Bjønnåsen, Mountain summit in Rælingen, Norway

Bjønnåsen rises 396 meters above sea level in Østmarka, featuring marked trails through forests and clearings that lead to the mountain peak.

The summit served as a strategic observation point in the 1600s, where local inhabitants would light bonfires to warn nearby communities of approaching threats.

During World War II, residents of Rælingen gathered at the summit to conduct a secret celebration of Norway's National Day on May 17th.

The ascent covers 1.8 kilometers with a 200-meter elevation gain, accessible via multiple trails starting from Blystadlia, Marikollen sports park, or Sandbekken.

A stone pyramid at the summit contains a time capsule from 1999 with drawings and texts from local students describing life in Rælingen.
