Lindeberget Gampen Damvann in Lier, formerly Buskerud

Bilde
Gampen and Lindeberget are two mighty fine spots for a good ol’ trek, with Gampen standin’ as the tallest peak in these parts. Tucked up in the northwestern stretch of Vestmarka, Lindeberget boasts some downright stunning views, along with the surrounding lands. The area’s got plenty of old trails and forgotten wagon roads, marked on Asker Skiklubb’s Vestmarka map from 2017—though hardly anybody sets foot on ‘em, seein’ as they’re way off the beaten path. Now, up around Gampen, Damvann, and Sørelva—the valley or creek flowin’ out north of Damvann—you’ll find yourself smack dab in the middle of some fine wilderness. And up on Gampen, well, you got yourself a whole mess of blueberry shrubs just waitin’ to be picked.

The area 'round Gampen, Damvann, and Sørelva—yeah, that valley or creek north of Damvann—is real wilderness country. Up on Gampen, there's lots of good blueberry bushes, too. Lindeberget and Gampen might remind ya of a neighborhood name in Oslo, not too far off, thinkin' of Lindebergveien right by Øvrevoll racetrack in Bærum. Speaking of racetracks, these trails are perfect for tearin' up on a mountain bike, and probably good for horseback ridin', too. So grab the handlebars of a real mountain bike or take the reins for a ride. And here's the list of all them trails I'm ...
