Elverum: Starmoen Airfield - Elverum Flyklubb
The landscape around Starmoen Airfield in Elverum is low-lying and forested, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. Associated with Elverum Flyklubb, the airfield is part of the town’s recreational flying community and lies within Innlandet’s open, wooded interior. Elverum stands beside the Glomma, Norway’s longest river, where forestry has long influenced settlement and livelihoods. Norsk Skogmuseum reflects that connection through its focus on forestry, hunting and fishing. The town also has a notable national role: on 9 April 1940, the Storting adopted the Elverum Authorisation, granting the government emergency powers following the German invasion. Open airfield grounds and forest edges reflect the wider character of this part of Innlandet.
