Lake at Midnight

Favorite thing: The sun sets very late in the summer. We were in Røros in late June and I took this picture at midnight at a lake just outside of town. We were in the countryside looking for my wife's great-grandmother's house. She had seen a picture of it taken many years ago and thought that she would recognize it again when she saw it. Here we are driving down people's driveways at midnight looking for a house in my wife's memory. I was afraid we would get shot as intruders since all of the residents had probably gone to bed already!

Favorite thing: Just get out of your car and walk around. The whole village is about 1/2 mile in diameter. You can peak thru the small windows into the shops with grass cover roofs. During the summer the main street is closed to vehicle traffic.See the Røros website at
http://www.rorosinfo.com/e_index.html
and you can take a virtual tour of the town

Favorite thing: Hi! It should not be a problem to visit Røros in the summer. I spent some days there in the last week of July and the weather was OK! You do not have to worry about mosquitos ;)

A: Not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if Roros, being a World Heritage site, will mean that it will be crowded when you visit in early October?

Røros

 Røros is amazing. The old part is 100% wooden. If travelling in the area, you absolutely must visit. Together with Olavsgruva, it takes at least a day.
