Like walking? There is no shortage of places to explore in Østfold, but one of my all time favourite walks around here is the one going to Linnekleppen, northern Europe’s only remaining manned fire watchtower. From the starting point in the Marker municipality, 17km southeast of Rakkestad on Rv105, the walk is clearly marked, and takes about an hour each way. The panorama from the top of the 17m high tower is breathtaking, with forest stretching as far as the eye can see. Pack a picnic (there are picnic tables at the tower) and don’t forget your camera!
