The close trips

If you want a small and not too long walk among white houses and beautiful gardens, we have two choices for you. Both with the square as a starting point:

"The mountains in the east" is the name of the small cluster of houses on the hillside east of the square.
We recommend that you stroll away Niels Carlsens gate, until you see the church straight down to the left of you. Fifty meters more and you round to the right and take up Seimbakken. There you pass the property Dagbladet's newspaper cartoonist and humorist Fredrik Stabel lived, before you a little further up the hill, which is steep at the top, passes the beautiful garden and the house Colonel Eriksen once lived in. Now it is Eva Melquist who owns the house, and which has laid out perhaps Eastern Norway's most beautiful hydrangea garden on the property. A pleasure to visit when everything is in bloom.

Colonel Eriksen's house, with the most beautiful hydrangea garden in eastern Norway
Buggebakken in Drøbak, is one of Dræbak's most expensive slopes

The trip reminds you a bit of what the name Drøbak means, namely steep slopes.

The beautiful rectory property

Further up, you end up in the beautiful rectory property, which is now in municipal ownership, unless you just after the turn cut 90 degrees to the right and into Fjellveien. Here you can breathe out and see the entire Drøbaksundet below you. The small road meanders past small beautiful houses and gardens and after a few minutes you are back in the center again.
