The inner city areas of Tøyen and Gamlebyen have a dense urban fabric with older buildings and infrastructure of various sizes, shapes and materials. The result is an acoustic environment that is both diverse and coherent. The walk takes you through blue and green parks for young and old. On your way you will cross Klosterenga, Minneparken and Middelalderparken, where you can hear and observe the difference between Oslo’s current urban fabric and the urban structure built in the 19th century. Middelalderparken is designated as one of 14 quiet areas of Oslo. They are located along creeks and rivers and connect the the fjord with the forest areas around Oslo.
Start: Tøyen Torg
End: Losæter park at the public bakehouse
