Tynset Travel Forum

Hello. Unfortunately on Virtual Tourist there are no tips about this city. What a place is it? What one can do there and in the surrounding area?
Thanks for help.

Hmm well, it's a small place... - but it's not far from Røros, which is a UNESCO world heritage site and definitely worth visiting! (There are some Røros pages on VT - take a look..:o)

And you can go to Alvdal and experience the world of Kjell Aukrust, artist / writer. Several animation films have been made based on his stories, with his figures, hilarious!

Copied from Wikipedia:
Kjell Aukrust (March 19, 1920 – December 24, 2002 in Alvdal) was a Norwegian author, poet and artist. He is most famous for his memoirs of his childhood in Alvdal in the books Simen, Bonden and Bror Min, and his creation of the fictional Norwegian village of Flåklypa and its cast of idiosyncratic characters. This setting was the basis of the 1975 animated film "Flåklypa Grand Prix", directed by Ivo Caprino. The film was the first full length animated feature, became an international success and has been translated into more than seventy languages. In Britain it is known as "Pinchcliffe Grand Prix".

Tynset itself:

A museum with 17 old houses
A church from 1795
Museum / gallery at Ramsmoen
Horse racing track

The whole area is nice for hiking / camping / fishing. There is train connection to Trondheim / Oslo, or you could go west up into the mountains or east to Sweden.
