Telemarkslunden is located on a protected nature reserve of old oak trees and beech forest. In spring, the forest is filled with a sea of windflowers, and the birds that fill the air with song. It is clear that people also appreciated Telemarkslunden. Here there are 10 burial mounds and a stone circle from the Iron Age. The stone circle consists of 15 erected stones. Here there are signs with information, as well as a bench with a view over the Oslo fjord, where you can take a well deserved rest.
