Moss: Bobilplass

The landscape around Moss is defined by the sheltered waters and low, wooded shores of the Oslofjord, which have shaped both the town’s compact form and its maritime-industrial economy. Mossesundet runs beside the centre, while the Jeløy peninsula extends north along the fjord, with beaches, woodland and coastal paths. In 1814, the Convention of Moss was signed here, helping to end the short war between Norway and Sweden. Moss also hosts the Nordic contemporary-art biennial Momentum at Galleri F 15 on Jeløy.

Østfold is best known within Norway for Fredrikstad’s fortified Old Town, founded in 1567 by King Frederick II. This southeastern region follows the lower Glomma River towards its meeting with the Oslofjord, combining river towns, farmland and an island-dotted coast. Sarpsborg, founded in 1016, is among Norway’s oldest towns and remains closely linked to the river. Offshore, the Hvaler archipelago is home to Norway’s first marine national park, established in 2009.

Norway has served as a seafaring link between the North Atlantic and northern Europe since the Viking Age. Its long coastline is cut by fjords, while the Lofoten archipelago rises sharply from the Norwegian Sea and the mountains of Jotunheimen include Galdhøpiggen, Norway’s highest peak. Bergen’s Bryggen, the former Hanseatic wharf, recalls centuries of maritime trade. Farther north, Sámi culture remains an essential part of the country’s identity.
