is a
County in
Norway , bordering
Hedmark ,
Oppland ,
Buskerud ,
Oslo and
Østfold . It has a short border with
Sweden (
Värmland ). Akershus is the second largest county in population after Oslo. The county is named after
Akershus Fortress . The county administration is in Oslo, which is not part of the county per se.
Akershus includes some of the lake
Mjøsa and some of the river
Glomma . Embracing numerous suburbs of Oslo, Akershus is one of the most densely populated areas in the country. The main national railway lines into Oslo run through Akershus with many junctions and stations such as Asker,
Sandvika , Ski and
Lillestrøm .
The county also includes the historical place Eidsvoll, 48 km north of Oslo, in which the National assembly voted the Norwegian constitution in 1814. South of Eidsvoll is the international airport of
Oslo Airport at Gardermoen. The estate of the crown prince is situated in Asker.
The county is conventionally divided into traditional districts. These are
Follo and
Romerike .
Asker and
Bærum are western exclaves of the county, which was the result of
Christiania 's separation from the rest of Akershus in 1842.
