The distance from the municipal center of [[Tynset (village)|Tynset]] is shown. *Kvikne Mines in Odden. The remains of [[mining]] operations begun in 1632. (60 min.) *[[Kvikne Church (Tynset)|Kvikne Church]]. A cruciform timber church built in 1652, with a richly decorated interior. The altar is an example of one of Norway's finest [[Renaissance]] [[altarpiece]]s and the church is adorned with staves (planks) on which one can see [[Viking]] [[graffiti]], an 11th-century [[crucifix]] and other artifacts from the Viking period. (45 min.) *Vollan Farm and Chapel. The farm was originally built in the mining period, the earliest part of which dates from the 17th century. This is one of the few farms in the country with its own private chapel. (45 min.) *Vollandagan: An annual festival connected with the traditional life of Vollan. *[[Bjørgan parsonage]], Kvikne. The birthplace of the author [[Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson]]. (50 min.) *[[Soapstone]] [[quarry]], Kvikneskogen, dates from 400 to 600 BC. (30 min. + 45 min. on foot). *[[Røstvangen Mines]]. The remains of a mining community from the beginning of the 20th century. It survived for only 17 years and was ruined by the greatest [[bankruptcy]] of the period. (25 min. + 15 min. on foot). *[[Eidsfossen Hydroelectric Power Station|Eidsfossen Power Station]], a decommissioned hydroelectric plant 5 km south of [[Yset]] that formerly powered the Røstvangen Mines. *Tynset Bygdemuseum. Tynset's village museum is 1 kilometer from the town centre and contains exemplar housing from early times to the present. *[[Tynset Church]]. An octagonal church that was built in 1795 by the architect of a larger example in Røros. The church displays a fine, gilded pulpit over the altar, which is peculiar to this area of Norway. A smaller copy of this church was built in 1825 as [[Bardu Church]] inb [[Bardu Municipality|Bardu]] in the northern county of [[Troms]] by the contractor (and native of Tynset) Ola Olsen Lundberg and is accurate many details. *Ramsmoen museumssenter: Exhibitions throughout the year, located in the centre of Tynset. *Garborgdagan.

Tylldalen's village museum (20 min.) A biennial play for St. Olav's Day is Norway's second oldest historical outdoor play.
