The Hjellås Tower rewards you with a fantastic view, especially to the west and south. It is located on 238 m high Hjellsåsen, where one of two map measuring towers in Gaupesteinmarka could be climbed until the 1980s. Tårnlauget in Kråkstad Idrettslag has built a 12 meter high lookout tower that was officially opened on June 10, 2017. From Hjellsåstårnet there is a great view, and in good weather you see, among other things. Norefjell, Tryvannstårnet and large parts of Follo.
The starting point is the car park at Granerud Shooting Range in Kråkstad. Follow road signs to Plots from the roundabout at Ski shopping center, past Ski small airport over the large agricultural plains in Kråkstad. After 6.5 km from the Ski center, follow the side road Vientjernveien for just over 800 meters, also signposted Granerud Skytebane, to a large car park and with a barrier on.
Good hike!

Some great places for families with children are:
Haga Golf along Griniveien and Hagabråten on the Lijordet. In Lommedalen you meet like-minded people at the Bærum Golf Club and at the "Sukkertoppen" at the stadium in Eineåsen ski resort, while Evjebakken was voted as the roughest ground by Budstikka's readers a few years ago. Also popular are; Solli, Blakstadbakken, Dønskibakken and Føyka, which is centrally located at Asker Center with many nice cafes to warm up afterwards. A single plastic bag provides excellent slide if you do not have a slab, mat or sledge.
Remember to have something warm to sit on, an extra pair of mittens and something warm in the thermos.
Enjoy!
If you want to go fishing outside Follo, Fiskeland invites you to experience the world-class angling in the heart of Norway!
In Østfold and Akershus counties, located in the south-east part of Norway, a wonderful variety of fishing experiences await you, including pike fishing in the large lakes of the Halden river valley, fly-fishing for grayling in the lazy currents of the Vorma river, and fishing for hungry brown trout that crowd the many small and silent lakes that lay hidden in the pine forests of Østfold.
If you are a passionate fisherman, the chance to explore on your own is an important part of the fishing experience. Our website will give you excellent local information and all the details you need to plan the perfect fishing trip to our part of Norway. We’ve even included a special selection of ideally located cabins and houses for your stay.
These idyllic houses and cabins are available through our carefully developed network of local farmers and landowners – many of whom can trace their families back in this area for hundreds of years – who wish you a warm welcome to the shores of our quiet forest lakes, trout rivers and pike lakes. Even your fishing card can be arrange through your host!
