Maps and lay-out of Fredrikstad fortress

Where it is? The fortress is located in southern Norway at the mouth of the Glomma River, not far from its confluence with the Skaggerak Strait.

You need to travel from Oslo by train in a southeasterly direction to the Swedish border in 50-55 minutes for only 260 kroons. You can also take the bus for about the same money, but it will be an hour longer trip.
