Båntjern is a unique, picturesque tarn situated within Norway's Nordmarka region just south of the popular hill known as Vettakollen. Its name is derived from tales of the ghosts of unbaptized children left to die in the woods, lending it an eerie reputation. However, Båntjern is also a popular tourist spot, boasting a campsite and facilities like a barbeque area and tower for diving! A trail walk further west leads to breathtaking views of the Oslofjord and Bunnefjord – while southwest lies an old mine called Riis Skjerp. If you’re looking for a fun outdoor adventure, look no further than charismatic Båntjern!
