Providing for a refreshing escape into the Norwegian countryside, Losby Gods is some 300 years old. This fantastic destination was originally composed of three separate forest farms that had operated in the area since the early 18th-century. Known as Losby, West Mork, and Østmork, respectively, these mills were incredibly lucrative for hundreds of years. But the estate was eventually split apart during the 1980s, in which Losby was transformed into the Losby Gods estate. The location is now a beautiful vacation getaway that features its own golf facilities, tennis courts, and horseback-riding trails.
