Mariholtet
Mariholtet is a tourist cabin in Østmarka, a forested area on the eastern side of Oslo, Norway. The cabin is located on the west side of Nord-Elvåga Lake on the border between Oslo and Lørenskog municipalities. Mariholtet was originally part of the Ellingsrud fard, but was purchased by Aker municipality in 1917. The lands around Nord-Elvåga Lake were also purchased by Aker, so that the lake could be used as a drinking-water source. Mariholtet was inhabited until 1955. Mariholtet has a long history as a tourist cabin; as early as 1920 it was a popular destination for outdoors enthusiasts living in Oslo.
