Dinner reservations

Hvaler Resort cooperates with other food facilities on Hvaler. We have entered into cooperation with Lene Strøm and Øystein Elgheim at Hvaler Gjestgiveri, which is located a couple of minutes away from Hvaler Resort by car. Their seven dish dinner with a great selection of wines is an experience in itself.

”I no longer make menus. I make seven dishes every day from the products Hvaler has to offer. It has to be on the conditions of the Islands, a lot of fish and game dishes. We are living in the middle of it,” he says. The food is beautifully simple, and always an excellent experience.

Restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and shops are located a short walk from us.

Fishing and recreation.

Beautiful nature and only 200 meters from the ocean!

With a 15 foot open boat with a 40 Hp engine available (must be booked in advance), a large freezer of 72 litres in the apartment. You are well placed to catch much fish! Ocean fishing is free.

Some of Hvaler’s early history

Sigurd Slembe was raised at Guttorm (Guthormr) or Sådegyrd Bårdsson (Sáðagyrðr Bárðarson) in Trøndelag. When his father was killed in 1136, Sigurd was made king at Eyrating. At the same time, his brothers Inge and Magnus were made kings and co-rulers. Theyr armies united against Sigurd Slembe and his allies, the former king Magnus the blind. This was dominated the early part of the governing period of Sigurd. They were beaten in the battle on Hvaler in 1139. After this, a period of peace existed. You will still feel this peace when you arrive…

Culture

Østfold is rich with culture, which was created after the inland ice was removed for about 10.000-12.000 years ago. The county is especially rich with rock drawings from the Bronze Age and burial places from the Iron Age, and there are traces after people, who lived here about 10.000 years. Among the newer attractions are the Fredriksten fortress in Halden, where the Swedish king Karl 12. fell in 1718. The old town in Fredrikstad, which was founded in 1567, is the best saved fortress cities in the Nordic Countries.
