O melhor de Osterdalen

Østerdalen Essentials

Østerdalen follows Norway’s longest river, the Glomma, through a landscape of dense pine forests and dramatic geological formations. This collection highlights the region's cultural and natural landmarks, including the medieval stone architecture of Ringsaker kirke and the 2.4-kilometer-long Jutulhogget canyon. Visitors can explore the heritage of rural Norway through preserved 1950s interiors at Glopheim Kafe, the megalithic Tolvsteinsringen stone circle, and the Norsk Elgsenter, which focuses on the ecology of the local moose population.
