Day 1

You can start  your journey at Magnor Glass, established in 1896, where several generations of skilled glassworkers have shaped the history of the glassworks. Here, you can experience glass art and design. While time moves forward, development doesn't stand still, but much remains the same as molten sand magically transforms into sparkling glass. Here, you can try your hand at glassblowing, watch the professional glassblowers at work, and enjoy lunch in the café or take home some beautiful designs.

Next, head to The Plus, Vestre Furniture Factory, one of the world's most environmentally friendly furniture factories.

Vestre's furniture can be found all over the world, and The Plus, as the factory is called, is a gem in itself. Here, you can take a tour of the factory, walk on the roof, and explore furniture set in nature, adapted for Hans Børli's poetry path. It's a unique and exciting world in the deep forests near the Swedish border and Magnor.

For lunch, you can choose to dine at Vestre or at Magnor Glassworks.

The next stop on the tour is Kongsvinger Fortress – here, you can take a well-deserved rest and stay overnight at the old fortress from 1673. Dinner and a tour here are an experience, as you watch the Glomma River flow by and gaze out over the vast forests towards Sweden.

The Old Town in Kongsvinger is also worth a stroll – steep hills and old wooden houses have a unique charm.

Day 2

After a good night's sleep, head towards Lillestrøm. Here, you can visit Nitja – a modern art center focused on contemporary art – and enjoy a delicious lunch in the café there. Elvebredden Kunstpark is worth a walk – here, you'll find 11 different artworks along the Nitelva River.

You can choose to visit the art hotel Quality Hotel Olavsgaard for a good night's sleep. The entire hotel is decorated with pictures, books, and artworks. Additionally, they have a good restaurant and bar.

The next morning, you can choose to stop by Galleri Würth, just a few minutes away. The collection here belongs to one of the largest private collections in Europe – the exhibition changes, and you can see works from Picasso to our own Edvard Munch.

The trip can be made in both directions.
