The skatepark

Skaters and BMX riders are welcome to unfold in the skatepark with the official name Meeting Point (Treffpunktet) activity park (no one uses it, but can be useful when googling). Scooters and rollerskates can of course also be used.. The bowl, jumpbox, quarterpipe and the rest of the park, located on Seiersten, are open every day until 10 pm. Remember to wear your safety gear.

Other activities

The road network in Frogn is popular with cyclists, both hard-working exercisers and families who just want to go on a nice bike ride. There are many routes to choose from; we suggest you either start, end - or take a break - in Drøbak. It is important to fill up with new energy as well as remember to hydrate.Something fresh from the craft bakery, a coffee and/or a smoothie on the pier or in the Badeparken will turn the break into the highlight of the day. Yu can choose the route via the Nesoddtangen and take your bike on the boat over to Aker Brygge in Oslo.

 

Fishing

Along our coastline there are several popular, and some a little more secluded, rocky outcrops and beaches for rod fishing. Check if there are any signs or posters before throwing out your line. There are good fishing opportunities in some of the lakes in the forest as well. You may need fishing licenses.

 

Windsurfing and paddle board

Torkildstranda is the local Eldorado for windsurfers and paddlers of various categories. The place is well known for its easy access with a parking lot right next to the beach as well as perfect weather conditions when it comes to windsurfing.

 

Sailing and kayaking

Sailing, canoeing and water sports are popular hobbies in a town that, in the 19th century, was one of Norway's most important sailing destination. The sailboats can be found in the area at Vindfanger Bay, just north of Drøbak city center. If you want to paddle, we suggest you choose the historic Jacobineruta, named after the legendary widow who served her life by rowing people across the strait.

 

Walking and hiking

Go for a walk or a hike - Probably Norwegians favorite hobby.
