The #1 place in Oslo for serious Travel Bug exchanges.

The Jumpoff Bug Hotel welcomes travel bugs leaving or arriving in Norway. Conveniently located near one of Oslo's must-see attractions, a business visit to the hotel may be easily combined with sightseeing.

Important notes: The hotel is located safely within the security fence. Do not attempt to climb over or crawl under the fence while looking for the hotel entrance.
Also, beware of abundant geomuggles. It is suggested that you move away from the hiding place after grabbing the cache and do your logging and trading further north.

The owner of the nearest house has been informed of possible hunting in the area and voiced no objections, as long as visitors do not open his gate. Please do not enter his property.

A final thought: Some TBs have very specific goals in life. Add a note or a mission statement to your bug if this is the case. You cannot rely on random hotel visitors to know the destination of your bug.
Likewise, visitors are asked to think twice before grabbing a bug - you don't want to take it to the North Pole if it really wants Pangandaran, Indonesia.

Warning: The hint will tell you the exact location of the hotel.

September 11, 2008 by Mostly Moose (2036 found) It appears the hotel will close for renovations. Thanks to pjacklam for acting swiftly, saving the cache. Mostly Moose [view this log]

September 11, 2008 by pjacklam (2795 found) This cache is unavailable! Since I was in the area anyway, I climbed the fence to rescue the two caches "The Holmenkollen Jumpoff Bug Hotel" (GCG96A) and "Troll's view in Holmenkollen" (GCRTGD) before they were destroyed by forestry machines, bulldozers and dynamite.

September 9, 2008 by fränki (418 found) Finally we found a way in without a fence, so we still could log it. TFTC claudi&frank [view this log]
