Tour de Svartvann #7 - Gotland
Svartvann (Black Lake) is a freshwater lake in western Bærum, a few hundred meters northeast of Mikkelsbonn. The lake is encircled with hiking trails (blue-marked), cross-country skiing trails (red marked) and an unpaved private road. For geocaching, the area is ideal all year round, accessible also by bicycle and on foot.
Svartvann is relatively secluded and not easily visible from the trails due to thick vegetation.
From Vestmarksetra, Solli (Asker) and Skoglund (along E-16) the trails to Svartvann are easily accessible. The area is especially popular in the winter months for cross-country skiing enthusiasts and their families. The unpaved road is wide and well prepared, with tracks for both classic and freestyle XC skiing. And the trails often remain in good condition well past the Easter holiday.
The shortest route to Svartvann is from the Skoglund parking area, just off the E-16 north of Skui. A few kilometers from Skoglund, in an easy uphill climb, is the quaint tourist café, Mikkelsbonn, for many families the half-way point on their ski trip. Coffee, warm toddy, and cocoa is served, as well as raisin buns and chocolates in the winter season. (See geocache for Mikkelsbonn)
“Tour de Svartvann” is a family-friendly day trip, and geocaching along the route will provide a short rest-stop for both young and old alike.

GOTLAND
Gotland was a small farm in Vestmarka. It was cleared for use in the 1600's. The first residents were Finnish immigrants, and the last residents moved from Gotland in 1891. Remains of some of the cabins are still visible.
