Hire a car in Askim to make the most of this stunning town. It's interesting to visit the spectacular dams on the River Glomma - at some of them you can cross the dam, at other you can walk on special footpaths round the dam. There's more industrial interest at the old Roman nickel mines at Kykkelsrud on the outskirts of Askim. They are now open to the public for tours. It's a town bursting with sporting opportunities, including fishing on the Glomma and hiking in the trail network through the local woods. Sporting facilities in the town include a golf course and the Østfoldbadet waterpark complete with a wavepool - it's one of Norway's biggest and best.
