Information
Not far from Asker Sentrum is the suburb known as Heggedal. Sorounded by mountains and wild forests, it is a paradise for climbers and nature-lovers. In these mountains you will find large pine's and holes in the ground, made by the polar ice. Large bears wander in these parts and there are daily observations of wolves.
The center of Heggedal is well know by the citizens of Scandinavia for its good clean air, the river Skithegga and the local pub (Rustad Meieri). There is also a good restaurant known as Gunstig. You will find a large library, containing all of the greatest litterary works of the world. The ancient school know as Hovedgården is also used as a loppemarked during the cold autumn months. This is a time you will experience polakker (manual-workers) riding in their old cars, collecting various goods.
The lake Gjellum is said to be extremely healthy, due to its mineral. In this lake you can relax and take a time of.
In the winter, the lake is made into a gigantic competition arena, where one can experience true Heggedalian tradition. The locals gather and bath in the ice cold and very clean water. The winters can be extremely cold during the winter months, and the storms are not unusual. A special drink is then made, to cure the pain and suffering caused by the cold. The drink is called Gardrikki.
The famous Heggedaldialect is spoken in this area.
