(Translated by Google) On the way to the starting point you will regularly find signs "P Svartisen". When you get there, you find that the parking lot is closed and there are no boats. You can park on the street beforehand, but expect a few campers there. The path from the "parking lot" on the street to the boat launch is about 2km on a gravel road. From there it's about 4km along the lake and then another 3km to the tongue. We went there by bike, which is highly recommended for the route to the boat dock. There was/is a campsite at the boat launch that is closed. Everything looks pretty run down. Will it open again? The path along the lake is overgrown and extremely (!) muddy. You're more likely to wade than hike. We are by no means fans of tourist boats, but in hindsight we would have taken the boat (if it was running). Once you get to the end of the lake, the path becomes dry and rocky. You are in a beautiful glacier landscape with rushing water and a great glacial lake. There is a small shelter within sight of the tongue. Now anyone who has ever seen a glacier will be a little disappointed. It's still nice, but in my opinion not worth the effort and the terrible muddy path. You can trudge back again...

Wir waren mit dem Fahrrad dort, was für die Wegstrecke bis zum Bootsanleger sehr zu empfehlen ist. Am Bootsanleger war/ist ein Campingplatz der geschlossen hat. Sieht alles recht herunter gekommen aus. Ob der nochmal aufmacht? Der Weg am See entlang ist verwachsen und extrem (!) matschig. Man watet eher als man wandert. Wir sind beileibe keine Touriboot Fans, aber wir hätten im Nachhinein das Boot genommen (wenn es fahren würde). Am Ende des Sees angekommen wird der Weg trocken und felsig. Man befindet sich in einer schönen Gletscherlandschaft mit reißendem Wasser und einem tollen Gletschersee. In Sichtweite der Zunge befindet sich ein kleiner Unterstand. Nun wer schon einmal einen Gletscher gesehen hat, wird ein wenig enttäuscht sein. Es ist trotzdem schön, aber aus meiner Sicht den Aufwand und den fürchterlichen Matschweg nicht wert. Den darf man ja wieder zurück stapfen...

Gormley's massive statue is an eerie presence in the fjord at the Mo i Rana waterfront, with an ever changing aspect as the weather changes.

Easy walk from EV charging area near Kiwi supermarket.

Very cozy place, Havmann is a symbol of Mo I Rana, made of arctic granite.

A haunting Anthony Gormley statue looking out to sea from Mo I Rana. There’s a glass panel to allow for great views, with some Norwegian inscriptions. If you get here earlier in the day, there are some built in recliner sun loungers which would be great to catch some rays. There are other seating options too, should you need a driving break like us before heading to the Arctic Circle centre! @heightofeurope 🇬🇧> 🇳🇴 > 🇪🇸 There are no toilets nearby.

The Art of Arctic Circle | Mo I Rana

Nothing spectacular but when weather is nice this is a nice place to spend time. Sturdy concrete chairs to sit on.

Kind of creepy statue, but interesting to see. Easy to find. There is a nice promenade at the statue.

Watching the power of this wide cascade is impressive. You can walk down to the cliffs in front of the waterfall being smoked by water droplets, admire it from the restaurant terrace or see it from above to the left of the well stocked store. Fly fishing is going on and if you are lucky you can see a salmon mounting the salmon staircase.

The weather was not on our side so we did not go down to the bottom but the waterfall itself was impressive.

amazing spot! Definitely worth taking a look if you’re nearby.

Meh, if you pass by sure go and stop. If you have to go more then 5 minutes out of your way then don't bother. Yes to do see a small 'waterfall' but the 'path' down is not really a path and the view is not that great. Sure n interesting location to eat but no more then that.

Don't trust Google Maps and go to Laksforsen Turist Cafe where is also parking. Google Maps was navigatings us to closed road.

If you click on this spot on google maps you will be directed to a shitty road that leads to a closed off area with a crazy golden retriever, making it very hard to turn your car. Definitely click the tourist senter instead.

Such a beautiful place.

Great selection of local specialties

Super service 👍

It's a Monday so this may only apply to this day at this date. It was great to walk around and see the sights. But nothing was open to allow you inside and nobody was around anywhere in the form of staff. However the church was open with very helpful staff and it was very interesting to visit. The only bonus was the outside was free.

On a Monday it is not advisable to go. The exhibition was disappointing. I expected to see more artifacts, Replica's or real one's only thing was banners with the story. The buildings are nice but dull when you only can walk along them. Only church is open AND that is worth the visit.

Fantastic architecture Good local guide

Beautiful church and lots of places to explore

I recommend this place for everyone

Nice place to find out about Viking culture, kids like to feed animals and activities like shooting with bow and axe throwing.

Nice place for family with kids. God food, great service and actors. Includes good activities for everyone.

Beautiful & free to visit. We went outside of the opening hours and it was able to visit. It’s huge and it had some nice hikes, but the destinations of the walks are not really worth the walks. The restrooms are old and not well maintained, but still open outside of operation hours. Worth the visit!

Very special building. Mainly original with ongoing restoration. Easy to get lost due to the many ways you can walk and lots of stairs going everywhere.

Don't be discouraged by the inconspicuous access road up the mountain or the tight turns on the way. This is a must see historical sight, particularly for those interested in WW2 history. True to its name, this site is a fortress of significant size with a maze of tunnels.

Free parking, free museum and visit to the fortress, free toilets. It's fun to walk around the underground tunnels. The opening hours of the cafe are unknown - updated information is needed on site, on Facebook, on Google and on the website. Today the cafe was not open.

An interesting and unique place for military history and World war fans. This fortress carved out of the rocky mountain was a bunker back in the day. You can go through the tunnels and various rooms and observation posts. There is a free mini museum with minimal description of the events that happened here.

Great place to visit and wander around. Quite a bit of history and amazing how the Norwegians held out against the Germans. Heaps of parking as we visited on a Monday with our 7m Motorhome. Road was not too bad, keep an eye out for passing bays

We were on our way to Sweden annd passed the signs for the fortress. We thought "why not. Stretch our legs little." After a dirt road and a verry cool but steap uphill climb with our old campervan we reached the parking with a big sign "NO CAMPING". No problem. Let's have a look. 1st we went to a house which shows a short but clear history of when, why and how it was built, + who was there. Not only the Norwegian but also German and Sweedish armies. The exposition shows equipment, arms and uniforms of all sides. All information is Norwegian but there are booklets on stands with the main stories and information in English. After the museum there was another building which housed some nicely restored artillery, I believe for temporary storage, but we were free to have a look anyway. Than we went uphill to the actual fortress. It is really impressive. The size of it and the atmosphere you sence when you wondering through each room, stairway and corridor. You can climb up into the command towers via old rusty ladders. Climb granite stairs and walk around the turrets. You can also wander around outside along the walls and on top of the fortress. It's unbelievable thinking how it must have been, being there whilst the place was being besieged, shelled and bombed. You're allowed to go almost anywhere and all of this is amazingly free. It is all ran by volunteers and everything looks well kept after. What an absolute gem. Takk to all involved for making and keeping this site accessible for the public to see. I've never seen anything like it.

Well designed museum with interactive exhibitions about the Norwegian Music Culture. You can even create your own music in a “lab”, here more explanations how to use the Synthesizer would be important. Overall 100% worth to visite, free lockers are available, plan min. 2 hrs.

The highlights are at 6th and 4th floor. You can go thru the history of Norwegian Music from 50's to millenium era. There are also some unique genres here in the museum.

Intersting museum about Norwegian music. But for a metalhead on holiday in Norway, the real gift is a section about black metal. And this time a second gift: a temporary exhibition about origin of this subgenre. Generally speaking the museum has many interactive stations to access the material you're interested in. The workshop area is beautiful, you can create your own track by mixing instruments with stations that make everything easy. 1 or 2 hours well spent

Wonderful interactive experience. I enjoyed my 2 hours there but definitely need more to play with every exhibit.

Great place to learn about Norwegian music changing over the time!

An excellent museum full of interactive exhibits and various ways to engage and learn about Norwegian music. The English speaking tour was also worth doing at 11am - A 45min quick overview of music from the 50s to the present. There is also an opportunity to mix your own song as well and access it online. Aside from the ground floor ticket office and shop, the majority of the exhibit and cafe are located higher up in the building. Pretty much all the information was available in English and the museum was accessible and friendly. No queueing on a Sunday morning and plenty of space to explore. Very close to the cruise port, so a recommendation for those with a day in the city and no set excursions. Just be aware that it is easy to get lost in all the music and spend the whole day here. I really wish we had more interactive museums like this back in the UK... Would certainly make learning far more engaging!!

Saw this from the ship deck. Because of an excursion and an accident on that excursion, we never got to get any closer, but it looks fascinating.

Beautiful and historic place. Free entrance in the fort walls. You can be your own guide as there are QR codes scattered around the place that’ll open videos explaining more about the place. You have a beautiful viewpoint of the city and the fjord.

I visited a hot morning in mid July of 2025. The place was empty with the exception of a busload of Italian tourists with their guide. Everything was closed, including the cute little café and renovation work was going on in parts of the area. There i a beautiful view over the city of Trondheim and the fjord from the concrete walls downhill from the fortress. Parking is free for an hour which is largely enough time for the visit.

The views from the fortress are pretty spectacular. There are picnic tables, so you could bring a picnic lunch or snack and enjoy a picnic. The museum is free. They sell a limited amount of snacks and they do not accept credit cards - only cash or VIPs - which is the mobile wallet for Norway. The display in the museum is not that much. We hiked up the hill to the fortress on a very hot day. The cafe did not have cold water, but we were allowed to take a couple of the cups used for coffee and fill them from the taps in the bathrooms.

It's worth walking up the hill to the fortress for the view of trondheim you get there. There's also a small cafe and lots of outdoor sitting spaces in the park.

Impressive historic fort with well-maintained grounds and user friendly video information points.

Nice view up here to see the city … I went there around 19.00 on the nice weather day Free for entrance, there is car park for free 1 hr.

Nice spot for all round views of the city. Parking is free for the first hour. Castle has a museum with free entry but it closes early.

It has to be done, but be aware it is a tourist hot spot, so it can become crowded. That said, this time I visited, it was a warm sunny day. The previous time it was -18 degrees Celsius and very deep snow. Either way, you need to see it.

This is also called Old Town Bridge, a popular spot in the idyllic town of Trondheim in Norway. The town is compact, walkable to most places. This bridge is one of a few attractions, appx 7 min walk from the main cathedral, the view of two sides of the riverbank with colourful rows of houses, is postcard worthy. It is small and short but charming, with benches to rest your feet. There's a park on one side, with some benches and calm river water, a great place to relax, people watch, and for photo ops. Lots of tourists and locals on bicycle or skateboards around. A stroll along the bank is lovely and peaceful ✌️

The landmark of trondheim if you visit for the first time. The view is ok, a typical Nordic havn city. But I won’t recommend the restaurants there

Quite place to visit when there is no Cruise ship visiting port. Take nice colorful pictures and spent some time near small park.

Great find in the middle of Trondheim. Easy to get to, and very picturesque.

Nice place where you can see both sides of the city

Beautifull bridge and views

This is a good restaurant if you are into the fusion style fad. Good mixing of indian style dishes tailored towards norwegian taste buds, but if you are in for a real indian experience, there are better options

Very disappointed by this place ! We were in a group of 6 people — we got the food in different time, apart of that — we wait for food 1h , and the rest of our friends 1h45 mins Waitress every time told us that we need to wait , but in the end when I talked to the manager , we found that the kitchen simply forgot about us. So we wait extra time. Food is simple , the taste — nothing special. One reason to come to this restaurant — the view only . That’s it.

It is definitely one of the places I liked the most in Trondheim. The restaurant at the top of the tower is worth a visit. They offer an affordable buffet menu and also hot drinks for a very reasonable price considering the amazing views of the city and the fjords you get from there.

Very tasty and one of the best Indian restaurants in Norway, especially because of its ambience and detailed decor. Traditional meets modern. I loved the honoring of the Tantric Gods and Goddesses. I felt at home. In between Kali, Shiva and Durga. Not many restaurants in Scandinavia actually portrays the goddess it created a sacred atmosphere. They also honored tantric philosophy and eastern cultures with the blue/golden color on the walls. Food was delicious.

Great experience with the rotating diner. The Egon restaurants offer affordable dinner compared to Norwegian prices. In good Wetherspoon style you order at the bar from a set menu. Nothing exiting apart from the view.

Landmarks of Trondheim. Overlooking the city. It is a good place to enjoy the sunset and the fjord. At night you can see lights of various colors on the tower. The revolving restaurant is also great with a pizza buffet at noon. Evening is the best time to visit if the weather is good

What a lovely restaurant! Totally recommend the trip. The food is largely Indian, though with a quite modern interpretation. We shared the KOH I NOR Special and this is perfect for two. The drink of the house is quite sweet and "bubblegum'my" but the chili gives a nice kick towards the end. The Chakra beer is recommended.

Jewel of Trondheim. What a magnificent piece of architecture, blending and extending back to medieval era. Proudly standing after many renovations and total reformed as well. Must and first place of visit in Trondheim. I was lucky enough to sit and witness the aura of this marvel as being attendee as audience of a singing group. Summer is the best time to visit in my opinion as lot of activities taking place during. Guided tours are available. Wonderful coffee shop situated right next to it with lot of indoor and outdoor seating.

What an amazing cathedral! The guided tour was excellent. We had the treat of a free organ performance, so got to experience the fantastic acoustics. So many rich details and stories of all the architectural features. So much eye candy. The entire cathedral is like a book that could be studied for hours, days, months, and years. I loved the story of St Olav, the Eternal King, the stone mason (one of the photos locates the stone mason), the carvings by Vigeland (he also did some of the exterior gargoyles), the meaning behind each and every one of the works of art. Take a photo and then Google the image and see if you can learn a story about it. Buy the combo ticket so you can visit the crown jewels and the archbishop museum as well. The food in the cafe is quite good as well.

I've seen many famous cathedrals, while the exterior looks historical, there's not much anything that's special in the interior. Paying for the entrance fee for me was a waste of money. Stick to the photo op outside.

This is one of the oldest places in Trondheim. Architecture is magnificent whe the exterior gives an ancient historical feeling. Some parts of the outside have been standing there since almost a millennium.

Absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!! So majestic! I came to visit for 3 days in a row! Each day, I discovered new things!!! Only wish I had the time to make the pilgrimage walk from 10 miles out to earn my St. Olav Pilgrimage certificate. The carvings, stained glass, history, and incredible music (I was blessed to hear one of the organists practicing) were all magnificent!!! So many amazing details that need more time to explore and savor! Would love to visit again sometime soon!!! What a tremendous treasure!!!! Definitely a must see if traveling to Norway!!!!!

Amazing architecture worthy of a visit even for those not on a pilgrimage. Historic pieces and artefacts are incredible, particularly the preserved tombstones on display in the cathedral's crypt - located down an inconspicuous staircase on the southern side.

A ticketed cathedral - buy your tickets at the visitor centre next door. Beautiful building outside and in. Scandinavia’ biggest gothic building - it’s vast. The guides on duty are willing to answer questions and seemed to know their stuff. Inside there are lots of nooks and crannies to explore, with a history dating back over a thousand years. ♿️Not easy to access. An incredibly heavy door to open and no help. And inside much is on one level but all the nooks crannies, chapels and crypts are pretty difficult to access. Having said all that, it did feel more like a historical showpiece and tourist attraction than a living worshipping cathedral with very little evidence of services or help for those who wanted prayer or support.

A magnificent museum devoted to the exploration of copper in the Røros region starting in the 16 hundreds and going on till the late 1970's. The life of the workers in the harsh climate becomes evident, in particular since we visited a summer Saturday of July 2025 with 30 degrees in the shade. People from Røros flocked to the dam upstreams from the museum to swim. After having left the museum closing at 5 pm we noticed we had left the turner of grandma, 98, inside the closed museum. I managed to find one of the technicians, Åge Sandnes, who came back on his motor bike to save our day. Many thanks!!

If you like history. If you want to understand some of the underlying lines in old Norwegian sosial struktures. Understanding how much work that had to be done to manage to mine just one kilograme of Copper. And how many tons of wood that had to be cut....How many hours of laybour from humans and horses. Then this is a place to spend some hours in Røros. Nice guided tour can be bought.😃

One of the best museums I've ever been to. A lot of imagination has gone into making all the exhibits.

Great museum Suggest to first go to the olive mine and then visit the museum (follow the flow of the ore) The museum is situated in the former copper melter factory Gives good insight in the process, the history, the society and working conditions Especially the scale models are worth a visit on its own We watched the Norwegian version of the film, later we figured out that there is also an English version (displayed alternating) Recommended a visit Have fun

Very educative museum and area if you are into history.

Great small museum about the refining and mining process of copper as a cultural heritage of the town. Basement is the main museum whereas the second floor is whatever temporary exhibit they may host. You can also walk about the area outside where the slagg mountain is for free

Røros is a unique place to visit and the Smelthytta Museet contributes to it. The museum is a travel back to time, not very big. If you pass by and have time, visit it.

Give this church a miss. The entry fee 60NOK and opens at 11 am. The outer facade is pleasant enough. I love visiting old churches so went in with high hopes. Was very disappointed with the interior. It was very plain and nothing unique or notable.

Beautiful church. In July 2025 it was closed for construction.

60 kr nok for entry per adult. Children free. The church has three floors and is well maintained. Nothing spectacular but worth a visit to support the maintenance and see a bit of the cultural heritage of Røros. There is no line here. Try to figure out if there is a concert here. The sound is good here.

The recently renovated church is a gem, and the local guide was very knowledgeable. It is even possible to go upstairs and admire the beautiful interior from above. I also did not know that the church was used in the first general election in 1814. Lots to learn and admire here.

Nice experienced i had, very historic place and it's good to know about what had happened years and years ago, I like the audio..it was very helpful and accurate to narrate and tell directions. Nice experienced I had with my husband.

Overlooking the town stands Røros church, which replaced an older, smaller church in 1780, is built in stone, not a matter or course at that time in Norway and can seat 1,600 people which makes it one of the largest churches in Norway. Bergstadens Ziir" which literally means "the mining to Over the entrance to the church a sign says "Til Guds Ære og Bergstadens Ziir" which means "to God's Glory and the Mining Town’s beauty”. Bergstaden Røros had become wealthy and grown considerably, and there was no lack of self-esteem. Visit the church and visit one of two of the mines around town! Of course I was pleased to see that the modern (protestant) Church of Norway and its priests have no problem with gay weddings. Good on you!

(Norwegian: Røros kirke) is a parish church in Røros municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. Located in the town of Røros, it is the main church for the Røros parish which is part of the Gauldal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The church seats about 1,600 people, making it the 5th largest church within the Church of Norway. It is also ranked by Riksantikvaren as one of the ten most important churches in Norway. Worth to go. Join a guide tour for 1-1.5hr in Roros Museum kr.130 included the entrance ticket of this church.

Nice, but unfortunetelly everything was closed.

Nice small houses 8)

(Translated by Google) Nice, free, but you can only view the houses from the outside (Original) Leuk, gratis, maar je kan langs enkel la ge de buitenkant de huisjes bezichtigen

Big museum, full of artifacts, fantastic place outside to walk, take a brake, do whatever you please. Would recommend

Very informative and educating. The museum's exhibition design is very well done. I was impressed how much information was conveyed in a great variety.

A very nice museum covering the different aspects of forestry including hunting, fishing, etc. and the development / evolution in this sector over the years. The museum is ideally located next the river Glomma and beautiful surrounding. Week kept museum with very interesting indoor and outdoor exhibitions A fun and informative place about nature and culture for kids and adults. A very good restaurant on the premises. Worth the visit if you are around.

The collection of stuffed animals is impressive. The museum gives a huge amount of knowledge about everything that connects to forest: from nature to culture. Definitely a must see when you are around. I'd say 3 hours sightseeing should be enough. If there only were some nice souvenirs in the museum shop: I couldnt find anything special for gifts :/

amazing experience

Very nice and modern museum with a lot of different information about the forest of Norway and the animals. It is so big, that you can get lost.

Exelent museum to spend a few hours. In this museum you can find exibits about -forestry -wood industry -hunting -fishing -trapping -animals living in norway -plants in norway We had a good time in there. In the outside part of the museum is a big playground for children.

Nice park, suitable for all ages, and accessible for kids trolleys and wheelchairs. We enjoyed our time there it was so fun. They have restaurants inside. Parking is not free, costs around 95 NOK.

Super fun and lot to see for childrens. Our child is just above 100cm, but still he could enjoy most of the rides. You can easily spend whole day here. Lots of people so you have to queue some time on some of the rides.

Best park for kids! My datter has been her two time when she was 5 years old and now 7 years olds. There are many rides for kids between 90 - 110 cm with adults. She love car driving and they will get child drivers license. You can bring your own food to grill and pay for the grill kr 25,-. You can also borrow trillevogn for kr 50,-. The parking costs kr 75,- a day.

I would highly recommend this park for a day trip, particularly to families with younger children. Our four-year-old had an absolute blast. You should also put Reodor Helgen’s hyperaccelerator on your to-do list of rides – it’s worth waiting in line for! 😀

Had a wonderful visit for my son’s 8th birthday. It’s a bit of a faff via public transport (the route over the dam for the 142 bus is closed) but well worth the trip. Everything was in really good condition and thoughtfully organised. We were there on a quiet day and some of the rides had no queues - the staff very kindly let us stay on for a second time around. We brought our own lunches but grills and cafes seemed nice. The Energy Centre was particularly good.

Kid enjoyed very much!

Nice to experience, a good variety of activities for kids. Updated 12/07/22 The experience was almost OK. There was a mishap and i expected it to be handled way better for a Park that charges over 50dollars per person for entry. Expensive, period! There are actually not that many rides in this park for people over 140. Don't bring bigger kids here expecting them to be able to have the best of rides available. For some rides you cannot go on with sandals...Wear sneakers, too much to ask really, especially in the summer tbh Funny thing is, we did go on them (unknowingly) but no one said anything. You also have to pay extra to go climbing. Best to go to Tusenfryd or Liseberg in Gøteborg to be honest!

There are two ski jumping slopes. They were used in the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. Now they are in regular use, mostly in winter competitions and practice. In summer they have ski lifts that take you up for the views, and the views from the top are amazing. There's a small shop which has gifts and snacks. It's very close to the town of Lillehammer.

🥇 Lillehammer hosted the first “eco-friendly” Olympic Games in history During the 1994 Winter Olympics, Lillehammer became the first host city to focus heavily on environmental protection: • all venues were built to minimize damage to nature; • the Olympic Village used eco-friendly materials; • the city planted tens of thousands of trees to compensate for its environmental impact. That’s why the 1994 Games are often called “the most environmentally friendly Olympics ever.” 🌲🏔️

30 minutes on foot from the city center. Two ski jumps with 936 steps leading to the top. It’s worth going because the view of the Lillehammer area is stunning.

Definitely a place worth visiting in Lillehammer. Full of sports nostalgia and stunning views. From the town center there’s a long uphill walk to the spectator area, and from there about 900 steps to the top of the ski jump. In August 2025 the chairlifts were not operating. Descending the stairs is not recommended if you’re afraid of heights.

We didn’t know what to expect from visiting this site & was even going to skip it. Glad we didn’t, it was fascinating to see how steep & far the jumps went & it’s one hell of a climb to the top, but the views are worth it.

This is the Ski Jumping Arena of the 1994 Winter Olympics. We stopped here for a quick visit and enjoyed the view even without climbing to the top of the run. The lifts weren’t operating and we didn’t have enough time to climb up to the top of the run.

Same as my other review for the top viewpoint. Amazing and worth it!

Attended Lillehammer live on the grounds of the Olympic park and had a great time. Facilities are well maintained and plenty of parking out front. Not a lot of outside rain cover but otherwise a good time.

Great time at this venue get the chair_lift up and walk down

Very beautiful🌟💫 there are no words to describe🫶

Perfect

Okay

Ski Museum 🎿

Incredible

Fantastic afternoon of walking and discovering the area! You could spend hours here, so wear walking shoes! Even have a picnic or grab a meal in the cafe. The indoor exhibitions are just as great as the outside exhibitions. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Beautiful village but also a bunch of other random indoor museums inside. Its not as interactive as it could be, but still great to see. I didn't have kids with me but there seemed to be a few indoor play areas with toys and outdoor. Uneven walking around the edges on paths but big wide paths as well!

Possibly one of the best Museums I've ever been to. It's a large complex of multiple museums and open air exhibits spread over a vast area. It took me 5 hours just to rush through most of the stuff while skipping much.

Sprawling museum with a variety of exhibits, both indoor and outdoor. Reasonable admission price based on how much there is to see. Well maintained facility and grounds, helpful map provided on how to navigate.

Here’s the translation: ⸻ The museum itself is great! Interesting outdoor exhibits, but the opening hours policy is poor – from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. We didn’t manage to thoroughly see all three museums. In the end, we rushed through the Olympic one and didn’t have time to calmly buy souvenirs. Also, many outdoor objects were closed. All in all, good, but it could have been better. It gets crowded from 11 onwards because organized groups arrive as well.

Our group of 9 attended a wonderful guided tour of a historial Norwegian farm, which is smaller than a town but larger than a one family living area. The typical home includes a centrla fire area in a wooden structure. The schoolhousr is several school benches with long writing desks for students of all ages where they learned religion and reading. The central church is closed today. The excellent guide even gave us a school lesson on the small blackboards. As we headed to the interior museum, we passed by a gift shop with scarves, Norway souvenirs, journals with Norway decor, and of course, Trolls, trolls, and more Trolls. JaBaDaBaDo toys are 5% off. The inside museum shows the history of the resilent Norwegian throughout history. A special exhibit open until November highlights dance in Norway, including folk dances, swing dance, ballroom, tango, rap, hip hop with a don’t-be-shy interactive opportunity. The attention to historic events and their role in Norway’s path to a stronger nation. The years of German occupation, changing relations with other Scandinavian nations, and immirgation are summed up in displays and videos. All videos and signs are in Norwegian and many in English. Signs are legible and readble. The section that pays tribute to UNESCO sites is impressive with intention to preserve the world’s environment. Excellent museum that gives a memorable summary of Norway and Norwegians.

This is an amazing museum with well preserved buildings sharing the history of life in Norway. We only had time for The Rural Area and wished we were able to see the Town and Residential areas as well. But, it was incredible and beautiful. We even got to see inside the old buildings and how they were furnished. The grounds are beautiful. We learned how the museum was thought of and built as well as how people lived a very long time ago! The museum is over 100 years old!! This is a must-see while in Lillehammer and make sure you allow plenty of time to see the whole thing, including the Olympic Museum (included in your admission).

Hello. Please introduce a rule for pool visitors to wear swimming caps! It's very disgusting when women's hair floats in the pool! This same hair then clogs the filter in the pool, keep this in mind! And please heat the water in the large pool, such cold water makes it unbearable to swim!!! In a small pool the water is warm, but a huge number of people and children gather in a small pool because of this it becomes very crowded and the water quickly becomes dirty and cloudy! Please fix all this so that me and my family can feel comfortable and pleasant coming and relaxing in this place! We pay money and not small sums for entry, so we want comfort and clean, warm water in a large pool, and without women’s hair.

We have been on a two week football tour around Norway with 17 young lads. Everywhere we have been everyone has been so accommodating except this Ankerskogen. They refused to let us in despite prior agreement for our contact to pay. We even offered to pay over the phone but the girl working there was having none of it. We intended to purchase treatments and lunch there - they have lost out on business. Sort out your customer service e

It is expensive for doing nothing. You can do it for free at home, believe me! Everywehre is closed. No matter if you maintain or something. I pay and I got nothing! Very good trade. I'll give you nothing, you give me money. I liked it.

The price of the equivalent of €30 for a community pool/spa is absolutely outrageous. I boycotted on principle alone. This is Norway at its absolute worst.

If you visit Hamar, I highly recommend you to go to the swimming pool. They have a great Sauna 65°/80°, Olimpic Swimming pool. Nice personal and a great place to go to relax. Good prices and a good place to spend your day.

Awesome place... very clean water in the swimming pool and clean changing room. A little expensive... but I'm from Italy, maybe it's right for Norway

Fantastisk velvære.. Need to do IT it the dark evening of winter... Ill be back

Although Domkirkeodden was closed for renovation during my visit, I still enjoyed experiencing it from the outside. The ruins, set against the serene landscape, carry a deep historical weight. I was particularly moved by their connection to the Reformation—this place serves as a powerful reminder of the cost of change and the sacrifices made for the values we cherish today. The way the ruins are protected with structured glass is especially symbolic—it shows a commitment to preserving history, ensuring that we do not forget the past. A meaningful site that invites reflection. Hope to visit again when it reopens!

It was an interesting place and our guide did an excellent job explaining the history on the site to us. The glass enclosure was a very resourceful idea and the acoustics inside were perfect.

Was nice, we could see the historic walls of the fort. Previously you were supposed to be able to go in the protective enclosure of the cathedral but birds broke the glass so we couldn't. You could still view it from the outside. There also is a small historic artifact museum in the museum. The area is a medieval fort and market that was blown up by the Swedes. (Darn YOU SWEDEN!) Definitely worth seeing and I hope they continue to improve the site as part of it is currently under construction. This was my 10 year old son's favorite site in Norway.

Its all very interesting but i dont like that you have to pay to get inside to see it (so we didn't). But it also looks quite cool from the outside. Theres also alot of field, old houses and a mini 'beach' around it. Lovely views. Theres parking outside where you normally have to pay but it wasnt working when we went. There was also a mini truck with ice cream and waffles. I didnt see any toilets.

Beautifully preserved remains of the church. Great acoustics

Really cool and interesting place! Seeing the old ruins and connecting the history of the place is fascinating. The modern additions to the building bridge the modern with the ancient in a way that even though you know it's modern it doesn't detract from the history. My family very much enjoyed our visit here, and the walk to the railroad museum.

Over renovation, we couldn’t go inside the pyramid.

Great place to visit. Located in the forest with nature paths and natural cover in the trees. Facilities are excellent and staff super friendly and helpful.

Small and cozy place. The kids love that you are allowed to buy food and feed some of the animals

Small zoo. You can feed the animals! Well worth a visit. Bring your own food, thet have barbecues standing around. Or buy waffles and ice cream.

Very nice zoo, the animals have ample space and were very curious. Love that it's possible to feed some of them and the petting area was super nice. A great experience for kids, and the size is just perfect for a day trip.

Nice little zoo. It was great to see the animals in an open exhibit instead of a concrete enclosure. The staff was very nice. The animals come right up to the fence for great photos!!!

In may we have been surprised with partially closed setup (no monkeys, surikatas, closed road to other animals, etc.), no feeding and no contact with any animals. The same entrance price... It would be nice to know that ahead as otherwise it's a nice little zoo 🙂

Very nice zoo, located in a forest with a farm aesthetic. Makes it feel a bit less like you're at a animal prison. The zoo ends with a large playground and a BBQ area with a kiosk. Would recommend to bring some antibacterial wipes if you plan to eat there as the aren't many options to clean yourself after interacting with animals. Bring the kids.

I had a chance to experience the ice sliding during the winter. Although we didn’t have the proper tools so we had to bear with the big plastic bags. It was good and better if you can arrange some tools etc.

Beautiful natural space for small hikes. The outdoor museum is a bit lacking though.

A nice open air museum.

Nice, quiet and local coffee shop at the outdoor museum in Gjøvik.

Beautiful musem / park with amazing old buildings and a great, serene lake and an insanely good view of Mjøsa. Worth a visit for sure if you are in the area.

Very petty during summer. A bit poorly maintained slice of history. They serve a tad overpriced food, but it's worth a look if you are in the area.

Great place for a walk.

A very interesting museum in a lovely location. Our guided tour was excellent but we felt a little rushed; we would have liked just a little more time in the house. The staff are all lovely and very helpful. There are free lockers for your bags and a nice cafe. Try the Suksessterte (success cake)!

Visit the birthplace of independent and democratic Norway. Only on guided tours, running every hour - in English once a day. The tour is a bit expensive, but it's a beautiful house and I definitely learned more about Norwegian history. Very nice cafe.

Today, we had the pleasure of visiting Museum Eidsvoll 1814, and we are really grateful for our guide. His enthusiastic and engaging tour made our experience truly remarkable. He answered all our questions with patience and depth, making the history accessible and fascinating. His passion was so infectious that even our 6-month-old baby seemed captivated! Thank you once again for this wonderful experience. We highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in history, and we wish the museum continued success in sharing Norway's heritages.

Eidsvoll Manor, located at 30 minutes by car from Oslo, is the place where the Constitution of Norway was signed in 1814. The building was first constructed ca. 1770. As it stands today, the manor is the result of an extensive renovation and modernization in the years around 1800 by Carsten Anker. In 1814, the Constitution of Norway was signed at Eidsvoll on May 17. The Manor can be visited nowadays and within the location you can serve a frugal lunch consisting of sandwiches, muffins and waffles. Also, there is a souvenir shop in the cafeteria where you can buy various objects from umbrellas to quill pen, similar with the one that the Constitution was signed.

The monumental place for modern day Norway. Buildings and surrounding are very well preserved. Quiet place with a small park to walk and relax, which is kinda unique in this part of Norway. Shame that Norway is funding schools and other cultural buildings and events around the globe but can't find a way to make fee-free entrance to such a monumental museum in own courtyard.

Eidsvoll 1814 has been on my wishlist of places to go for about four years. That is when I learned that my 3x great grandfather was one of 112 Eidsvollmenn who drafted and signed the Norwegian Constitution. After booking a 12-day tour to "Majestic Norway" a couple months prior, I then arranged for a tour of Eidsvoll 1814 to learn more about my paternal ancestor and the place he traveled to over 200 years earlier to change the course of Norwegian hisory. The very afternoon that I landed and deplaned in Oslo, I boarded a train to Eidsvoll Verk then a public bus to Eidsvoll 1814. When I arrived on the site of the ironworks, tour guide Mikaela was just finishing up with a group so I sat in the contemporary Kafe Standpunkt, which overlooks a waterway, to rest and enjoy a beverage. Upon entering Eidsvoll Manor (built circa 1770), Mikaela and I put booties on over our footwear to protect the floors of the historic building. From there, Mikaela guided me room to room and floor to floor while talking about the history of Eidsvoll and the purpose of each room. She also told me a few stories about my 3x gg who was a farmer and served as sheriff of Valle in Setesdal for 50 years. The furnishings and overall decor in the main part of the house are sumptuous. The servants' quarters are plain but, except for the noise from the old Ironworks, it was a large, comfortable home for those who worked and lived there. Visiting Eidsvoll 1814 was a highlight of my first visit to Norway. Thank you to all the staff who helped make my dream come true.

If you want to learn about Norwegain history then you can come. Peace and beautiful

I was issued a fine of 1200 NOK even though I did everything according to their instructions, but their system was lagging to charge my card. Scanned my card at the entry, tried to scan it at the exit, didn't work, got issued a fine for supposedly not having a ticket, the inspector didn't want to look or listen that my card was reserved but not charged yet, even when there were witnesses that confirmed everything, he just issued a fine. Very pleasant experience.

This was amazing travel from Oslo Airport to Oslo Central Station - I am railway enthusiast from Poland and found this travel emotional and extremely interesting, especially because of high speed - 210 km per hour. Journey to Oslo Central Station lasts exactly 22 minutes! I am also very grateful for the highest quality of services of train crew, so as supporting staff of Flytoget at both stations. They are ready to answer all questions, also from railway enthusiasts:), like me. Flytoget high speed trains go every 10 minutes, and it makes this way of travelling not only the most time-saving, but extremely interesting. I am very sensitive on safety procedures, and I found these applied at Flytojet as the most restrictive, which makes passengers' journey safe, quiet and comfortable. At each pair of seats in the train everybody could read safety instructions, written both in Norwegian and English, in very simple way (with drawing of train scheme). It is only one sheet of thick paper, but information are written on both pages, in very quick way. Electric sockets are double in every two seats, so there is no issue to use it for our electrical appliances. It was great pleasure to use Flytoget high speed trains during my visit to Oslo. I recommend this highest quality services not only to travel enthusiasts, but all passengers who are interested in the best and time-saving way of travelling. Thank you Flytoget team for your excellent job! See you next time!

There was no warning at the kiosk when I bought my TRAIN ticket that the trains weren't running. Instead, they shuffled us into an overcrowded bus that took forever to load and slowly made its way downtown. For this clearly substandard service they reduced the price by nothing. Next time, I'll find a better way to town. This was pathetic.

Very comfortable, and very easy access to make your way from Oslo's international airport to Oslo's center. Ticket's cost around 240 NOK

HORRIBLE!!! I bought the tickets to go and come. On my way back, they simply canceled the trains, there was nothing written in the station. I had to get a cab otherwise I would miss my flight. Now they blame me because there was a buss going from another station (not the one I was departing from and had the tickets already), and I did not get it! Avoid it if you can! :(

As others reported, it happened to me that the trip that was supposed to be made by train was performed by bus, considerable slower and less comfortable. Although the bus was nice and perfectly suitable, there was no previous warning or discount. Other bus services offer the same for smaller price. I was going to rate Flytoget as a 3 stars but after reading that what happened to me it's common, I can only rate it as a 2 stars.

Just arrived at Oslo airport from Oslo using flytoget and it was really good, purchased ticket from the station no problem, boarding and train journey was easy and fast. Will definitely use again if visiting Oslo.

Great great lake with a very nice path to go around and enjoy it. The walk takes 30' in moderate pace, there are two beaches, a waffle shop, toilets, benches to sit and enjoy the still waters, kind people walking and enough parking, although, JUST barely as of late, Jessheim is growing. A great lake for our small city 😍

A nice place to go for a tour, it will take you approximately 30 minutes for 1 round. I always walk here and I bike sometimes. Tried visiting here on all seasons and it’s still beautiful no matter what. They even have workout equipments near the parking area that’s accessible for everyone. Love this place!

Nice place for grill and swimming

Nature place , fresh air

Beautiful place for a walk. It also has this training site with different exercises, fun for kids too.

If u live Jessheim that’s where u go all summer after work + weekends. 😉😉 and if u don’t live Jessheim I would suggest someplace else as it could be VERY VERY crowdy especially during weekends (unless u like it like that then it’s all yours ).

Great place for tobogganing from the hills onto the ice-covered lake

Fin historie. Good history lesson.

Good food friendly staff. Beautiful art.

Historic place

Hustorical church

(Translated by Google) Nice stop in this magnificent little village with these beautiful churches!! There is a real sweetness of life in this place, ideal for walking, taking a break and enjoying the artists! (Original) Joli arrêt dans ce petit village magnifique avec ces belles églises!! Il y a une vraie douceur de vivre à cet endroit, idéal pour se promener, faire une pause et profiter des artistes!

(Translated by Google) Great historical place. It is said that two sisters who do not want each other did not want to go to the same church. The fact that they were built about 50 years after each other speaks against this. Story from 1100, the early Christianization in Norway. A runestone in the cemetery is even older. I definitely visit the art barn and eat a waffle in the hotel opposite. (Original) Toller historischer Ort. Es wird behauptet, zwei Schwestern, die sich nicht möchten, wollten nicht in die selbe Kirche gehen. Dagegen spricht, dass sie etwa 50 Jahre nacheinander gebaut wurden. Geschichte aus dem Jahr 1100, der frühen Christianisierung in Norwegen. Ein Runenstein auf dem Friedhof ist sogar noch älter. Unbedingt Ich die Kunstscheune besuchen und eine Waffel im Hotel gegenüber essen.

(Translated by Google) Incredibly old. But who is the greatest? Maria or Sister Nikolai? Or were they not sisters, but siblings? and wasn't it the siblings who were arguing, but someone else? And those who quarreled, did they quarrel so badly that they did not want to share a church? So bad that they each made their own church? And so it is not the quarrelers who are sisters, but the churches who are sisters? A church, kirkA. (Female transmission). But St. Mary's Church looks the biggest. So does the Nikolai Church. So here you have to go to the basic text, which is well preserved in the old church drawings at Gran municipal Plan og Bygg. Trees that are so old they are turned to stone. Incidentally, there are many spruce stones around the churches. Ivar Ballangrud eventually won one of these. Enough about that. Maybe not so many people say MariakirkA, but most people maybe say Mariakirken?!?!? Mr. Google does that..... So SØSKENKIRKENE is perhaps a pretty good descriptive name? No, I the best would be...... THE BROTHER CHURCHES!!! The church is an old house....... Those who believe in Santa Claus will see! Or as Paul McCartney sings: "Mother Mary speaks to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be....." The priest has a Norwegian version of this sung wisdom: "Let us pray, let us pray, let us pray...". (Original) Utrolig gammel. Men hvem er størst? Maria eller søster Nikolai? Eller var de ikke søstre, men søsken? og var det ikke søsknene som kranglet, men noen andre? Og de som kranglet, kranglet de så fælt at de ikke ville dele kirke? Så fælt at de laget hver sin kirke? Og så er det ikke kranglerne som er søstre, men kirkene som er søstre? Ei kirke, kirkA. (Hunkjønnsending). Men Mariakirka ser størst ut. Det gjør også Nikolai-kirkEN. Så her må man gå til grunnteksten, som befinner seg godt bevart i de gamle kirketegningene hos Gran kommunale Plan og Bygg. Trær som er så gamle at de er til stein. Det befinner seg forøvrig mange granstener rundt kirkene. Ivar Ballangrud vant til slutt en av disse. Nok om det. Kanskje ikke så mange som sier MariakirkA, men folk flest sier kanskje Mariakirken?!?!? Hr. Google gjør jo det..... Så SØSKENKIRKENE er kanskje et ganske bra betegnende navn? Nei, jeg det beste ville vært...... BRORKIRKENE!!! KirkEN den er et gammelt hus....... Den som tror på julenissen får se! Eller som Paul McCartney synger: "Mother Mary speaks to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be....." Presten har en norsk versjon av denne påsungne visdommen: "La oss be, la oss be, la oss be-e....".

Interesting place but unfortunately it was closed when we were there.

It was really nice visiting here. We got lucky with the weather. Had a lovely walk along the planks that lay tied on top of the water, that took us into that nature trail, checking out the log driving museum cabins on the way. Also checked out the old milling workshops on the land before wandering down to the café for a nice coffee.

Venice in Norway!

This was a really cool place. Very interesting history and a lot of fun for the kids. Worth a trip for sure.

Historical logging site with a very chili atmosphere.

Lovely museum, the booms are easily accessible and gives an unique view of Glomma and it's surrounding. The nearby nature visitation center was wonderful and we'll worth a visit.

Have a small Café and some tables and benches during summer beside the lake.
