Did you know that the church used a hole in the wall as a mailbox. Or that half of Enebakk used to be underwater?

When the eight graders Malin Høiland, Henny Braathen Munch and Synne Marie Bjerke-Hansen came walking along Ignaveien, from Børter electrical utility and on their way through the forest to the Engerholm homestead, it was with new lessons about Enebakk history.

A giant step - We learned history from books, but we think that today's students actually find it quite boring. That's why the Enebakk history club has taken a gigantic step. We have moved into the digital world; where you have been since the day you were born, says the leader of the Enebakk history club, Marit Busengdal.

This was a festive day for the history club. Gro Grinde has been the driving force behind getting this done locally in Enebakk, and the guests of honor, the students, were well looked after.

History is in printed material, the books, but young people are well integrated into the digital world, said Gro.

It's great that the history team has taken the lead in this. We have an exciting local history that can be made more visible.

This also gives teachers a good opportunity to showcase local history, said Olav Gjesdahl Weng, municipal manager for culture, upbringing and schools in the municipality.

What do you think you can disovrt on the walking tour here?

There is a very exciting history along the entire Igna and around the electrical utility.
