Østerås

Oslomarka’s forested fringe defines the setting of Østerås — it gives this residential district in Bærum a green edge, while the Oslo Metro makes travel toward the capital part of everyday life. Østerås lies inland from the Oslofjord, in a municipality that extends from suburban neighbourhoods and wooded uplands to the fjord shore. The wooded hill of Kolsås rises to the southwest, a familiar landmark in Bærum’s local geography. Østerås station is the terminus of Metro Line 2, linking the area with central Oslo. At Høvikodden on the fjord, the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter is a leading contemporary-art institution. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Bærum and Oslo.

The terrain of Akershus ranges from cultivated lowlands beside the Oslofjord in the west to forested hills and river valleys in the east and north, giving the county both coastal and inland character. Encircling much of Oslo, it links the capital with farmland, woodland and growing towns. The Glomma, Norway’s longest river, runs along parts of Akershus’s eastern side. At Eidsvoll, the Norwegian Constitution was adopted in 1814, a defining moment in the country’s modern history. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Akershus.

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.
