Jåterud: Hurdalsjøen
Hurdalsjøen straddles the municipal boundary between Hurdal and Eidsvoll in Akershus, and its elongated freshwater basin has drawn homes, farms and local roads to the wooded shoreline. The lake belongs to the Glomma drainage system and forms a central feature of the rural district north of Oslo. Forested hills and small pockets of settlement, rather than dense development, define its shores. Hurdal is also associated with Hurdal Verk, a glassworks founded in 1755 and a reminder of the area’s industrial past. Today, Hurdalsjøen is used for boating, fishing and recreation by the water, while its surrounding roads connect lakeside communities with the inland valleys of eastern Norway.
