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.

More hikes and information can be found on the website of Bedriftsidretten, who provided this hiking suggestion.

Skreikampen in the summer

Skreikampen

Eidsvoll Municipality's peak (698 masl) is also the highest peak along Lake Mjøsa and offers magnificent views towards Hedemarken (Innlander), where you can see all the way to the mountains around Lillehammer, Østerdalen and Trysil. The top is also a favorite hiking destination in winter, with a cross-country ski trail all the way to the top in open and nice mountain forest.

The trip is well suited for cross-country skiing (when the trail is run up, check Feiring IL or the Ski Association's trail updates), mountain skiing, top touring skiing, snowshoeing and on foot if the summer trail from Øverbygda has been completed.

Our starting point, Øverbygda, is located in the far north of Feiring and in Eidsvoll municipality. Plot Øverbygda on the map, or follow the route description: Drive north on the E6 to the exit before Minnesund. Turn left at the first roundabout, onto Feiringvegen (Fv33) and over the bridge that crosses the E6. Drive straight ahead at the next two roundabouts and continue on Feiringvegen. Drive on Feiringvegen for 18.8 km. Then take Stubberudvegen, exit on the left side of the road. Here is the sign for Skreikampen. From the exit it is approx. 3.5 kilometers on gravel road (first Stubberudvegen, then Øverbygdvegen) to the car park on Øverbygdvegen.

We would encourage all our participants to pay attention to those who live in the area, both in terms of driving and parking.

From Øverbygda there are two alternative routes to the top, depending on the means of transport, but you can also find your own way through the forest if you wish, with a map / compass or a map app on your mobile (eg Bratt or Varsom regobs).

Route 1: cross-country skiing

The second option follows the cross-country ski trail that runs to the top of Feiring IL when there is enough snow. The trail follows up the forest road towards Skomakartjennet and turns off towards Skreikampen at St. Paulsgruve. The trail is scooter-driven and is best suited for classic skiing and skiing with short and long traps. To check the status of the trail, you can check the Ski Association's website or the mobile app iMarka.

Route 2: on foot / snowshoes

The shortest alternative follows the summer trail up through the forest, where there is often a path even in winter. This can be a good alternative for snowshoeing, on foot (if the trail is closed) or skis with long traps (randoneeski, telemarkski, mountain skis). The hiking trail departs from Øverbygdveien and is marked with both Ti on top signs and signs for Skreikampen.

The forest path is clearly marked in blue. In addition, there are signs in some places. Note that, after approx. 1 km, the sign is an alternative route to the top. This is signposted as «Skreikampen via Haralè". This route is about 1.5 km longer, and it is very steep and somewhat rough at the end, before the top. This is unsuitable winter time.

Tip: If you go with randoneeski / telemarkski it can also be fun with a detour to Langtjennåsen, where you can get 100 meters of fun skiing towards Holmtjennet
