The tower on Hasleråsen is a destination many people know, and there are many routes up to the top that have a lookout tower and a gap hut.
One of the routes is around 5 km and then it starts from the car park at the old nursery on Dal, at the end of Haslervegen. Follow the dirt road for a short distance until you come to an intersection, if you like hilly terrain, take the shortest, but more difficult, road up to Svinåsen. The other road is a dirt road, and then with uphills.
When you reach the top of Svinåsen, you have a long way to go, 900 meters with slightly more demanding terrain. At the top you can sign in the book and go up to the top of the tower,
Hasleråsen is a hill on the border between Eidsvoll and Ullensaker. The highest point is 348 meters above sea level and is located in Eidsvoll municipality. Åsen's southern part is in Ullensaker municipality, and here is also the highest point in the municipality, 313 m above sea level.
Welcome to Nilsstua farm in Hurdal.
Here you can take part in alpaca walking and buy unique products and yarns from our own alpacas.
At the farm you will meet Ola Bjerke and Maiken Tømta. A cohabiting couple who at the turn of the year 2018, together with 3 dogs, took over Ola's family farm where the production of roughage was the operation of the farm. At Nilsstua, production of hay is still taking place, but ever since Maiken and Ola took over in 2018, they have wanted to expand – and in 2019 the first alpacas moved in. They have become part of the family at Nilsstua. Alvin and the gang are calm and very special animals with a lot of personality that brings joy and positive energy into everyday life on the farm.
Much of the reason why the choice fell on alpacas was fiber production – a luxurious fiber that is spun into yarn, in addition to their calm nature. The farm focuses on breeding animals with good fiber quality and with full control of the entire process so that the animals have the best possible. Now, on the other hand, it is desired that more people get to experience how beautiful the alpacas are and get to know them better up close. Here you can take part in alpaca walking and buy unique products and yarns from our own alpacas. You will find us 1 hour north of Oslo.
Alvin and the gang on the farm are looking forward to meeting you – Welcome!
Inspired by cowgirls, cowboys, horses and western culture in the US. We started up with trail riding and western experiences in the southeast part of Norway. We live on a small farm on a peninsula surrounded by beautiful nature and the lake Mjermen. Our trail- rides goes along the lake and in the forest.
At Basnes Trail Rides you can have a great horseback adventure and be cowboy for a day. You can come alone, with friends or in bigger groups.
Welcome!
Alexandra Martinsen and Bjørn Brændshøi, two passionate alpaca breeders with more than 10 years experience. We breed alpacas for their luxurious wool and also for their mild, gentle presence which makes them perfect for human interaction. Alexandra is a teacher and she uses the alpacas in her work with children with extra needs. Bjørn is an engineer and focuses on breeding techniques and farm management. Our goal is to let people experience the wonderful alpaca up close and personal and we love seing sparkles in our visitors eyes when they do!
What we’ll do
You will be met by your host who will take you into the alpaca shed and into their field and let you meet the alpacas up close and personal. You will be taught what alpacas are, their origin, their history and of course why we have alpacas today and what we use them for. You will then help out by putting halter and leads on the alpacas, before each and one is given the responsibility for one of the alpacas for the rest of the activity, which takes approximately two hours in total. You will be able to pet the alpacas, take selfies and otherwise get a true and close connection with these very special creatures. We will then walk the alpacas on a scenic nature path in typical Norwegian landscape; fields, woods and hills – please wear clothes and footwear accordingly! We can adapt to visitor special needs. During the whole walk, your host will tell and talk about the alpacas adapted to your liking. We can arrange a typical Norwegian outdoor lunch on our camp site in the woods, using bondfire (if season). Contact us to plan such an outdoor lunch session accompanied by the alpacas! Contact us if your preferred date is not available when booking. Please note that we need to take the weather into account as this is an outdoor activity. If it is raining, it will not be fun for anyone (including the alpacas!).
What else you should know
Remember that the alpaca walk will be outdoors, in the nature. You will need to dress accordingly. Wear warm clothes if cold, especially gloves (you will be leading the alpaca) and hiking boots.
What to bring
Warm clothes (including gloves!) – if cold
Hiking boots or similar – if wet/snow
Water bottle – if hot

Drøbak is one of the country's most idyllic coastal towns, with small, charming wooden houses of great heritage value and plenty for children to experience.
Start the day in Badeparken, either with a swim or a visit to the architect-designed playground. Velhaven, located by the Bankløkka parking lot, also has a very nice playground in the town's little oasis.
Drøbak is also the town where the Norwegian Santa Claus has his official post address, so a visit to Tregaardens Christmas House is a highlight.
In Drøbak harbor, you'll find Drøbak Aquarium, which showcases the rich marine life of the Oslo Fjord up close. Here, you'll see everything from small baby sharks to Hugo the wolffish.
You can also ask to borrow crab fishing equipment from the Tourist Information if you want to try that. When you get hungry, there are many restaurants and cafes to choose from, and for dessert, the ice cream at Café Drøbak is very popular.
Tour facts:
How to get there: Bus or car to Drøbak center
Hike length: Optional
Local tip: Visit the only saltwater aquarium in Eastern Norway and explore the exciting underwater life of the Oslo Fjord. The Christmas House is also a popular stop for children!
Losby Gods is a great starting point for many trips in the summer; walking, jogging and cycling.
We would like to give you some suggestions for trips in Losby's deep forests and Østmarka's exciting nature. The suggested tours are mostly on forest roads or footpaths, the dotted lines show paths. These paths are blue-marked, and the number of km is indicated on the map.
The times estimated in the descriptions do not include time for stops/breaks, but only the time it takes to walk or cycle the route.
REMEMBER; Blue markings are summer trails. Red markings are cross country skiing trails for winter.
Over several centuries, Losby Gods has been the center for exciting excursions, activities and good food and drink for visiting guests. Feel free to take the opportunity to eat something good here before or after the trip.

If you want more food, grilled hamburgers and sausages are served after 12.00.

The trip to Kopperudtoppen, which is located in Hasleråsen, is suitable for everyone, and at the top you can enjoy the view both from the new tower that has been erected and take a break in the beautiful gapahuk.
Park at the old Hasler garden. The trip is about 3 km each way. You can also walk from Finstad by Løkenvangen, via paths from Nes or via blue markings on the light trail from Ullensaker nord.
Kopperudtoppen is the highest point in Ullensaker, 313 m above sea level, in the very north of the municipality, up to the border with Eidsvoll
Nipkollen is 544 meters above sea level in Nannestad municipality, at the top there is a view to the north and west. There is a blue-marked path right up to the top, it can be a bit far between the markings in some places. The first 2 km is a steady climb and you walk on a good path all the way.
To get there take the E16 towards Gardermoen and Hønefoss, take the exit towards Maura and drive through Maura and up towards Nordåsen, turn in at Rema1000 and Esso. After 1.5 km there is a roundabout (turning place for the bus), turn right at the roundabout where you will find a small car park at the top of Holkebylia. It might be a good tip to enter Kløvberget Terrasse on the GPS.
After parking, return to the roundabout and follow the road 50 m back down, the walk starts at the edge of the forest on the right. You see a sign for Nipkollen, which is in the forest next to the residential buildings there.
You won't regret the altitude gain when you reach the top, it pays off in the form of a fantastic view!
