What creature inspired this snow sculpturist?

Some 30 km north of Røros, in Hessdalen, you can observe Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs)!
At the end of 1981 through 1984, residents of the Valley became concerned and alarmed about strange, unexplained lights that appeared at many locations throughout the Valley.
Project Hessdalen was established in the summer of 1983. The observation is still going on. An automatic measurement station was put up in Hessdalen in August 1998.

The place is the home of the "Norsk UFO-senter".

Hitterdal Church

Outside of Røros is the Hitterdal Church. We were looking at the headstones in the churchyard for my wife's ancesters. This church was quite different from others we had seen in the area but was the most interesting!

Feragen Headstones

The names on these headstones are from my wife's ancesters. The cemetery is right in front of the church as you arrive.

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 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.
