Kongsvold Fjeldstue

Top choice in Central Norway


This charming and historic place of intriguing early-18th-century timber buildings is 13km north of Hjerkinn on the E6. Every room is different although all are warm and cosy. Locals drive kilometres to come and enjoy the excellent evening meals (set menus 495kr to 995kr) and every other person driving past seems to stop for coffee and waffles in the cafe.

Park information and maps are available here and there's a small museum dedicated to the park. Musk oxen safaris can also be organised. It's 500m from tiny Kongsvold station (trains stop only on request).
