EventyrBrua is a turf zone in the municipality of Oslo in the region of Østlandet (Eastern Norway) in Norway and is counted as a bridge zone.
Location[edit]
This zone is placed on the bridge Ankerbrua that goes over the river Akerselva, in the district of Grünerløkka, in the city center of Oslo.
Ankerbrua[edit]
The bridge has been nicknamed the Fairytale Bridge (Eventyrbrua) due to its four sculptures, one in each corner. These sculptures were designed by Norwegian sculptor and artist, Dyre Vaa. Cast from bronze in 1937, each figure represents a different Norwegian folk hero from Norwegian Folktales.
The motifs are:
- White-Bear-King-Valemon (Kvitebjørn kong Valemon) - a king who was cursed to spend his days as a polar bear after he refused to marry a wicked witch.
- Per Gynt - a legendary deer hunter from Gudbrandsdalen.
- Katie Woodencloak (Kari Trestakk) - who escaped her evil stepmother on the back of a great blue ox.
- Veslefrikk med fela - a young man who gets three wishes from a troll.
