A walk in Munch’s footsteps

There are many traces of Edvard Munch’s life story in Fredrikstad. The paternal side of his family can be traced back to Søren Munch, who worked at Isegran. On his mother’s side the Bjølsens were from Kråkerøy and Torsnes. Edvard Munch’s mother, Laura Cathrine Munch, and his aunt, Karen Bjølstad, were born in Storgaten 26. Munch’s parents were married in Glemmen Church and several branches of the Bjølstad family are buried in Old Glemmen Church.

Berry Picking in the Forest – Discover Nature’s Pantry

Berry Picking in the Forest – Discover Nature’s Pantry

Late summer and autumn transform the forests around Fredrikstad and Hvaler into a rich natural pantry filled with blueberries and lingonberries. Join Ut i det Fri on a relaxing guided berry-picking adventure through beautiful Norwegian woodland as we explore both well-known and hidden trails in search of the season’s best berries.

Along the way, your experienced guide will share local knowledge about edible berries, Norwegian outdoor traditions, and simple ways to make your own homemade jam over an open fire using the berries you’ve picked.

Ut i det Fri specializes in nature-based experiences with experienced guides in kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), coastal adventures, forest activities, and outdoor life.
