The church, which was completed in 1784, does justice to its name with its majestic location high above the timber buildings. The Directorate for Cultural Heritage regards the church as one of the ten most profiled churches in Norway. It is one of the country’s largest churches with seating for 1,600 people. The church has been newly opened after 2 years of extensive renovation and has now been restored to its former glory. « less

Benedictine monks built a monastery on the island very early in the 11th century, probably one of the first two monastries in Scandinavia. In 1658 it was converted into a prison and fortress, later becoming a customs house. Its most famous inmate was the Danish Count Peder Griffenfeld, who spent 18 years as a prisoner there. Today The Monks' Island is a popular recreational area, with a nice beach and a restaurant. « less

The most important function of the Regalia in times past was associated with coronations. The Norwegian Regalia are still in use and thus represent the country´s form of government as a more than thousand-year-old monarchy. During this period the position and authority of the sovereign has been legitimised and sanctioned in different ways. The Norwegian Constitution of 1814 determined that any Norwegian coronations from that time onward were to take place in Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim. This re-established the relationship to the sacred king´s burial church. The constitutional article about the coronation was annulled in 1908. « less

Forollhogna is often associated with impressive antlers and large reindeer. The reindeer bucks here are larger than no other place in Norway. That says something about how rich and viable this mountain region is for all other life. In the open and virtually unspoilt landscape, on the border between Hedmark and Sor-Trondelag counties, you'll find a rich variety of plants and animals. In the neighbouring valleys traditional mountain farming is thriving. Mountain villages and living summer farms in Forollhogna In the spring time farmers move their families and animals up to the mountain farms for ecologic production of milk and meat. They are surrounded by a breathtaking landscape. When visiting them, you may enjoy the healthy silence or take part in the work. These farms are many centuries old and are still in use, giving you fine opportunities to see traditional farming up close. At some of them, tasty traditional fare will heighten your enjoyment wild trout, sour cream porridge, curd and molske, or perhaps an exciting meal prepared from the season's choice ingredients. Activities all seasons At some of the mountain farms you may stay overnight and possible combine this with others activities like hiking, wildlife spotting, biking, photo safaris, horse riding, fishing or just pure relaxation! In wintertime activities like skiing in the outback, husky safaris, reindeer and horse sleigh rides, snowshoeing and history-telling will give you the perfect adventure holiday. When visiting Forollhogna we also recommend visiting the world heritage mining town Roros. How to get there? Train from Oslo, Hamar, Trondheim see www.nsb.no Roros Airport, www.rfly.no By car from (aprox. in time): Oslo - 4-4,5 hours Trondheim – 1,5-2,5 hours You don't need a 4x4 vehicle to visit. All open roads are well suited for normal cars. Some mountain roads are closed during winter, due to rich snow conditions! Visitors info There is no fees to enter the National Park and the surroundings. Only fee is local taxes for driving on private mountain roads (aprox. 30-50 NOK). There is also a national park centre in Kvikne (Tynset). « less
