Yes, at least the Fredrikstad people think itself, with “Staysman” at the forefront in the hey gang.

He pumps the dice all the way up the ceiling, despite the fact that the people’s judgment so far is on a roll of three.

The locals think this is aaaaalt for low.

-A dice roll six city!

– Fredrikstad is the best summer town.

– The city gets six of me.

One of these statements is from juror Stian “Staysman” Thorbjørnsen.

And now as the juror job is over, we meet the artist in his hometown-where he is in no doubt:

– Of course I’m superinhabil, but if Fredrikstad doesn’t win this, I don’t understand anything, really.

See how “Staysman” recommended VG’s reporters to drink beer:

But not all of them cheer

For in the neighboring town Sarpsborg -Who is not among the nominees-draws VGTV profile and Sarping Jon Martin Henriksen on his shoulders.

He thinks the silence speaks for himself.

– Sarpsborg has the most beautiful archipelago. It’s just that we’re not as brave and self -shooting as those in Fredrikstad.

– We don’t need to shout as loud – we know our summer town holds goals.

From the cabin terrace, Henriksen looks towards Fredrikstad. And one thing can suddenly disturb the idyll:

– If I suddenly see “Staysman” in the binoculars.

Neighbors or family?

While VG is trying to find out what makes Fredrikstad a real summer town, the reporters feel that the frosts are particularly concerned about one thing – other than to Say no to vgs interview requests Say no to vgs interview requests🙁 on the street – namely:

And here we have to stop a little.

For one of the summer trump cards both women and men from Fredrikstad highlight are just “Beautiful Hvaler”.

As critical journalists, we must now ask the difficult questions.

– Is Hvaler part of Fredrikstad then?

– Yes, that’s it. After all, it’s just a little drive from here.

But should we let it go, then?

Okay, purely geographically, Hvaler is a short drive south of Fredrikstad.

But Hvaler is not in the same municipality as Fredrikstad – both have their own.

So then we have to ask the question:

Back on track

But the city has more to brag about than just the neighboring municipality of Hvaler!

VG visits a cozy and well -preserved old town, hears washed -out Østfolds dialect, taste the best city has to offer – and perhaps most importantly: Take a dip.

With the free ferry, the trip goes between the city’s highlights as a breeze. If you stand out on the boat you can also land with Glomma drops in your hair.

Despite the fact that VG’s reporter prefers the South Temp in the water, it should be said that the bathing temperature of around 23 degrees is highly affordable.
