Do you like hiking?
Mistberget is a peak in Eidsvoll municipality , located 663 meters above sea level . Although it´s only 663 meters , the view from the top is one of the finest views in the OsloRegion.
The road up is not long , about 3 km walk from the meeting point parking space at Oppsaleng – but it is recommend to wear good shoes and bring you some water – because it is a demanding hike.
At the top it stands a 16 -meter high old fire watch tower , and from this you can see over large parts of Romerike and into the neighboring counties.
