Kontemplativ, insbesondere in den Morgenstunden, wenn die Menschenmassen, die Abgründe der Stromberger Burg noch nicht frequentieren. Die Umgebung der Mauer gilt es lohnenswert für Jedermann in der Region und darüber hinaus zu erkunden. Es lohnt sich in jedem Fall...

Used as a parking lot to start a bike tour from there. Good location. Directly at the A2 Oelde exit.

Royal Palace

The Royal Palace was built in the first half of the 19th century as the Norwegian residence of King Charles III, who also reigned as king of Sweden and otherwise resided there, and is the official residence of the present Norwegian monarch. The crown prince resides at Skaugum in Asker west of Oslo. The palace has 173 rooms.

Until the completion of the Royal Palace, Norwegian royalty resided in Paleet, the magnificent town house in Christiania that the wealthy merchant Bernt Anker bequeathed to the State in 1805 to be used as a royal residence. During the last years of the union with Denmark it was used by the viceroys of Norway, and in 1814 by the first king of independent Norway, Christian Frederick.
