Lindeberget, Gampen, and Damvann out in Lier, which used to be part of Buskerud.

Gampen and Lindeberget are two dang good hiking spots, with Gampen bein' the tallest peak around. Up in the northwest part of Vestmarka, Lindeberget offers some mighty fine views and so do the surroundin' areas. There's plenty of trails and old roads, marked on Asker Skiklubb's Vestmark map from 2017, but hardly anyone uses 'em 'cause they're so far outta the way.

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 talkin' 'bout:

  1. The trails past Nedre Burås and Damefallet, calm down 'n' take it easy on the Lindeberg Kleiva trail.

  2. The Dæleveien trails past lower 'n' upper Dæleveibonn, 'n' the salty road past Gampen.

  3. The trail past Munken Jaremyrbonn 'n' Kveisebonn.

  4. The Seter Kleiva trail 'n' the trail past Toverud Setra Toverud Bonn.

  5. The Brenneng Kleiva trail.

Røstvet Mountain, Langmyra Nature Reserve, Nordfjord Cabin, Isi and Enli Nature Reserves!

  (The Lookout Point and Campsite, Røstvet Mountain) Røstvet Mountain In the pictures above, you see a magnificent viewpoint at Røstvet Mountain, just south of Langemyr and Hujonfjellet, and right above the Isi landfill in Bærum. So even though the picture gives the impression of being deep in the wildest wilderness, it's actually taken right near the most densely populated area of Bærum, namely my hometown, Rykkinn. So here you have a local treasure where it's perfect to pitch a tent - but watch out for the adder, which also thrives well in an idyllic and sunny spot like this. Below, you'll see the map that takes you up to Røstvet Mountain, and if you're lucky, you might even spot a lynx as they've been observed several times in the area.

Emma Hjorth, Ramsåsen loop through Tanum Jordbru.

Bilde
Up at Ramsåsen lookout point. It's like bein' at the top of Holmenkollen ski jump and Tryvann Tower—like you're in heaven! The hike heads to Emma Hjorth through Tokerud view to Tanum Church (famous for Alex Rosen's big embarrassment ). From there to Ringi Farm, known for its darn good exclusive apple cider and pick-your-own corn in beautiful countryside. Then on to Ringi Hill where the trail ain't marked and turns right from the blue-marked trail just past the cornfield at Ringi Farm, with some bee hives and an old rundown pasture. Up on Ringi Hill, there's a mighty fine view and a dang good nature reserve worth visitin'. Next, past Jordbru via an old stone hut used by Milorg during World War II, then up to Ramsåsen via Kantebakk, and possibly another Milorg cabin called Ramsåsstua. From there, head north to Skosliteren through Tjennhaugputten, and either Merradalen or Langås Cabin—also used by Milorg—and further on to Skosliteren and Peterskleiv. At Skoslit...
