The top of Holmenkollen is sometimes called" the roof of Oslo", from here you can enjoy panoramic view over the Oslofjord and Oslo, at least in good weather.
Here you will also find the famous Holmenkollen ski jump and the Ski Museum, among Oslo's and Norway's top tourist attractions, within walking distance from our house. To the north, the area borders to the forest, so the hiking opportunities are excellent.
