Semsvannet is a small lake just outside Oslo in Asker. It has become quite popular with locals for weekend walks and picnics. The lake sits in a protected landscape area, which means the surroundings stay relatively untouched.
You will find an easy walking path that circles the entire lake. It takes about thirty minutes to walk around completely. There is a small waterfall on the northern side that makes for decent photos. The path is mostly flat, so families with young children manage it without problems. Be aware that weekends get crowded, all year round.
Early morning visits work better if you want some peace. Parking fills up quickly after ten in the morning.
