It takes one hour and 22 minutes do go by train from Oslo S to this lovelly little norwegian town. The trip is very nice, with a confortable train and astonishing views. This little town is crossed by a river, frozen at this time. Experience a peaceful moment visiting a charming fortress that seems to guard Kongsvinger!

Well worth taking time to visit. You can go into the old buildings - which are clearly marked with their functions and dates. This would be great for children - who can let imaginations run wild! Take the time to look over the river and the town.
3. Kongsvingers Golfklubb

This is a very golf course. They have been struggling a little bit which the greens until last year but autumn 2013 was very promising.The new greenskeepers seem to know how to get them in the condition the course deserves, because the layout and the scenery is very good. All holes have their own space so you feel like you're enclosed in the forrest. Most of the par fours and fives are quite demanding even off the yellows, and the hazards are mostly strategically placed. If they keep improving the greens this vill be one of the best courses in Norway. But you must remember that climate and money are not like the top courses further south. All in all its hard to see that you cold do much better all things considered. Looking forward to the 2014 season which starts a record early 17/4!

FInnskogene is a rural, woody and remote landscape close to the Swedish border in East Norway (Hedmark county). It's very pretty as you drive on country roads, with a few impressive churches in beautiful settings.

Staff at this TI were very helpful. They let us take our time to sit down and review information. Very familiar with this area, they have helped us twice in doing genealogy research - back beyond the 1600's! We plan to visit again - every few years if possible!
7. Odalstunet Local Rural Museum
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Kaj Elkjær K - Kongsvinger, Norway
Her får man et godt innblikk i lokalhistorien med mange flotte velbevarte bygninger og en mengde utstyr som ble brukt tidligere. Selvagt mest interessant å besøke Odalstunet på " åpne dager" hvor det er en masse aktivitet og liv i stuene og det vises fram ulike former for gammelt håndverk. Kan absolutt anbefales. Også interessant for barn.
