Østensjøvannet
Østensjøvannet () is a lake located in the Østensjø borough in Oslo, Norway. It is well known for the wide variety of birds and other wildlife that can be found there. It is currently a wildlife preserve, though urban development posed a serious threat to the lake and its environs during the 1980s and early 1990s. Etymology Østensjøvannet ("Østensjø lake") is named after the Østensjø farm (old Norse ''Austansjór''). The first element is ''austan'' 'east of', and the last element is ''sjór'' 'sea, lake'. The farm was situated on the lake's east side. The last element is the finite form of ''vann'' 'water; lake'. The meaning of the name is then 'the lake belonging to Østensjø'. Wildlife Østensjøvannet is well known for its birdlife, and over 200 different species of birds have been sighted at or near the lake, quite a significant number by Norwegian standards. Other wildlife is regularly sighted at the lake, but the variety of species is not much different fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
East End And West End Of Oslo
The East End and West End (, ) are used as names for the two parts of Oslo, Norway, formed by the economic and socially segregating separation line that has historically passed along the street Uelands gate. The Akerselva river is often seen as a boundary between west and east, but that can be misleading, as there are working-class neighbourhoods on both sides of the river. The West End was built in the 1840s, and had since the 17th century been a common land area, with the area behind the castle as an exit point. The East End grew around the new industry and along the passageways to the east. Around 1890, the division between east and west was prominent and most districts of the city were marked by class, either by working-class or bourgeois class. This division was reflected in architecture, but also in politics in that the Conservative Party and the Labour Party were, taken together, much more dominant than in other parts of Norway. The dialects have traditionally been quite ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Østmarka is a forested area to the east of Oslo and part of the congregation of woodland areas known as Oslomarka. The area is situated within the municipalities Oslo, Lørenskog, Rælingen, Ski and Enebakk. Østmarka is delimited to the west by populated areas of Oslo, to the north of communities of Skårer, Lørenskog and Rælingen and to the east by the lake Øyeren, to the south-east lies Enebakk and to the south-west Sørmarka, another forested area.
