Tingvoll is Møre og Romsdal’s fjord-framed eco-basin — a municipality where oak forests meet medieval stone churches, cheese wins world titles, and five green leaves crown the coat of arms. With around 3,000 residents and a landscape shaped by the Tingvollfjord, Årsundfjord, and the villages of Tingvollvågen, Meisingset, Torjulvågen, and Straumsnes, Tingvoll is the kind of place where you can hike past Viking monuments, explore textile mills, and still sip spruce tea beside a cheese named Kraftkar. It’s got heritage, harmony, and a name that means “assembly meadow.”
