The surroundings of this authentic farmhouse in Presterud, Norway, will introduce you to the native culture, atmosphere and character of the Norwegian landscape. The monumental nature house has the authentic look from 1803, but has been completely modernized inside. To preserve the old, the tree trunks, from which the house was built, are still visible in the kitchen. The nature house, surrounded by a large grassland, stands in the middle of the forest. The only sound is of birds and the wind through the trees. Here it is quiet and full of nature. So from the nature house hiking, biking and fishing and in winter cross-country skiing, alpine skiing on Norefjell is all possible. As an extra, in the forest there is a double treehouse at your disposal. Presterud is located in the municipality of Modum and in Buskerud county. This province is a short distance from Oslo, Norway's capital, and near the ski and nature areas of Vikersund, Norefjell, Geilo and Hemsedal.

Nature and surroundings

Buskerud County is intersected from south to north by two well-known mountain valleys, Numedal and Hallingdal, and Eggedal in between. Those valleys stretch from Drammen and Kongsberg on the Oslofjord to the high mountains of Hardangervidda and Hallingskarvet in the north. Numa valley is known for its stave churches and barns. Hallingdal is promoted in Norway as Eventyrveien, "the road of adventure. The highest point in the county is Foleskarnut (1933 meters), which is located in the Hallingskarvet mountain range. Tyrifjorden and Krøderfjorden are the largest lakes. Oslo is 1 hour by car from Presterud. And with a longer drive you can see the Hardangerfjord across Lærdal.

    A very nice cozy house with very good beds. House is very neat and very clean. A nice wooden terrace around the house with lots of seating areas. The owners are very friendly and helpful. A beautiful route through the woods takes you to a cottage near a lake with a jetty. You can swim there and row in a rowboat in the summer. Our children enjoyed it at the lake! They also enjoyed themselves at the house with the games and toys. The goats outside are also very nice. In the surrounding area there are many activities to do! For us it was top!

    The cottage is easy to find with a navigation app. There are three bedrooms, with very good firm beds. The house is well insulated. The water from the tap is drinkable. Furthermore, it is ideal for a workcation: perfect, super stable and fast internet. Furthermore, all amenities are present: dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, gas bbq, TV with Apple TV, games (Monopoly in Norwegian, nice to know all the streets of Oslo). The house is surrounded by a wooden terrace, so you can enjoy the sun at any time. Around you, the green is greener greenest. It smells like forest and so is your view.

    The cottage is on Harry and Inga-Lill's land in Presterudveien, near Vikersund. The nearest supermarket is 15 minutes away by car. You really are away from the highway for a while. But not alone, around you are a few more cottages and farms. Yet it is deafeningly quiet. Only the bells of the cows and occasionally some birds. The forest is 2 min walk, there you can use a special app to follow beautiful hike routes. It takes some puzzling, but the forest is beautiful. I was with two teenagers and a child of 6. All three found it great and especially the route to the cottage by the lake they found beautiful. Bit exciting because of all the cows running loose that are very curious. But at the lake you can fish, swim, boat. Nearby are cross-country ski trails that are passable in summer. The ground is boggy, but a pair of sturdy shoes will get you there. Harry speaks Dutch and Inga-Lill speaks English, both are very helpful.
