Wondering what to do, and where to go in Indre-Østfold? The possibilities are many, but here are our top options:
- Get pampered in Norway’s first holistic spa, Zen Resort, Rømskog, and make the most of the great location on the shores of Lake Vortungen. www.zenresort.no
- Take the hike to Linnekleppen, Scandinavia’s last manned firewatch tower – a cool day-walk in pretty scenery, and great views from the top of the tower.
- Explore the big inland forests and myriad lakes of Marker, Trømborg- and Rakkestadfjella. Here you can fish and swim in summer, pick mushrooms in the autumn, and go cross-country skiing come winter.
