Deøbak is a town and the centre of the municipality of Frogn , in Viken country in Norway. The city is located along the Oslofjord , and has 13,409 inhabitants.
Traditionally, Drøbak was the winter harbour of Norway's capital,Oslo , since in severe winters the fjord will freeze from outside Drøbak all the way up to Oslo. It had city status between 1842 and 1962, upon which point the municipality was merged into the rural municipality Frogn and lost its city status. The city status was regained by the municipality council on 13 February 2006. It was also decided that adjacent villages such as Heer would be included within the city.

Drøbak, Norway - City Tour & Drone, 4k
The Norwegian town of Drøbak is located at the narrowest point of the Oslo Fjord, in the Drøbaksundet strait.
It used to be a city of ferry crossings across the fjord, and now a little to the north under the city an underwater tunnel has been built. But the ships of the boat still depart from Drøbak today for exciting boat trips along the Oslofjord.
And our walk around the city begins from the central harbor of the city, where a leisurely and very summery atmosphere reigns. The boats have already been launched and are swaying comfortably, waiting for the next boat trip.
The houses around the harbor are decorated with maritime symbols, as the city has a very close relationship with the sea. Drøbak used to be famous for being the traditional winter harbor of the capital of Norway, Oslo. Indeed, in severe winters, the fjord was shackled by ice from Oslo to Drebak. And from 1800 to 1985, a pilot station was located in the city, since the ships going to Oslo from this place already needed pilotage.
At the end of the breakwater is a replica of an old coal lighthouse. And at the beginning, a monument to three mermaids was presented to the city by Ingeborg Lane, the owner of the Norwegian doll factory located in Drøbak and a resident of the city!
Also next to the harbor is a brown building of atypical architecture, this is the research marine station of the University of Oslo (Universitetets Marinbiologisk Feltstasjon) which was founded here in 1894.
We believe that an obligatory place to visit in the city of Drøbak is the aquarium. It is also located near the central harbor of the city. Here you can admire the marine life around the coast of Norway and the Oslofjord.
We have been to many aquariums, but we were the first to meet the fish of the Lumpagor species, it is also called the Sparrow Fish and this species of fish lives in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean and in the seas of the Arctic Ocean. She surprised us with the fact that she has a sucker on her stomach and dense skin instead of scales, and we also learned that Pinagoras do not have a swim bladder.
Even in the Drøbak aquarium lives a cute, but very predatory Hugo - Striped catfish. He is very fond of sea urchins for lunch and swims out of his hiding place to feast on them, it looks very spectacular!
And also, this is a rare aquarium where you can touch the underwater world not only figuratively, but also physically! Touching starfish, urchins, and hermit crab!
Leaving the aquarium, we continued our walk through the picturesque park along the coast, here is the Drøbak Church, the city beach, and the promenade to the ferry crossing to the island, where the Oscarsborg fortress is located.
The fortress is located on two islands. The first defensive structures to protect Oslo were erected here in 1644. But the fortress gained wide popularity due to the fact that on April 9, 1940, the German heavy cruiser Blücher was sunk from it. Now there is a museum here and it is a good place for a walk.
Drøbak city center has cute cafes, fountains, and shops. But there is something very unusual here! Walking around the city you will notice road signs with a Christmas gnome - Julenisse. And next to the main square of the city is the Christmas House (Tregaardens Julehus). This is not only a year-round Christmas decoration shop, but also a Santa Claus post office. After all, all mail addressed to Santa Claus in Norway ends up here. You can also send a letter from here with the official Posten stamp in the form of Santa Claus.
In general, around the city of Drøbak, there is everything you need for a holiday for every taste, wide golf courses, secluded and at the same time well-equipped sandy beaches, as well as rocky shores from which you can admire the wonderful panorama of the Oslofjord!
After a day spent in the city, I would like to say that Drøbak is a real hidden gem of the Oslofjord, a peaceful and unhurried mood reigns here, and white well-groomed houses with bright flowers in the yards perfectly immerse you in the feeling of a fairy tale.
And with this video, we invite you to spend one summer day in Drøbak with us. And also admire the views of this wonderful seaside town from a bird's eye view!
We really hope you enjoy the video! We tried our best! Feel free to ask your questions and write wishes in the comments, we are always pleased to read them!;)

VISIT A BEAUTIFUL TOWN DRØBAK / DRONE VIEW/ 4K / 30 MIN DRIVE FROM OSLO NORWAY.
Drøbak is a town and the centre of the municipality of Frogn, in Viken county, Norway. The city is located along the Oslofjord, and has 13,409 inhabitants.
Norway’s capital grew rapidly in the 1800s and many of the prosperous citizens began to look to Drøbak as an ideal seaside resort during the summer months. Steamboats landed the visitors in Drøbak, and their stay in the hotels and guesthouses lead to a growing local business. Drøbak’s close vicinity to the sea became again a source for development and income as it developed into a seaside resort with a spa and warm pools built in the Seaside Park near the town centre. Today’s Drøbak is still a popular swimming area with beaches, diving areas and the sloping rock faces for sunbathing. All for free!
Over the years many famous Norwegian artists and writers have drawn inspiration from Drøbak during visits to the area. Among these are the winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, Knut Hamsun, and poet Herman Wildenvey. Also to be mentioned are well known painters like Kristian Krogh, brothers Bergslien, Hans Fredrik Gude and Edvard Diriks – Edvard Munch’s cousin. In more modern times the artist Ferdinand Finne is probably the most famous. His saying “you will find your way as you wander along”, can easily be imagined as you explore Drøbak.
Drøbak is situated at the narrowest point of the Oslo fjord. From about the middle of the 1700s, it developed into a small town, supported by timber industry and shipping. The town obtained its own Trading Charter rights in 1842, prior to this it was controlled by Christiania (Oslo).

Gary Travels…Oslo Norway | Voyager of the Seas Part 3 | Plus a day trip to Drøbak
Part three of my series about my cruise around Denmark and Norway aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Voyager of the Seas.
And in this episode having explored Copenhagen and toured the ship we set sail on our cruise itinerary.
First port of call was Oslo, the capital city of Norway. As we had an overnight stay in port I could be more adventurous exploring, without worrying about missing the ship.
So I caught the bus to the town of Drøbak at the entrance to the inner Oslofjord.
Then after exploring it was back to Oslo where I did some sightseeing in the city, including the Norwegian Parliament and the Royal Palace.
On day two I went to the Munchmuseet to see two of their three versions of Edvard Munch's The Scream. They only display one each hour, and they change on the hour, so time your visit right and you can catch all of them.
I had the changing of the guard to watch at the Royal Palace, more funtional than ceremonial when the Royal Family are not in residence.
I had time to visit the Cathedral and Aherhus Fortress before we set sail from Oslo through the beautiful Oslofjord.

Drøbak!
Drøbak is situated at the narrowest point of the Oslo fjord. From about the middle of the 1700s, it developed into a small town, supported by timber industry and shipping. The town obtained its own Trading Charter rights in 1842, prior to this it was controlled by Christiania (Oslo). Drøbak was also used as an outer port for Christiania. In the days of sailing vessels, the inner parts of the Oslo fjord were often frozen during he winter months and ships were unable to reach the city. The water around Drøbak was open for most of the year.
Let us introduce little town with a big smile because Drøbak is also famous for its spectacular sunsets. Here you can relax beside the blue waters of the Oslo Fjord in an outdoor restaurant or in a boat in the harbour, and lift a glass towards the sun as it sets behind the forest clad hills in the west. Experience the white sails, the smell of the salt water and the gentle evening breeze. And maybe the chug of a fishing boat arriving with the day’s catch of mackerel. Dream a little – as this is a typical Drøbak summer atmosphere.
But, winter can also offer a special atmosphere with the frost smoke over the icy fjord waters, this time framed by the snow covered landscape. Illuminated passenger ferries and cargo ships slide by, so close you feel you can reach out and touch them. Beyond, the lighthouses and the floodlit Oscarsborg Fortress give a special atmosphere in the crisp winter darkness. This is the home of Santa Claus and his spirit hangs over the water, the forests and the little town.
Let us dream of days gone by, fun and adventure!
