M/S Storsjø

During a holiday near Koppang it is a good idea to take a boat trip on Storsjøen. The historic boat M/S Storsjø was launched for the first time back in the spring of 1912, and was originally produced to transport timber. Now the boat, after being used on Lake Mjøsa for more than 20 years, is back in Storsjøen, and today tourist trips are offered starting from Dampbåtvika, at the northern end of the lake, every year in July.

The living painting 'Winter Night in Rondane'

In 1901, artist Harald Sohlberg painted the famous painting 'Winter in Rondane' from a lookout in Sohlbergplassen. The beautiful sight is depicted with mountains with a bluish light, and over time the painting has also become a Norwegian national treasure.

Slegghaugan

Slag is the waste product that remains after the copper has gone through the smelting process. 'Slegghaugan' or Slag Mound reminds us of the enormous activity that has gone on for over 300 years in both mining and copper smelting. At the top of the slag heap there is a beautiful view over the Bergstaden. Both the Slegghaugan and Malmplass areas are protected by the Norwegian Cultural Heritage Act.

Not far from Slegghaugan is Sleggvejen, also known as 'Pippigatan', as an episode of Astrid Lindgren's story about Pippi Longstocking was filmed in the very same street.

Melting hut

In 'Smelthytta' visitors can see the exciting exhibition showing the history of Røros copper works through the ages, including different working processes in the extraction of copper from the mines, and the production of copper in the smelters. The exhibition is complemented by moving models that make it both easier and more fun to follow, for both adults and children.

The exhibition 'Ti finpussa' shows Røro's stoneware from the 19th century and there are also changing art and theme exhibitions.

Doktortjønna Open Air Park

The large outdoor park at Doktortjønna is only a 5-minute walk from the centre of Røros. The park is the perfect place to go if the kids are having a great day. The park is the perfect place for families and children and there are lots of activities going on. There is a zoo, climbing, playing, fishing, rowing or paddling, and don't forget a ride on the Elias boat. There are also many beautiful trails in the area that either lead up to Kvitsandas or the lake. So, should you have any strength left, go on one of these wonderful walks.
