FOLLO – THE OSLOFJORD REGION A REGION WITH TRADITIONS Follo' is thought to derive from 'Foldin', the old name for the wider reaches of the Oslo Fjord. Follo and Oslo have always had a close relationship with each other. Husvik near Drøbak was the natural market-place up until the twelfth century, when Oslo took its place. Drøbak later became the winter and transshipment harbour for Oslo. Hølen, Son, Hvitsten and Drøbak are all small coastal towns whose history as important trading ports is still very evident. The many discoveries of prehistoric hill forts, burial mounds and rock carvings in the areas cultivated during the Stone and Bronze Ages indicate that the Follo region has always been an attractive place to live in. Norway's largest collection of Stone Age dwellings and implements was discovered next to the Bunnefjord. These finds led to the identification of the Nøstvet culture, one of the three prehistoric cultures in Norway.

Facts about Follo Follo comprises 7 municipalities and represents the region just to the south of Oslo. With its proximity to the capital, it is a relatively well populated region with over 120,000 inhabitants, great variations of nature with the coast towards the Oslo fjord, lakes and large forest areas, in addition to towns and villages. The region has a well developed infrastructure with both the railway and the European highways E6 and E18 running through the heart of Follo. Land area: 771 km2.

Enebakk municipality Follo’s largest municipality, the forest municipality of Enebakk, stretches over 232 km2 and, with just over 10,000 inhabitants, is a municipality with room to spare. Enebakk is rich in both nature and culture. The splendid Enebakk church is from the Middle Ages. There are permanent exhibitions in the old town hall in Enebakk and several galleries that display works of art by local

artists. With its many large lakes, the municipality offers great opportunities for nature experiences and outdoor life.

Oppegård municipality With the newly opened Kolbotn Torg shopping centre and the Kolben cultural centre, Oppegård’s 24,000 inhabitants have received a new impetus to the cultural life of the municipality. In Oppegård municipality you will find architectural pearls such as the Ingierstrand outdoor baths or historical places like Uranienborg, Roald Amundsen’s home. During the winter, you can enjoy alpine and slalom skiing at Ingierkollen ski centre or maybe take the children for a visit to HurlumHeiHuset, the indoor play centre. The municipality covers an area of 37 km2.

Ski municipality Ski is Follo’s regional and commercial centre, offering Ski Storsenter (shopping centre) and various shops in the town centre. The municipality stretches over 166 km2 and has around 27,500 inhabitants, which makes Ski the most populated municipality. The municipality can offer a rich cultural life that ranges from local amateurs and a multiplex cinema in Ski, to nationally renowned artists who perform at the Rådhusteateret (town hall theatre). Ski is a municipality with its own cultural monitoring body.

Ås municipality The university town of Ås offers its visitors great cultural diversity. The municipality has more than 15,500 inhabitants who, in the main, can be found in the communities of Ås, Vinterbro and Nordby. UMB (Norwegian University of Life Sciences) plays a central role in Ås with its beautiful buildings, the neoclassical park facility and the Nordskogen botanical gardens. In Ås municipality you will also find the amusement park Tusenfryd, the Vinterbro shopping centre and Nøstvedtkulturen, which is one of Norway’s most important collections of Stone Age dwellings.

FOLLO – THE OSLOFJORD REGION

Nesodden municipality Nesodden, with its 17,000 inhabitants and an area of 61 km2, is situated on a peninsula with water on three sides. About 7,000 years ago, the first people settled at Nesodden. Nesodden church is from the Middle Ages, the oldest part being constructed in the 10th and 11th centuries. For several hundred years it was the only church in the diocese, which, at the time, also included Oppegård. There is a very active cultural life in Nesodden and there are many established, professional artists in the municipality. Many of these will be found in the future at the Sandvold centre of art and culture.

Frogn municipality With the old timber buildings in Drøbak, Oscarsborg and Santa’s post office, the town receives visitors from far and wide. You will also find Oslo fjord’s only saltwater aquarium. The municipality has nearly 15,000 inhabitants and covers an area of 85 km2. Drøbak is the place in Follo where you can browse among pleasant galleries and shops close to the fjord, or maybe take a round of golf. Regarding museums, Frogn can offer the Follo regional museum, AvisTegnernes Hus (Illustrator’s House), the Finsrud Gallery and its own, small lutefisk (dried codfish) museum.

Vestby municipality With the coastal towns of Son, Hølen and Hvitsten, Vestby, with its 14,000 inhabitants, has proud seafaring traditions in addition to extensive agriculture. Around the turn of the last century, Vestby’s coastline was popular among artists such as Edvard Munch, Theodor Kittelsen and the Christiania Bohemians

Hans Jæger and Oda Krogh. One of Norway’s largest shopping centres is planned to be built on the approach to Vestby, in addition to Scandinavia’s largest spa centre, which has opened in Son. Vestby is currently in a phase of expansive industrial and business development.

Artistic activity along the Oslofjord Riviera Son, Drøbak and Hvitsten first became known as artists' colonies in the mid-nineteenth century. Wellknown Norwegian painters and writers were attracted to the Follo coast by the beautiful scenery, the fjord and the light. Edward Munch found inspiration for several of his paintings in this coastal landscape. Sigrid Undset spent many of her summers in Vestby. Well-known artists still give Follo its distinctive character, but its towns are now more familiar as popular seaside resorts.

FOLLO – THE OSLOFJORD REGION SHOPPING IN FOLLO The Vinterbro and Ski shopping centres are situated just 5 minutes from each other and are visited annually by over 10 million shoppers. Together, the centres can offer 230 shops with many different types of products, so you will be bound to find something to suit every taste. Or how about a shopping trip to the tourist town of Drøbak? Here you will find galleries, small shops and, not least, Tregaardens Julehus (Tregaarden’s Christmas house).

HIKING & BIKING Cycle trips The best way of discovering the countryside and cultural monuments of Follo is from the seat of a bicycle. There are approx. 150 km of prepared and marked cycle routes, which means that there are many great opportunities for cycling along forest and village roads. Route 7 Cycle Route

Suggested walks The Coastal Heritage Path in Drøbak This trip comprises part of the old defensive works in the inner reaches of Oslo Fjord, and it commences at the Follo Museum near Seiersten Skanse (Seiersten Redoubt). The Coastal Heritage Path then continues past Veisving Battery down to the beach zone at Husvik in the northern part of Drøbak. A comprehensive guide showing walks in the centre of Drøbak can be obtained from the Drøbak Tourist Information Office. Nordskogen Arboretum Nordskogen at the Norwegian university of life sciences is one of the oldest arboreta in the country. The paths also lead to Syverud, another scenic attraction.

The Route 7 Cycle Route runs through Follo and for most of the way it follows the old King's Road to Halden. During the 18th century the King’s European Road followed ancient riding tracks, and the entire route is steeped in history and has a multitude of cultural monuments and other attractions The Cultural Route Several of the routes linked to the

Route 7 Cycle Route are signposted. One of these is a footpath and cycle path running alongside the Rv.152 road between Ås and Drøbak. The route is interspersed with attractions of local historical interest dating from Viking times and up until the present day, and it is equipped with drinking fountains and benches.

Syverud A path with information boards about both the natural and cultural history has been made, which takes you through a varied and interesting landscape.

WINTER & CHRISTMAS IN FOLLO A unanimous executive committee resolution, passed by the Frogn municipality in 1989, determined that the Norwegian 'Julenisse' was born in Drøbak - until proved otherwise! Every year the 'Julenisse' answers about 25,000 letters that pour in from around the world.

The Christmas decorations go up in Follo on the first day of Advent. A good way to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere is to go round the museums which arrange Christmas fairs. Every year on the second Sunday in December, there are preChristmas activities for children of all ages at Follo Museum. This is the time for making Christmas presents on the carpenter's bench, decorating gingerbread biscuits, dipping candles and much more. Drøbak is the only all-year Christmas town in Norway, with Tregaarden's Christmas House and the Christmas Nisse's post office.

Drøbak's generosity is also reflected in the gift of a Christmas tree to Berlin, which has been an annual event since 1990 and the reunification of Germany. Christmas tree is also sent to Osaka in Japan every year.
