NEWS ABOUT ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS FROM DESTINATION RØROS.
Take a walk down Pippi Longstocking’s street, a boat trip on Elias, a quiz where Blåfjell was recorded or visit the old copper mine at Røros Museum, Olavsgruva – all this and more in one region!
I am the miner, the labourer. That is what I am by nature, by feeling, – my poetry, my research is that of the miner and my view of the world is his. When you are descended from a 300-year old mining family, this is perfectly natural.
Culture, landscape and history in the Røros region are closely bound together, thanks to mining heritage, rich cultural traditions, widespread farming and industrial diversity.
This is Destination Røros
Destination Røros stretches from Nord-Østerdalen in Hedmark county to the southernmost part of Trøndelag county and also borders on Sweden. The Forollhogna and Femundsmarka National Parks surround one of Norway’s most exciting areas of natural and cultural history.
HISTORY AND CULTURE
This mining town began to take form in 1644, when the first copper ore was extracted on the mountain plateau. Among the people trying to survive in the mountains with its unforgiving winters, were the indigenous people of Scandinavia, the Sámi.
Today, the small town of Røros is almost like a living museum, as the town centre with its authentic wooden structures has many listed buildings.
