There is nothing here. No terminal, no runway, no control tower. But in 1988, the Norwegian parliament voted to build Oslo's new main airport right here, in the area around Mørkvann between Sætre and Klokkarstua.
It never happened. Weather surveys showed the site was prone to fog. Pilots and meteorologists protested, claiming the data had been manipulated. The engineer who raised the alarm fell to his death from a hotel window in Copenhagen in 1994. The circumstances were never explained, and all documents disappeared. Parliament reversed its decision and chose Gardermoen instead.
Had the airport been built here, the Hurum peninsula would look very different today. The full story is told in the Gardermoen POI.
