We love bistro classics, but also love to surprise you from time to time by adding an unexpected twist. With us, the beer is always cold, and the wine list offers an inspiring journey around Europe. In a relaxed and stylish way.

Once you have reached all the slopes, you have only a few hundred meters down to the Emerald Mines – a perfect place to stop and have coffee and lunch – and perhaps look for the world's rarest gemstone.
On the way down to Minnesund right by the bridges you will find the Mjøs collections as well – here you can get the story of life and the boats on Lake Mjøsa.
To get down to Eidsvoll station you can take the shortest road, 11 km, on the west side of Vorma, via Trondheimsvegen and Eidsvollsvegen on National Bicycle Route 7. Choose the somewhat more hilly and longer road (Fv177), 14 km, on the east side of Vorma, you largely avoid the traffic noise from the E6.
Historic visit to the Eidsvolls building
On the way to the Eidsvoll building, you can choose to stop by Loftet gårdsbutikk which is located along Trondheimsvegen, take off to Hammerstadvegen and then take Hoelsvegen down to Loftet Gårdsbutikk – which was previously named one of the country's best farm shops – and if you have a little extra gunpowder left in the legs, there are also opportunities to turn to Eidsvoll 1814 to get a refill of the history that has shaped our democracy. You can also stop by Eidsvoll bygdetun on the way to Eidsvoll 1814.
If you need a night's sleep before you travel on because you want to experience more of what Eidsvoll has to offer, then take a night at Best Western Leto Arena so that you are ready for the next stage!
On the way back to Minnesund you can then take the trip via Eidsvoll Church, Wergelandshaugen, and read a little about the history of Eidsivating which celebrates 1000 years in 2022.
Then just cycle back to Minnesund – a tip is perhaps to take the west side road south on day 1 and then take the east side road back on day 2 – then you will experience both stretches!
Have a nice visit!

Everyone is welcome to play on the golf course. There is no requirement for a golf card and you do not need to be a member of a club.
The green is excitingly designed with undulating shapes. The artificial grass makes the ball course stable and predictable. If you plan the ball course well and execute the stroke with the right speed, you will put the ball straight into the hole.
The course is an excellent opportunity to practice your short shots before trying your hand at the big courses.
Great to combine with a stay in our cabins and other activities on site.
