To live here you will need a car and I was thinking it is possible that you might borrow mine if needed. To the citycenter there is 4 km. There you will find shops and the facilities you need. The nature is very nice with possibilities to go hiking in the mountains or the forest, water activities at Mjøsa, Norways biggest lake. One hour drive to Lillehammer. 20 minutes drive to Gjøvik. Less than two hours drive to Oslo. There are some activities as galleries, cafés, musees not to far from here. This area is dominated by agriculture and produses most of the vegeatbles that is possible to produce in Norway.
