The World of Wilderness is where you have fun together with family, friends or colleagues. Nature in itself can offer genuine, fascinating and unexpected experiences, and it also creates a spectacular backdrop for a range of activities.
Amid vast, deep forests and majestic mountains, you can spend your days outdoors in clean, fresh air, enjoy nature and take part in the numerous activities on offer. This is where you'll find the natural excitement often missing from everyday life.
Flourishing countryside, wild animals, deep forests, mountains and a stunning cultural landscape. Exhilarating rafting adventures or canoe trips on peaceful lakes, rambling across moss-clad mountain plateaus, cloudberries, cowberries and jumping trout.
Our gentle mountain landscape is easy to navigate - from flat rolling hills to towering peaks in the national parks Rondane, Dovrefjell, Femundsmarka, Forolhogna and Gutulia.
Here, you’ll find Mjøsa, Norway largest lake, and Glomma, Norway's longest river (350 km). With some 2000 lakes and rivers, the area offers fantastic opportunities for keen anglers.
If you yearn for urban life, the road leading out of the forest and tranquillity is not long. Hamar, Kongsvinger and Elverum all offer a colourful cultural scene. Here you can enjoy a wide choice of restaurants, galleries and museums. Bergstaden Røros is located in the northern part of the World of Wilderness, and in the heart of the region you'll find the winter wonderland Trysil.
Find yourself in the World of Wilderness and enjoy experiences you’ll never forget, either alone or together with your loved ones. Enjoy folk music at Grundsetmart´n, Norway’s oldest market event, get an insight into the Finn culture during the Finnskog Festival or help celebrate Kongsvinger’s 150th anniversary together with thousands of others.
If the rural villages of Hedmarken are on your itinerary, do not miss the great Hamar Festival in June. A combined medieval and music festival filled with vibrant fun. More easy-going entertainment can be enjoyed on board Skibladner, the world's oldest paddle steamer, as it takes you on a voyage down Mjøsa.
