Sarabråten

Sarabråten is a recreational area near Lake Nøklevann in Oslo's Østmarka district. First mentioned in 1578 under the name Jørgensrud, the site belonged to the Heftye family for a long time before passing into the ownership of the City of Oslo in 1911. The grounds once held a ski jump. Today, the area invites visitors to explore the outdoors, and you can see two important memorials: a monument to Christian Dons, the founder of the Norwegian scouting movement, and a monument erected in 1946 that commemorates nine members of the resistance during World War II.
