Welcome to our child-friendly hands-on exhibition at Visitor Centre Wetland, Northern Øyeren, the largest inland delta in Northern Europe.
Our overall aim is to get children of all ages interested in nature, especially wetlands, and enjoy nature which in turn hopefully will turn them into guardians of our nature and contribute to its future protection.
Description of the centre
Our award-winning visitor centre is a 300 m2 building filled with exhibitions (lots of interactivity for children), a café and a small shop for the visitor. The main focus in the exhibitions is regional nature and wetlands. The wetland centre is open every weekend all year and also during some holidays and through the summertime. The centre lies on the threshold to one of the largest ramsar site in Norway and has a beautiful view into the Northern Europe’s largest inland delta. The visitor centre has beautiful surroundings and a walk path following the river through a nationally protected timber floating site (Fetsund Lenser). Our centre has approximately 25 000 visitors per year and around 3.000 children are joining our education programs each year.
We are open during weekend all year around
Saturday 12:00-16:00 and Sunday 11:00-16:00
Welcome!
Akershus is rich in hunting and fishing grounds. In terms of hunting, the region offers everything from tradional Norwegain elk hunting in densely forested border country to beaver trapping along the river Glomma. Glomma and Vorma rivers offer a variety of fishing opportunities and a broad range freshwater fish. The most popular species are pike, grayling and perch, while smaller tributaries and numerous tarns are wellstocked with trout. Using our large network of contacts, we at the “Utmark” department for Akershus and Østfold can put you in touch with specialists in providing hunting and fishing experiences and/or traditional accomodation. We can also assist in organising trips. For an overview of backwoods activities, accomodation, fishing guides, boat hire, maps etc., visit our wesite at http://www.bopalandet.no/ or http://www.fiskeland.no/
Since 1992, the Semsvannet lake and surrounding landscape has had the status of a protected landscape area. This is due to the animal and plant life, history and geology of the area. Prior to the year 2000, Semsvannet was also voted place of the millennium by the citizens of Asker. The walk around the lake is approx. 5.5 km. Here, you can walk, run or cycle. Semsvannet is also good for fishing, and there are also several great bathing spots.
Around the water you can see several well-preserved smallholdings, with pastures for farm animals and restaurants. Asker’s highest waterfall can also be seen on the walk around the lake.
NaKuHel is a gateway for recreational routes.
