Åmot

Åmot is Innlandet’s river-crossed forest basin - a municipality where conifer woods stretch toward Sweden, axes gleam in the coat of arms, and two mighty rivers meet beneath a bridge named for a local legend. With around 4,200 residents and a landscape shaped by the Glomma and Rena rivers, the Julussdalen valley, and the villages of Rena, Åsta, Osneset, and Snippen, Åmot is the kind of place where you can hike past husky farms, explore cobalt mines, and still sip spruce cordial beside a waterfall that once powered a pigment empire. It’s got rivers, ridges, and a name that means “river meeting.”

Getting There

Åmot lies in Østerdalen, with Rena as its administrative center and Osneset as its lakeside heart. Reach it via Rv3 from Elverum or train to Rena Station. The area is best explored by boots, bike, or bold curiosity - especially if you’re chasing axe echoes, river lore, or the hush of pine needles beside a gorge carved by glacial melt.
