10 km. The grade is Easy: the hills are low. By OpenStreetMap's classes 58% of the line is on paths, 29% on streets and 10% on tracks; the streets are mainly between Huk and Oscarshall, where the mapped coastal path runs along them.

There is no exposure, but the path is shared with cyclists and runners, since Oslo kommune says the coastal path suits walking, jogging and cycling. Between Dronninghavnveien and Huk aveny there is no shore path yet: Oslo kommune's page on a planned new coastal path there, a boardwalk or pier at the water's edge by Dronningen marina, says the project is in its pre-project phase (October 2025 to October or November 2026) and that construction cannot be expected for several years, so that part of our line is on streets. The same page says Huk aveny has narrow pavements today.

Bus 30 runs from the city centre to Huk, where Oslo kommune says there is a bus turnaround and a few parking spaces; Visit Oslo says bus 30 runs all year, stops at all the museums and turns at Huk. Huk P-Plass is marked on the map as a paid car park. Visit Oslo says there are many shortcuts if you want a shorter walk.
