I am trying to add a couple of popular hiking destinations near my hometown.
My problem is that these places for some reason are connected to the local office of a Norwegian organisation for outdoor life.
"Hoensetra" was an old summer farm now consisting of private cabins. Still this is a place open to the public.
Here's a Google maps 360 photo from the place: https://goo.gl/maps/sQgYXt5wtM72
The other place is called "Barbrokollen", a natural observation deck with beautiful view over the town.

Please try to search those two places and see that you end up in the center of Kongsberg 😞
It would make me very happy if someone could tell me how to get around this problem - or even better - get the places added. I don't care about the points for adding a place, I only want the information added to the maps.
I'm also having trouble with a third place, "Jondalsdammen" which is a small swimming lake (a category not existing in Norwegian!!!) and great picnic place and/or rest-stop. For some reason, I'm unable to add the place - and I've tried several times, using various categories. I believe the place is an essential addition to the map for tourists/travelers passing by since it is difficult to see from the road.

Again - if you're able to get the place added, or tell me how to do it, please HELP!

Hello,
No one will be able to add these for you, as a requirement for adding items to the map is that you have personal knowledge of them.
What we need to do is examine if they are permissible on the map, and if so how to add them.

When you say open to the public, do you mean you can walk through the area? Or do you mean that you can rent a cabin? If so, how do you rent them?

From what I see in your photo, it is just a good viewing point. Is there anything official about it, such as signage?

Water features are not publicly editable, but rather Google has a specalized team for water. If "Jondalsdammen" is the name of the lake then please use "Other Feedback" on desktop or "App feedback" on mobile to ask that the name be added to the lake.
Due to the volume I receive, I do not respond to unsolicited private messages
