Smaller than Nøklevann, Uslrudvannet is likely to be warmer, and probably a better choice to go swimming if you have small children. Also a great fishing place.

Norway's number one restaurant. Order in advance, because the waiting list is long. Worth every of the 3000 kroners you pay for a full meal with wine. New nordic cuisine. Organic flavours.
