Råholt: Rail, Swimming and Trails

Råholt offers several points of reference for planning your trip: Eidsvoll verk station on the Gardermo Line, Råholt Bad and trails for hiking and cycling. If you’re looking for a hotel, you can choose your location based on whether rail connections, swimming or outdoor activities are important for your stay.

Getting here and rail connections

Eidsvoll verk station is a stop on the Gardermo Line near Råholt. Trains run from there towards Oslo and Oslo Airport. If you’re travelling by train, check the timetable for your travel day, as services may change when the timetable is revised. This helps you plan your journey around the connection that suits you.

Hiking and cycling routes

Tærudrunden runs west of the centre of Råholt and is 4.3 kilometres long. It crosses gently rolling terrain on good, dry cart roads and trails. Parking for Tærudrunden is available at Råholthallen and Råholt Bad; check the parking options before you set off. At the end of the route is the Lionsbua shelter, with a fire pit and firewood available. Check on site whether firewood is available.

For cycling, there is another route to consider: the Råholt–Dal cycle route follows the same track as National Cycle Route 7. Also known as the Pilgrim Route, it passes through Råholt on its way from Oslo to Eidsvoll, with Råholt at kilometre 72. Hiking Tærudrunden and cycling Route 7 are therefore different options to choose between, depending on your plans.
