General presentation
Røros and Femundsmarka
Wood mining town and large lake areas tell the mountain interior near the Swedish border.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Røros
Røros conserves a wood mining town developed around copper extraction; courtyards, dark houses and burrows show how the industry has adapted to a particularly harsh climate.
Church
Church of Røros
The octagonal church of Røros was financed by the mining company at the end of the 18th century; its clear interior could accommodate a remarkable share of the working population.
Nature park
Femundsmarka National Park
Femundsmarka protects a landscape of ancient pines, glacial blocks and lakes near the Swedish border, which is appreciated for canoeing and self-driving hikes.
