Romedal almenning (Stange)

Romedal almenning in Stange covers 243,000 decares, with 35 lakes and tarns and many kilometres of river and stream. Perch and brown trout live in most of the waters, and Harasjøen (280 m above sea level), Gjetholmsjøen and Bjørktjernet also hold pike and roach. The association does fishery management work, and there are tent sites, lean-to shelters at some of the lakes and open cabins in the commons.
