Oscarsborg Fortressl & Resort in Frogn Drobak Norway Overview Trail at Oscarsborg Fortress Overview
Oscarsborg Fortressl & Resort in Frogn |Drobak, Norway Overview | Welcome to the Fortress Trail at Oscarsborg Fortress | Oscarsborg is situated in the middle of the Drobak Straight. The stronghold played a key role during the german invasion of Norway in 1940. On April 9th guns and torpedoes hit the german battleship “Blücher”, which later sank further into the fjord. The german battle plan was disturbed, and the government avoided being captured by german forces. Today, Oscarsborg is a very interesting large-scale museum open to the public.Oscarsborg.flombelys.cropThe historical event of April 9th 1940 had its 75th anniversary in 2015. Oscarsborg Fortress happened to play an important part in norwegian war history, as the local commander Birger Eriksen took the personal decision to shoot at the incoming battle fleet. No orders had been given by confused and indecisive government or central military commanders. As the enemy came sneaking up the fjord in the very early morning dusk, unprepared personnel had to improvise the defense of the nation. The drama culminated with the sinking of Blücher and damage to other warships in the german fleet. Later on, the fortress surrendered after bombardment, and german threats of massive bombing of Oslo. But Oscarsborg had stopped the germans – for a while.What used to be a military stronghold that effectively kept enemy fleets out of the inner Oslo Fjord, is today a very interesting historical site open to the public. It is more than just a monument. The old castle provides a modern museum, and guided tours are available.

The narrows at Drøbak, called Drøbaksundet, is a natural point for the naval defence of Oslo, the capital of Norway. The first defences were constructed during the reign of Christian IV of Denmark and Norway and were ready in 1644. The fortifications were however not involved in battle during the Hannibal War.
After the war the fortifications were dismantled, and only resurrected for a short period during the 1814 war with Sweden.
Around 1830 the discussion started for a renewed fortification of the Drøbak Narrows and the first stage was ready in 1848, the next in 1853. The name of the fortress was given by royal resolution on 23 August 1855 after a visit by the Swedish-Norwegian King Oscar I.
By the end of the 19th century the art of war developed rapidly and the new fortress was soon obsolete. The tension was also growing between the two countries in the union and so the Norwegians decided to upgrade the fortress. From 1890 new improved German guns were installed, an underwater barrier was built in 1874–79,[3] and an underwater torpedo battery was constructed. The main armament was three 28 cm calibre guns manufactured by Krupp. There were also a number of guns with smaller calibres (15 cm and 57 mm) on the mainland. An underwater barrier went from the main islet of Kaholmen and south-west to Hurum on the western side of the fjord, thus making it impossible for large vessels to sail west of the fortress.
Periscope Rewind Oscarsborg Fortress
This is the fort that saved the Norwegian Royal Family and government in World War 2 by delaying a Nazi invasion force approaching Oslo by sea. The German cruiser Blucher was sunk by these guns and torpedos in April 1940, and the fortress remains as a memorial to the defiance of Norway against the Germans in the war. I took my kids there to learn more about the battle and the history.

5. Visnes Statue of Liberty
Take a look at this photo of lady liberty standing tall with all her might. She’s well known as a symbol of freedom, and has welcomed foreign immigrants into the United States. But hold on a minute! What’s she doing in Norway!? Turns out, Lady Liberty isn’t 100 percent American or French and is actually 100 percent Norwegian copper. The small town of Visnes was once home to a large deposit of copper during the construction of the statue of Liberty and this town is quite certain that the copper came from them! We asked lady liberty--- if this was true and she had no comment.
4. Norwegian Prisons
Norway is a country which is high on human rights, they’ve even banned walmart from their country due to questions about where they get their products. So it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that Norwegian Prisons are some of the best in the world! Some might even have more accommodations than luxury hotels! Here in this photo taken at Skien prison, you notice a private bathroom and shower to the right and a decent flat screen to the left, and really looks more like a dorm room than a prison cell. There’s even been a case, where an american was caught smuggling drugs in Norway and they refused to send him back the US, since they considered our prisons to be inhumane! Other amenities include, playstations, private gyms, internet access, and kitchens. Norway still doesn’t have a lot of crime and with only 5 million residents, they just don’t have a ton of people to lock up!
3. Urnes Stave Church
You might be thinking to yourself hey, what’s so strange and amazing about a church in Europe! We see those all the time! Well this isn’t just any old church in Europe, this is one of the first churchs actually built by the Vikings and unlike many churches in Europe you're accustomed to seeing like the Notre Dame, this one is made out of wood! It shows extremely detailed wooden carvings on the walls and throughout the doors. This is situated alongside a picturesque fjord and has been around since the 12 century AD.
2. Oscarsborg Fortress
Norse historay isn’t just limited to vikings, they also played an interesting role in world war II as were about to see. This is situated on two small islands and it’s well known for shooting down a heavy german cruiser in April of 1940. The Norwegian Fjords prove to be excellent places for placing naval ships, however the fort had outdated weaponry and Norway became under Nazi occupation the next month. You can still see parts of the torpedos that were once stored here and 28 cm guns that pointed east. Don’t forget to explore the underground bunkers made of reinforced concrete and the old barracks that were built in 1893
1.Pyramiden
The strangest place in Norway has to be the completely abandoned settlement of Pyramiden located on the Norwegian territory of Svalbard to the North! The soviet arctic ghost town was once prosperous due to large coal deposits in the area but now that the coal is gone since 1998, so are the people. However, Norway has been hoping to turn this into somewhat of a tourist attraction. Not being situated to far from the regional capital of Longyearbyen, it’s a quick hour ride by snowmobile or a few hours by dogsled. If you do decide to come here be sure to dress warm and try not to get too spooked out by all the abandoned things here!
