Øverland, Bærum

[1] A bridge over it was mentioned as early as 1594 by Jens Nilssøn,[2] and it is considered a part of the so-called Pilgrim's Route.

[3] The river continues south through Haslum before turning southwest near Løkeberg, ultimately emptying into the lake Engervannet at Blommenholm.

Historic spellings of the name include Efraland and Øfraland, used around the fourteenth century,[5] as well as Offuerlandt (1578), Øffueland (1594) and Øffverland (1723).

[5] Limestone burning is an old characteristic of Bærum municipality, and a lime kiln is the inspiration for its coat of arms.

The bus station is located on the Norwegian National Road 168, which runs south of Øverland farm and arboretum.
