Travel info
We advise players flying to Oslo to fly to Gardermoen airport and catch the bus from there to Hønefoss. There's a regular airport bus from Gardermoen to Hønefoss (and back) -- NOK 230 / 65 minutes each way -- called "Gardermobussen". The bus station in Hønefoss is located within walking distance of both Eikli school and the sports park.
Bus station -- Eikli school
Bus station -- Hønefoss Idrettspark
Just make sure that your plane ticket to Oslo goes to Gardermoen airport; the airport code is OSL. Some people buy a ticket to Oslo and end up at Torp airport instead of Gardermoen airport. That means a bus trip from Torp to Oslo and then switch buses to Hønefoss -- ca. 3 hours. So make sure to specify Gardermoen airport and check that the airport code on your plane ticket is OSL.
You can find the bus schedule by going to http://www.askeladden.net/ and clicking on the link "Gardermobussen". (The bus schedule is noted as valid until Sept. 1, 2010, but it is in fact valid throughout September.) The schedule is in Norwegian, but under the schedule you'll find some hints to help visitors who understand English. Below are a few more hints. If you have any questions, just send us an email.
