Welcome to East Norway

Between the big cities, fjords and mountains lie the large inland fjords and the cosy villages around them. Fields and farms, forests and meadows stretches like a patchwork over the cultural landscape. Beyond the villages is the deep forests that stretch all the way to the Swedish border.

Enjoy the good life in the country.
