Brannfjell, Mountain summit in Nordstrand district, Oslo, Norway

Brannfjell reaches 205 meters above sea level and features rich forest vegetation, including deciduous trees and marsh woodland on its western slopes.

During World War II, German forces established anti-aircraft positions at the base of the hill, and remnants of three cannon foundations from 1918 remain visible.

Between 1919 and 1925, nineteen cabins were constructed on the hillside for tuberculosis patients, now preserved as municipal cultural heritage sites.

The hill contains numerous hiking paths that lead to a water tower constructed in 1929, offering clear views extending to Gaustatoppen on cloudless days.

The pond Svarta within Brannfjell forest houses populations of large and small salamanders, along with common frogs and moor frogs.
