Description

Kolsåstoppen (the Kolsås top) consists of two tops; the southern (Søndre Kolsås) and northern (Nordre Kolsås). The southern is the lowest, the most frequently visited, and offers the best views of Oslo. Nordre Kolsås is the only proper mountain of the two.
Søndre Kolsås is a popular mountain for climbing.
The whole area is also very interesting when it comes to geology; amongst others it is one of only three places on earth where one can find rhombus porphyry.
