Oppistun
"Oppistun" is the place where the lyricist Hans Børli grew up - at Fjellskogen in Eidskog. His works are translated into several languages, and he has achieved a number of litterary awards.

Since the house burned down in 1969, no one lives in Børli. The staircase is left. Hans Børli called it "my altar”.
