Østerholtheia rasteplass sørgående

auto-translated: A beautiful rest area, located directly on the E18 but still offering great nature and tranquility. You can also spend the night here to rest, as long as you don't disturb anyone and leave enough space for everyone else. Toilets are available and are cleaned regularly.

auto-translated: Overnight stays are probably no longer desired here, the next day we discovered a sign on the side of the toilet block saying that you should rest here during the day and that rest areas are not intended for overnight stays, but it is not expressly forbidden.

The site is very nicely designed, with lots of bays, benches and is similar to a small park. You can also cross the bridge to get to the other side. During our stay, unfortunately, all toilets were closed in the direction of Oslo and in the direction of Kristiansand there was a very strong odour from the drain. There are plenty of rubbish bins available.

auto-translated: A beautiful parking lot with swimming lake also for small extra separated from the lake, overnight stay possible toilet is clean and garbage is cleared away several times a day or toilet cleaned. Shade trees and many bench table sets to eat. super fun I would like to have in Germany.
Very exemplary
