Ostereidet: Sports, Church and Local Cuisine

Ostereidet is located on the E39. The village centre is divided into two areas: the northeast has a school, kindergarten, sports area and church; the commercial centre is along the E39, about 1 km from the school area. This gives you two specific points of reference when planning: the northeastern area with the church and sports facilities, and the commercial centre by the road. If you are looking for hotels in Ostereidet, the best way to assess a specific address is to consider which of these areas is important for your reason for travelling.

Church and culture

Ostereidet Church was consecrated on 18 December 1988. Ostereidet Church is suitable for concerts and has its own sound system. This brings together a historical connection and a practical venue for music events. Concert arrangements may change; if you are planning to attend a concert, confirm the specific arrangements in advance.

Sports facilities and their seasons

The sports building in Ostereidet opened in 1975. It includes a 10 × 20-metre gym and a 12.5-metre-long swimming pool. For the swimming season beginning in 2026, Eikanger IL announced public swimming sessions on three days a week; the pool was to be closed during school holidays. For these announced public sessions, children under 12 also had to be accompanied by an adult, either poolside or in the water. Since this information relates to the 2026 season, confirm the current opening times with the organiser before planning a swim.

Other sports activities are also seasonal. Eikanger IL offers athletics training at Ostereidet sports ground during the outdoor season, from April to September/October. The sand volleyball court can be used in spring and autumn. The periods differ: the training has an outdoor season specified by month, while volleyball is listed for spring and autumn. If you are planning to travel for training, ask the club about the current participation requirements.

Running and local cuisine

On 27 September 2026, the Eikangerløpet was held in Ostereidet for the 47th time as a 5,000-metre track race. This specific date adds a fixed day in the 2026 calendar to the seasonal sports activities.

Ostereidet Kro is a restaurant and catering business on the E39 in Ostereidet. It serves traditional dishes and fresh baked goods from its own bakery. On Thursdays, the business serves homemade raspeballer with classic accompaniments. This gives the dish a specific day of the week, while fresh baked goods are another part of the offering. If you plan to stop by for raspeballer, check the weekly menu in advance; dishes and services may change.
