Nannestad is Viken’s forest-framed airport neighbor - a municipality where Viking halls host feasts, ski trails wind through pine woods, and coltsfoot blooms on the coat of arms. With around 14,000 residents and a landscape shaped by the Hurdal plateau, Nannestad Church, and the villages of Maura, Holter, and Teigebyen, Nannestad is the kind of place where you can hike past suspension bridges, explore WWII forts, and still catch a cod burger beside a cultural center. It’s got heritage, highlands, and a name that may stem from Old Norse Nannastaðir - “Nanni’s homestead.”

Getting There

Nannestad lies just west of Oslo Airport Gardermoen, with the E6 highway and RV120 providing easy access. Buses serve Maura, Holter, Eltonåsen, and Teigebyen. The area is best explored by boots, bike, or bold curiosity - especially if you’re chasing Viking echoes, forest trails, or the hush of birch leaves beside a stone bridge.
