Signification
Enjoying nature by walking.
Contexte culturel
The 'Søndagstur' (Sunday trip) is a national institution. Most shops are closed on Sundays, so families head to the forest. The 'Kvikk Lunsj' chocolate bar is the mandatory snack for a forest walk. It even has hiking tips printed inside the wrapper. The concept of 'Marka' in Oslo refers to the massive forested areas that are protected from urban development, ensuring everyone can 'gå en tur i skogen' within 20 minutes of the city center. Greeting strangers with a 'Hei' or 'Hallo' is expected in the forest, unlike in the city where it might be seen as strange.
The 'Hei' Rule
Always say 'Hei' to people you meet. It's the law of the forest!
Preposition Trick
Remember: 'I' for trees (you are inside), 'På' for mountains (you are on top).

4 questionsYes, 'ta en tur' is very common and slightly more informal. Both are perfectly natural.
In this specific phrase, yes. Saying 'en tur i en skog' sounds like you are a scientist visiting a random forest for the first time.
Then it's not a 'skogstur'. You would say 'gå en tur på fjellet' (mountain) or 'gå en tur ved sjøen' (by the sea).
For a simple 'tur i skogen', sneakers are often fine, but Norwegians love their 'tursko' (hiking shoes).
