Finnemarka, Nature reserve and forest in Drammen Municipality, Norway

Finnemarka stretches from Drammenselva River to Tyrifjorden, containing more than one hundred fishing lakes within its 430 square kilometers of wilderness.

The forest area received its name following Finnish immigration in the 18th century, with traces of their settlements still visible throughout the region.

The region maintains strong connections to traditional Norwegian outdoor life through activities like skiing, hiking, and fishing across its extensive network of trails.

Visitors need fishing permits to access the numerous lakes, and the area provides marked paths for both summer hiking and winter cross-country skiing.

Lake Glitre, situated within Finnemarka, serves as the primary drinking water source for the entire Drammen Municipality population.
