Rock carvings and wildlife tour to Dælivann

The cultural landscape below Kolsåstoppen is an exciting area with traces of early settlements, rich wildlife and connections to famous painters such as Christian Skredsvig and his work "The Boy with the flute" that is displayed in the National Gallery and here we also find rare petroglyphs from the early Iron Age that are important for depicting and understanding our ship history.

At Dalbo, there are the first traces of one of the most important technological innovations in shipping in the years around the birth of Christ. The rock carvings of ships on the rock surfaces at Dalbo show the transition from ships that are paddled to ships that are rowed. This development took place sometime between 500 BC and the first centuries after Christ. The development of the rowing ship opened up to be able to build larger boats and cross over longer stretches of sea. The new technology that developed changed the cultural conditions in Norway and the Nordic countries, in the form of increased interaction, cultural influence, trade and warfare.

Dælivann is located in an area that "has the most": ancient cultural landscape, silence, burial mounds and traces of early settlements, old manor sites, carvings from the Bronze and Iron Age as well as lush farms. The area is rich in bird life, insects, flowers and trees. Here you can explore trails and a mosaic of habitats from swamps, streams and freshwater areas through rich cultural sites to varied forest environments, with exciting topography and geology including flat cultural sites, steep slopes and cliffs, where you can experience the two great peaks of Kolsås with extrodinary view over the Oslo area and the Oslo Fjord. Explore trails, nature trail with signs and popular climbing routes depending on available time and skills.

A cultural and nature trail has been created. The path is approx. 3 km that goes into the mixed forest which is part of the Skotta and Dalbo nature reserve.

And in winter time you can fish for roach, perch and pike, and there is an opportunity to go ice skating on Dælivannet.

The tour starts at the Godthaab bus stop. Arrival by own car or 30 min by bus 150 from Oslo / Lysaker. Approximately 1km to enter the cultural landscape from the bus stop, stroll around Dæhlivann (approx. 5km).

Alt 1 – Explore the nature reserve by the lake and the rock carvings. A stroll on dirt roads and trails.

Konglungen, coastal path

Konglungen has a lot to offer – even in late fall and winter. An exciting tour destination for many locals.

Parking at Spiredammen in the middle of Konglungen. The coastal path is marked from here. Turn right from the parking lot and follow the hiking trail past Spiradammen and further down towards Spirabukta. Spiradamm was one of Asker's largest ice ponds. Cutting and shipping of ice employed many people during the winter and was a major industry until 1940 when new cooling and freezing methods had taken over.

 

Follow the trail along the bay, a good fishing spot for sea trout and cod. Between the Løkenes farm and the beach there is a protected forest area with pleasant hiking trails. Go back the same way and follow the hiking trail along Spirabukta and up to the junction at Gamle Konglungvei, then turn right and soon you have the Ovnsbråten on your right. Remains of a lime kiln have been found here. Lime burning was also an important industry in Asker and Bærum. Lime was used as a binder in mortar and plaster and as a soil improvement agent. Around 1830 there were 40 lime distilleries in operation in Asker and Bærum. From the turn of the century until the 1950s, shrimp fishing was the main commercial activity in the area in addition to renting out holiday homes. 

 

Cross the bridge to the island and follow the road to the East Bay and the island's oldest house "Strandsitterhuset". The red house houses an exhibition and is open from May to September. On the return journey follow the eastern part of Old Konglungvei before turning right and follow the path along the shoreline to Esvika and then back to Spiradammen.

To arm up and enjoy a pleasant time together, we recommend the trip up to the Leangkollen Hotel which is known for its good food and food traditions. A delicious Sunday buffet is regularly offered here, and take time to enjoy the beautiful view of the Oslo Fjord should both in summer and winter.

We wish you a nice day.
 

Markaopplevelser

My name is Bjørn Eide and I own the company Markaopplevelser, which started 10 years ago and is located in Lommedalen.
Join the adventures in our grand nature; Where to find the best lakes for fishing? Where can we experience Blackcock and Tiur mating? Where does the Osprey live? These are examples of experiences I can show you. I share my local knowledge by inspiring and motivating my audience.

I emphasize safe guiding and take you through magnificent scenery.

Nature has always been a place I have lived in close contact with, ever since I was a little boy. With a mother born and raised in Krokskogen, and grandparents who had their work in there, the paths were just waiting for me to explore.
As an active cross-country skier for many years, I have crossed the forest many times. In the summer, I am an avid angler.

I have a lot of local knowledge in Bærumsmarka, Krokskogen, Nordmarka and Vestmarka. I'll be happy to guide you and your colleagues through some splendid nature experiences all year round.f

Welcome.

Trandumforest

Trandum forest is a national monument – but it is also a place where people like to go for a hike.

It is also the remains of a tank training ground, often called the tank firing range.

The course was built by the Germans during the Second World War. The shooting range consists of several large walls in reinforced concrete with openings, without a superstructure.

The walls, up to 10 meters high, stand at intervals of a few meters, and the course ends in a rampart . The track is approx. 300 meters long. The walls were to act as a large silencer for practice shooting, as well as to stop boom shots. Although the walls have some marks from such boom shots, the intention was to shoot through all the openings to hit the embankment at the end. The tank shooting range is accessible to the public, and is located close to the memorial in Trandumskogen, which has been set up in memory of those who were shot here during the war. 

The memorial is made of light Iddefjord granite and conducted by Per Palle Storm. The memorial is written:

"I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM IN THE WAR IN NORWAY 1940 – 1945. Here in the forest Trandum 173 Norwegians, 15 Soviet and 6 Brite executed enemies."

Right behind is a name plate on the executed. 18 grave sites / places of the north of the memorial is marked by numbered stone cross. Every 17 May morning will be held at the memorial monument.  

There are guiding tours which can be ordered from www.mia.no –  ullensaker.museum@mia.no
