Grefsen

Grefsen is a neighbourhood in the city of Oslo, Norway.

[1] Grefsen was a part of the municipality of Aker before the Second World War, later incorporated into Oslo.

[2] The Gjøvik Railway Line goes through the area, but Grefsen Station is actually located closer to the neighbourhood of Disen.

[3] The neighbourhood is named after the old farm Grefsen (Norse Grefsin, from Grefsvin).

The old farm had Akerselva as its western border, and the hillside/riverside down to the river is very steep.
