Ullensaker is Akershus’s jet-framed heritage basin - a municipality where Viking mounds rise from farmland, aircraft museums hum beside pine forests, and three silver wings soar across the coat of arms. With around 40,000 residents and a landscape shaped by the Gardermoen Plateau, Glomma River, and the towns of Jessheim, Kløfta, Nordkisa, and Mogreina, Ullensaker is the kind of place where you can hike past war memorials, explore aviation history, and still sip spruce tea beside a lake that mirrors the sky. It’s got speed, soil, and a name that may stem from Ullr - the Norse god of archery and winter.

Where to Stay in Ullensaker
Getting There
Ullensaker lies northeast of Oslo, with Jessheim as its administrative center and Gardermoen as Norway’s main airport. The area is best explored by boots, bike, or bold curiosity - especially if you’re chasing jet echoes, burial lore, or the hush of pine needles beside a lake shaped like a runway.
