Get to Vippetangen ( buss nr. 60 ) leaves from outside Oslo Central Station near the big tower. Street is called Fred Olsens Gate – youll see it when you get there. It also says Vippetangen on the bus.

Nakholmen
Nakholmen is dominated by small private cabins. There are no public beaches here and no kidfriendly beach either. There are places to swim for youth and adults though. In the middle of the island there are green areas. It’s a grosseryshop open during summer and there are toilets.
Around Nakholmen, people says it’s a lot of fish so I often see people fish from this island.
The owner of the island is Statsbygg so it’s a free public areal.
