Baneheia, Nature area in Kristiansand Municipality, Norway.

The recreational space features forest paths, hiking trails, and two lakes located just north of Kristiansand's central district, Kvadraturen.

General Joseph Frantz Oscar Wergeland directed soldiers from the local garrison to transform this land into a recreational area during the 1870s and 1880s.

The land was granted to Kristiansand citizens by King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway in 1641 for public recreational purposes.

The area provides year-round activities with illuminated paths for walking and jogging, plus designated trails designed for wheelchair accessibility.

Lake Stampe within Baneheia offers swimming facilities with small beaches and favorable water temperatures during summer months.
