"The potato grass stands tall and proud and is delighted to be called the purple orchid of the fields." That is how the popular writer Alf Prøysen explained to his readers the wonders of Ringsaker.

It was here Prøysen found his inspiration and where his early years were spent. Many small moments became a full life and through his writing, he was able to perpetuate good feelings and sound childhood memories for ages to come.

Ringsaker has an enormous heart, big enough for every-one. Perhaps you will find peace here as well?
