The Rondane path

The trail extends from Bjørvika in Oslo up through Nordmarka and Romeriksåsene to Nannestad. It passes on the north side of the main airport and skirts past Eidsvollsbygningen. The trail crosses the Vorma river south of Lake Mjøsa and extends over the Hedmarksvidda on the east side of Lake Mjøsa. It turns north just east of Lillehammer and rides the ridge on the east side of the Gudbrandsdalen. It enters the network of trails in Rondane at Gråhøgdbu and crosses Rondane from south to north. The trail ends at Hjerkinn on Dovre. Rondanestien is 460 km long, and there are accommodation options along the entire route.

Rondanestien stretches from fjord to mountain, over rocks and valleys. In some places, you walk through residential areas, while in others, you are alone in a damp stream valley or completely on the plateau. In other words, a variety of nature and cultural experiences.

In our area, there are a couple of stages:

Recommended day stage; Bekkestua-Kringledalen with an estimated time of 6.5 hours

Bekkestua – Kringledalen

From Bekkestua, you walk over Erpestadvangen and directly west to Storøyungen. The trail now runs directly north along the eastern shore of the lake. After about 5 km, the trail reaches Bjertnessjøen. At the northern end of the lake, it passes through Bjertnessetra and passes close to Rudskampen itself (585 m above sea level). If you have time, we highly recommend a trip to the top. It can offer incredible views of the Romeriksåsene. The trail continues over Mattismyra and further to the eastern end of Råbjørn. Here lies Råbjørnhytta idyllically by the water. A suitable day trip from Bekkestua and a good place to stay overnight. The route continues in an easterly direction, passing Nordbyvangen and Økrisetra. This is one of the rarely well-maintained mountain farms in Romeriksåsene. The scent of mountain farm life lingers in the walls, like the smell of resin on a winter evening. The trail now falls about one kilometer down to Losbyhytta before rising past Hokringlesetra again. At Jutulen, we have diverted the trail around the actual summit and down to an old Bronze Age cairn. See and be seen; the ancient Bronze Age kings wanted to be buried in places with a wide view, visible from a long distance away. In this way, they hoped to be remembered and respected for generations to come. The cairn on the east side of Jutulen is perhaps the largest in the area, over 20 meters in circumference. From the cairn, the trail steadily descends to Kringledalen, offering a new stage through the cultural landscape. For the brave, we recommend staying overnight in the forest edge – or contact Kringler Gjestegård!

Kringlerdalen-Nordmokorset

Estimated time 3 hours The Rondanestien now follows the road north towards Maura. There is a good bus connection further if you want to start or end here. There are also shops here for provisioning. The Rondanestien is marked through the center and further eastward, but you can also take a slightly more pleasant, smaller road eastward just south of the center, via Jælberg, and come up at Kopperudmoen. Then towards Nordmokorset. Now you enter the former military training areas Trandum and Sessvollmoen, with both trenches and tank tracks. The area is characterized by air traffic from Gardermoen, but it's great to take a break at the idyllic Sørmotjernet before continuing and crossing Dalslinna about 400 m east of Nordmokorset.

NOTE: Due to a lot of walking on the road through Nannestad and Eidsvoll, it is advisable to watch out for footwear.

Nordmokorset – Eidsvoll Church

fter walking the Rondanestien through Nannestad municipality, the trail enters Eidsvoll municipality.

After Nordmokorset, the trail goes into Bergermoen on Flatnervegen, then towards E6 which is crossed on a bridge. On the other side, through the settlement at Eidsvoll verk and onto the old Tronheimsvegen to Carsten Ankers veg and to Eidsvollsbygningen. If you want to stay overnight, Best Western Leto Arena is a good option a short distance from Eidsvoll Verk.

From Eidsvollsbygningen to Lysjøen at the Stange border, the Rondanestien and the Pilegrimsleden mostly follow the same route. If you are unsure about the markings, you can also follow the Pilegrimsleden. The Rondanestien now merges with the Pilegrimsleden and the Industrial Historical Trail, heading eastward and following the Andelva to Vengerfossen. Here, you continue up Myravegen. The Pilegrimsleden crosses Nygårdsvegen here and goes down the avenue to the middle Vengergården, where the trail goes left behind the barn and crosses the field and down to a bridge crossing the river Nessa. After the bridge, we continue up the hill and arrive at Dønnumskia. At the request of the landowner, we have had to change the signage for the Rondanestien so that it follows the road towards Dønnumskia, where it meets the Pilegrimsleden again.

After a long stretch of asphalt, you arrive at the Vegamot junction. Here, the Rondanestien goes right towards Eidsvoll center. We now follow Rv. 181 for about 400 meters and turn right from the main road, past Eidsvoll church, down Badebakken (hollow road). Here you will find Wergelandshaugen and Eidsivatinget.

If you continue down the hollow road, go under Rv. 181, and turn right. Here, after a short while, you take off from the footpath by the main road and to the left past Eidsvoll old station and the kneeling soldier (statue), over Sundbrua (Vorma) to Eidsvoll center.

From Eidsvoll center, you go up Sundgata to Vilberg school-Shell station on the right side, where you turn left up Tynsåkvegen. Follow this until you reach RV 177. If you want to stay overnight at Haug Pilgrimsrast, turn left here, about 200 meters. From the RV 177 junction, you follow straight across the junction, up Finnbråtavegen to the top. Then follow Gamle Gullverksveien down past what is now a BMX track and football field, but used to be a ski jump, Finnkollen. Past the cabin there and left onto the path. You come down to the forest road which you follow further into Hestdalen. This is a nice valley, and along the way, you come down to the water Fløyta. Here you can stop for a swim, and you can pitch your tent if you want. Further through Hestdalen, you eventually come down towards the village. The trail suddenly turns to the right and back into the forest. Continue north on the path and road between farms and houses, to Bodinsmia by Holt. Continue past Holtdammen, take off on a forest road to the left and along Holtåa to Nord-Fløyta (swimming area), further to the road that goes to Gullverket. The trail continues on the gravel road to the right a bit before turning left towards Dorrsvangen. Further past Lysjøhimet to Lysjøen.

Just before Eidsvoll center, the rectory is located up by the church. They accept pilgrims for overnight stays here. Contact the church office in Eidsvoll to reserve a spot.

Above Eidsvoll center is the newly opened Haug Pilgrimsrast. Here, there are good opportunities to stay overnight in tents or in the furnished greenhouse, with beds and romantic surroundings. (see link)

At Minnesund, there are also options: Storenga camping is located on the east side of Vorma. You can walk there if you take a detour when you reach Holt.

At Nord-Fløyta, there is a private pilgrim hostel, Kveldsro. An idyllic place by the water. This is a suitable distance from Eidsvoll center / Haug Pilgrimsrast for a day's journey. See link

If you want to go further, you can continue to Sannfredstun Pilgrim Hostel up at Spetalen.

HAVE A GREAT TRIP!

The Pilgrim’s Route through Follo

The Pilgrim's Trail through Follo is an accessible hike that combines nature, history and the opportunity for peace and quiet, and is suitable for both experienced hikers and those who want day trips or shorter stages of a pilgrimage. The hike through Follo offers a mix of coastal nature, forests, along rivers and through agricultural landscapes past cultural and historical sites. There are many nice places for breaks with benches and information signs along the way.

The trail starts in the idyllic coastal town of Son, known for its well-preserved wooden houses and coastal culture. From here, the route heads north along the Såna through an undulating cultural landscape with agricultural fields, woodland and past several historical sites such as the Labo loading site. You pass Vestby Church, a red brick church in neo-Gothic style from 1886, which is a nice place for a break.

The trail continues on a gravel road in an open landscape to Ås, including through the beautiful park areas at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) and up to Ås Church. Follow the route down to Årungen and back up on Kongeveien at Nordby. In Nøstvetmarka there are traces of the old homesteads. We pass the golf course at Greverud and on towards Sofiemyr, where the trail follows the old road over Grønliåsen and into Oslo. At the top of the hill are burial mounds from the early Iron Age.

At the Oslo border, the trail continues into the city center, where it finally meets the Gudbrandsdalsleden at the ruins of St. Halvard's Cathedral in Gamlebyen. From Oslo you can continue towards Trondheim. Here you can choose a western route over Ringerike or an eastern route over Romerike.

The entire Borgleden from the Swedish border to Oslo is around 190 km long in total and is suitable for both day trips and longer hikes. For detailed map information and stage suggestions, accommodation and preparations, it is recommended to read more about Pilegrimsleden at https://www.pilegrimsleden.no/en/

Bokkedalen

Bokkedalen is Eidsvoll's most popular hiking destination, summer and winter.

Drive county road 181 from Sundet towards Fenstad/Vormsund. Just before the 50-zone ends, turn left into Åslettavegen. Then it is 700 meters to the Februa car park.

Bokkedalen is a well-known hiking destination in Eidsvoll. There are marked paths from all directions, cleared away trees and stumps that stand in the way. Bridges, surprises like trolls/gnomes along the way, yes this place is adventurous. Everything is done with diligence and you can walk on nice wooden bridges over the marsh until you get to a fantastic Gapahuk with a large barbecue area outside.

It is a relatively easy walk of about 2.5 km each way. The trip is on a good path and there is no steep climb up. Own winter trail with good markings.

Good trip!

Haveråsen

Haveråsen is a great hiking destination in Vestmarka in Asker & Bærum.

The tour starts at the Vestmarksetra car park. Pass the barrier at the bottom of the car park and turn left at the start of the ski slopes. Keep to the left when the trail paths divide, and follow the signs for Furuholmen (1.4 km).

The path is wide and marked all the way there. A slightly longer section at the start can be wet, but there are quite a few logs to walk on. After crossing a road, continue on the path to the left for the last 200 meters to the Furuholmen farm hut. Follow the road a little past the houses, before you soon turn off onto a path to the right. Here is the blue sign towards Haveråsen. Shortly after, you cross a new road, and follow a slightly narrower, blue-marked path to the right into the forest. From here all the way to the top is blue marked. It is a fairly gentle climb at the start, and after approx. After 1.5 km you come to an open space called Persbonn – where there is also a red cabin. Just under a kilometer from here, the climb starts, and it is quite steep for the last 800 meters up to the top.

Once up on Haveråsen 437 meters above sea level, you will find a great view of Oslo, the fjord and Vestmarka. It's nice to rest here.

The return trip can go the same way you came, or you can choose to make a round trip. In that case, continue over the top and continue down the blue-marked path. After about 1.3 km you come down to a dirt road. Here you also have a good view of the Great Sandungen. Follow the road slightly to the left, and continue left at the crossroads by a red house. The gravel road eventually turns into an asphalt road, which you follow back to Furuholmen. In total, this stretch on the road is 3 km, and it is also great for cycling. At Furuholmen, you follow the same path back to the car park as you came earlier. In total, the round trip is 10.5 km.

Good trip!

Walks around Drøbak: The whisper of history, the rumble of war

Tour number 1

Time: Approx. 1 hour

On our first tour, we walk from the harbour, which was established early in the 1920’s, passing through «Fiskerkroken», between small wooden houses from 1700-1800’s. We now arrive at the market, the centre point of Drøbak, which was renewed by the world renowned architects, Snøhetta, in 1997. Life in the market square is often very active with everything from market stalls, charity lotteries (for home-made cakes, etc.) concerts and political meetings. Looking west, towards the fjord, to the left we can see Storgaten 1 (2), a Merchant house from 1800, which was a secondary school for many years and, prior to that, a hotel. It has been in the possession of ship owners, timber merchants and exporters of ice as well as the Consul for the Netherlands, Henry Parr Samuelsen.

Behind the tiny park with the statue of a fisherman catching the famous Drøbak cod is Tregaardens Julehus (3), this was originally a chapel, it is now the House of Christmas where the festive season of Christmas can be experienced all year round.

The next houses are «Julenissens postkontor» (4) (the post-office of Santa Claus) and the library (5). The library is built in the style of the late 1700s, with a rococo curve to the roofline and with a Louis XVI main door opening to the market place. Earlier, both buildings have been used as schools and prior to that they were the private homes of the town’s wealthy tradesmen together with their families and servants.

The large timber-merchant’s house on the right is a good example of how Drøbak was built; a centrally placed main house surrounded by smaller buildings for the labourers, the sawmill staff and the sea-farers. We know that in 1800 this property comprised several buildings. In addition to the main house there was an outhouse for the stable boys and there were stalls, pigsties and boatsheds, in all, some (12) buildings. Bankløkka, the large open area towards the church, was pasture and gardens belonging to the property. According to the people of Drøbak, Christian Magnus Falsen drafted the Norwegian Constitution in this house.
The two yellowish (ochre) coloured buildings towards the east, on either side of Torggata (Market Street), are both well-preserved merchants’ houses from 1700 (6).

Kirkegatan (Church Street) with its avenue of trees which, when they were cut down provoked a public outcry but fortunately they were re-planted again in 2013. The avenue leads to the town’s church, built in 1776 (7). The writing above the door informs us that the entire building was a gift from Niels Carlsen (a merchant and shipowner) and his wife, Martha Zachariasdatter. This is one of the only churches in Norway donated to a community by a husband and wife. The interior is very interesting. The altar board has the same motive as the altar board in Our Saviour’s Church in Oslo. A curiosity worth noting is that the church clock has only one hand.

A bust of Niels Carlsen is situated close-by, in the garden, by the path 8. Niels Carlsen (1734-1809) was a rich businessman and one of the country’s most powerful shipowners at the end of the 1700s. He owned a large part of the property along the seafront as well as the small islands where Oscarsborg fort is now situated. He was the district’s most powerful and important citizen and benefactor, and demonstrated this by, among other things, his donation of the church. The inscriptions over both the main door and the entrance to the north door tell us much about the spirit of the times. The Carlsen family grave is a plot raised above the other graves in the churchyard. By the church is an entrance to Badeparken (Bathing Park), an area of smooth rocks, paths and beaches for swimming and walking. In the park we can see the old bath-house from the time when there was a very active spa situated in the park. It was then possible to have a Roman bath or a mud bath and other beneficial water treatments. Here, as in other places along the coast, efforts were made to attract visitors and develop tourism at the time when sailing ships had to give way to steam-driven vessels and the timber trade and export of ice were no longer of the same importance.

In the middle of the park is a bust of Colonel Birger Eriksen (9). It was he who gave the order to open fire on the German cruiser, “Blucher” 9th April, 1940. The statue of the Colonel shows him gazing out across the fjord to his fortress from where the cruiser was sunk. This action helped to delay the German occupation of Norway by one whole day, making it possible for members of the government and the king himself to escape from Oslo and avoid being taken prisoner by the Germans.

Some small distance to the east of the church is a characteristic square, wooden building that was also a donation to the community from the Carlsen family (10). It is called ‘Drøbak Hospital,’ and a board over the main entrance (facing east) tells us of the donor’s intentions for the house (for the benefit of impoverished widows). This became the town’s first Old Peoples’ Home, but today it is used by the church and for Senior Citizen activities such as a canteen, a hairdresser, a chiropodist and numerous hobby activities and contact personnel for senior citizens. Immediately to the south of the ‘hospital’ is yet another plank-boarded building from the 1800s (11). This house was the first school building in the district and was also a gift from the Carlsen family. Later, the building was used as an apothecary or chemist’s shop as can be seen from the building’s façade and from the wrought iron gate. In front of this gate there is a commemoration stone where the monogram of King Haakon VII and the year 1905 can be seen.

The tour continues north along Niels Carlsens Street, and we see a large manor house at the point where the road divides (12). This house was originally Drøbak Manor and Carlsen purchased it around 1750 and built on to it. There have been several other buildings in the area, amongst others, an outhouse. After Niels Carlsen`s time the building became the property of the Magistrate, Hans Petter Ellefsen. The building is still referred to as, “Skrivergården” and is today owned by The Salvation Army.

We follow the road to the right up along Sorenskriver Ellefsens Road where, at the top of the hill, we pass one of the present Homes for the Aged and Infirm, ‘Grande’ (13), a large red brick building situated on the left-hand side of the road. We turn left at the roundabout and walk down Hagenbakken. At the first junction we turn right and then walk down the steps of «Bentsebakken», towards «Sundbrygga». Here there is an excellent view of the Oscarsborg fortress (14). The fortress was instrumental in delaying the German invasion forces from reaching Oslo, an important event in Norway’s history. After this action, the cruiser, Blucher, finally sank at Askholmene which we can see further north in the middle of the ship’s channel towards Oslo.
Since the autumn of 2002 there is no longer any military activity at Oscarsborg. If you would like to visit the old fortress, it is possible to board the ferry from Sundbrygga.

We return to Husvikveien and turn right. The walls and the reddish-brown out-houses belonging to Ringgården obstruct our view of the main house from 1800 (15). The property comprises the main house, numerous outhouses, a park and a garden pavilion. This property together with the collection of smaller houses is another example of how village groups sprang up in Drøbak, the influential and wealthy citizen occupied the large house which was surrounded by the more modest buildings of ordinary working people.

Some few hundred metres further south along the road, opposite ‘Skrivergården’ is “Villa Parr” (16). Søren Parr owned the house from 1850 and he was one of the leading exporters of fresh water ice in blocks. Norwegian fresh water ice, was an important industry in this area from 1850 until the First World War (1914–18). The ice was shipped to Great Britain and Holland.
On the grass lawn that reaches down to the sea there used to be a row of several ice houses used for storage of ice. It is still possible to find some of the sailing ship mooring rings scattered throughout the area.
We walk down the hill to the right, and reach the public beach that continues all the way to the harbour. We pass Varmbadet (17) (Hot and cold baths), where mud baths and massage were also available as early as 1902. Nowadays the building is used all year as a gallery for art and others activities by The Old Drøbak Preservation Society and The Drøbak Art Society. Adjoining this building is the area that was used for swimming in the sea with separate bathing areas for men and women. Only a small section of the buildings still stand.

We continue past the ‘Park-Cafe’ and the Bathing Park amphi-theatre with its stage, used for entertainment during the summer. Staying on the path in the park and walking south over the rise in the hill we can see to the right, close to the sea, a large building in Swiss style; this is the Oslo University’s marine biological station (18), built in 1894.

We now come to the harbour. On the left hand side there is a collection of cement-faced buildings, which has previously been a boat-builder’s yard, an electrical power station, a chemical factory and a factory producing wallpaper. The buildings have now been converted into flats or apartments. The large wooden building facing the harbour was once one of the many residences occupied by the painter Christian Krohg when he lived in Drøbak. If we continue walking south we arrive at «Skipperstuen» (19) (The Captain’s Lounge) a popular restaurant, which is aptly named, as the house once belonged to a captain of sailing ships, Søren Hagbarth Haagensen. We continue south along the harbour and arrive back at the Tourist Information Office (1).

Hike around Øvredammen lake

Øvredammen is a local favorite for those who live in Drøbak and Frogn, this is a great lake where you can both swim and fish and spend the night at.

There are several entrances, but a popular starting point is at the Follo museum. Then you go up to Seiersten redoubt built 1898–1900 and further into the forest where there is a sign for Øvredammen. You can follow the path around the pond or walk a longer round "Seierstenmarka round".

The trip called "Seierstenmarka round" is 5.5 kilometers and defined as an easy hike.

Large parts of the path are also adapted for wheelchair users. This tour goes past the dammed ponds Kvernerdammen and Øvredammen. These were formerly Drøbak's water sources. Now the Kverner dam serves as an irrigation system for the golf course and a water reservoir for the DFI ski group's snow production. Øvredammen offers trout fishing in both summer and winter, as well as skating activities in winter. If you are going fishing, you can buy a fishing license at Sporten, Drøbak City. You continue between Gylteåsen cottage field and Øvredammen. Before you get to Høiås and Heer, you see the Speiderhytta on Harafjellet. The mountain is Seierstenmarka's highest point with its 151 m. You continue east until you hit the light trail at Brakadalen. Follow the light trail southwards. After three hundred meters you are in the artificial snow route of the DFI ski group. The entire pipe system is buried, so that it does not interfere visually.

To end the tour, continue south until you see the Follo museum again.

Seierstenmarka is full of hikers, trimmers and cyclists.

The forest is Frogn's most important local hiking area.
