Alnsjøen (also called Alunsjøen) is a lake in Lillomarka in Oslo, Norway. The lake is drained by the Alna River to the Oslofjord. The surrounding area was utilized for copper mining during the 18th century.[1][2] The lake functions as a minor water reservoir for the city of Oslo (the main water reservoir being the lake Maridalsvannet).
