Kolsås
Kolsås (), sometimes called Kolsaas, is a hill in the municipality of Bærum, Norway. Geologically, Kolsås belongs to the Oslo Graben area. Its two peaks consist of hard rhomb porphyric lava covering softer rocks, forming steep cliffs to the east, south and west. The name An old farm beneath the mountain has the name ''Kolsberg''. The first element in this name is the genitive case of the old male name ''Kolr'', and the last element is ''berg'' n 'mountain'. The parish and municipality of Bærum (Old Norse ''Bergheimr'') is probably named after this prominent mountain. The last element in the name of the mountain was later changed to ''ås'' m 'mountain ridge' to distinguish it from the name of the farm. Protected landscape area The area from Kolsås to Dælivannet is a protected landscape area from 1978 (five square kilometers), with four nature reserves: ''Skotta'', ''Dalbo'', ''Kolsåsstupene'' and ''Kolsåstoppen nature reserve''.

Akershus
Akershus () is a traditional region and current electoral district in Norway, with Oslo as its main city and traditional capital. It is named after the Akershus Fortress in Oslo. From the middle ages to 1919, Akershus was a fief and main county that included most of Eastern Norway, and from the 17th century until 2020, Akershus also had a more narrow meaning as a (sub) county that included most of the Greater Oslo Region. After 2020 the former county of Akershus was merged into Viken along with the former counties of Østfold and Buskerud. In 2022 the Storting voted to dissolve Viken and reestablish Akershus county. Originally Akershus was one of four main fiefs in Norway and included almost all of Eastern Norway. The original Akershus became a main county (''Stiftamt'' or ''Stift'') in 1662 and was sometimes also known as ''Christiania Stift''. It included several subcounties (''Amt'' or ''Underamt''); in 1682 its most central areas, consisting of modern Oslo and Akershus, be ...
