Jevnaker

Jevnaker is Hadeland’s creative fjord village - a municipality where glassblowers shape molten art, museums twist across rivers, and saunas float on lakes like cozy UFOs. With around 6,300 residents and a landscape shaped by Randsfjorden, pine forests, and industrial heritage, Jevnaker is the kind of place where you can walk through a sculpture park, swim in Norway’s largest floating waterpark, and still catch a concert in a glassworks café. It’s got sparkle, serenity, and a name that once meant “even field.”

Getting There

Jevnaker sits at the southern tip of Randsfjorden, about 1 hour northwest of Oslo. The Fv241 and E16 highways connect to Hønefoss and Gran, and buses run from Oslo, Gardermoen, and Gjøvik. The area is best explored by car, bike, or boots - especially if you’re chasing sculpture trails, sauna steam, or the shimmer of glass in the morning light.
