About Nordmarka & Oslomarka
Welcome! Anything Nordmarka and Oslomarka in general goes here.
From Wikipedia:
Marka is the name of a part of Oslo, Norway, consisting of the mostly unpopulated wood-covered areas surrounding the city. It is not a borough of Oslo. Marka is a major recreational area for the population of Oslo, and development in the area is for the most part prohibited. Despite being used frequently by many citizens of Oslo, especially in weekends, the fauna of marka includes such species as lynx, beaver, moose and roe deer.
The population and agricultural areas of Marka are located mainly in two valleys, Sørkedalen and Maridalen.
The term Oslomarka is usually used for all the recreational areas around Oslo. Marka is the administrative name for the part of it that lies inside the city limits. Neighboring municipalities (most of which lie in Akershus) do not have the same kind of administrative division as Oslo, and thus do not have any separate administrative arrangement for their parts of the area.
Oslomarka is further divided into:
* Nordmarka
* Østmarka
* Vestmarka
* Sørmarka
* Lillomarka
Of these, Vestmarka and Sørmarka lie almost entirely outside the city limits.
PS It would be nice if you are mapping the photos, so we can see where in marka they're taken. Read more about adding photos to a map here:
