Drengsrud in Asker – historic roads and cultural landscapes. At Drengsrud school there is a notice board with a map and description of the cultural path around Hogstadvannet lake. The path features a number of posters placed at historic locations. We recommend that you print out the map and description from the internet in order to get the most out of the walk. The paths are narrow and hilly in places. The path is therefore only suitable for walkers. The path goes through forest, along the water’s edge and along the outskirts of Asker golf course. During the golfing season, you should watch out for stray golf balls.
The walk features much idyllic, natural beauty, and is recommended for everyone with a good level of general fitness, including children.
For recreational routes: Nearest gateway Drengsrud school.

This winter we do have two trips which is possible to book already
One is for families with children, ages 8 to 17 – parents must be present.
The other is for adults.
Winter's tours are with a Norwegian-speaking guide. André Holm has been tracking foxes and other animals since he was 8 years old. He knows the Østmarka as well as the animals. Before the guided tour, he spends many days preparing and finding out where it is best to go. A wolf safari with André is something you will remember for the rest of your life.
Duration: The tour starts at approximately 0930 at Losby Gods. It is difficult to estimate when we are back at the estate, because suddenly we find a new track to follow. We usually return after 5-6 hours, but can also, by agreement, arrange a day trip of the desired length/duration.
Group size: Maximum eight people.
Everyone should bring an extra jumper/jacket in their bag for use during breaks. It is also nice if everyone brings a dry log of wood in their bag for the fire. André and the help guide provide food for everyone.
