Fasilitet: Intended audience

Godthullia in Frogn-meetings

Just 40 minutes from the city center of Oslo you will find Godthullia with two newly built, gorgeous, and modern holiday homes. The property is in a quiet area and can offer a panoramic view of the Oslo Fjord. With walking distance to the pier and local beaches you have good opportunities for recreation and a nice swim.

Both houses are well suited for smaller board- and management gatherings where a quiet environment and unity are important settings.

 

The houses

From the hallway there is access to the living room / dining room / kitchen in an open solution, with extra good ceiling height and large windows that give the room a bright and good atmosphere. Here you can gather for nice meals with family and friends or use it as a meeting room for small groups. Exit from the living room on to a large, partially covered, terrace that extends along the entire front of the holiday home. Inside there are three good siced bedrooms and two modern, tiled bathrooms on the 1st floor. One bathroom is connected to the master bedroom, which is equipped with sliding doors and ceiling-high windows to the west and the fjord view.

There is Wi-Fi access and the possibility to charge an electric car.

Other things worth noting

Both Kolonial.no and Meny Drøbak Amfi offer food delivery at the door. If catering or cooking services are desired, Golf-restauranten.no can be recommended.

For the purchase of goods, the Vinterbro shopping center is suitable if you come driving from Oslo. Alternatively, Drøbak has a rich selection of shops.

Hvalstjern rundt

There are two route options: one is 9.4 km long and the shorter one is 7.9 km. The longer route is marked in green on the signs, and the shorter one is marked in red. On the signs, the routes are described as 10 km and 8 km respectively. This description covers the longer route. The shorter route is a good alternative if you prefer walking mostly on roads (a little bit easier hike)

From the Hvalstjern parking lot, the hike passes Hvalstjern beach and continues along a road for about 1.5 km. Then, turn right onto a trail—it is well signposted. Abbortjern is a picturesque pond along the trail. Near Tretysjøhytta, there is a small lean-to shelter. It is recommended to take a break here as the view over Breidsjøen and the surrounding area is beautiful.

Please note that about halfway through the hike, there is a short section where logging has taken place. It may be difficult to spot the trail here. If you are unsure of the path, it’s a good idea to use the GPS track available in the Ti på topp app to ensure you stay on the right trail.

The route goes through open forest and along the edges of marshlands. There are many wooden walkways (klopper) laid out to improve accessibility.

Kjærringtjern lies right next to the trail, as well as an old timber cabin named Skogheim. The trail then continues over Poståsen and back to Hvalstjern parking.

This is a varied and scenic loop with some sections involving steep climbs.
