How to get here from abroad


The main airport is Gardermoen ("Oslo lufthavn"), north of Oslo. Trains are available going from the airport to the train station in Askim. From Askim take bus #640 in front of Askim station ("Askim stasjon") and get off in front of the town hall in Meieribyen ("Skiptvet Rådhus" or "Skiptvet sentrum"). Make sure to check the departure times for the bus between Askim and Skiptvet before travelling, as there is only a limited number of departures each day. There are no buses on Saturdays and Sundays. From there, there is a two kilometer walk to the monastery (see below).
