In Trondheim there’s actually the Nidaros church worth visiting. Again the library offers free internet. To recharge our batteries and get a hot shower we booked the camp site Flakk a bit outside the city right next to the sea.
After a very slow morning with scrambled eggs and potatoes we headed inland, leaving the coast of Norway | See the pictures
The weather was sort of getting better, at least not that wet anymore but still cold and often overcast. But we managed to go for a hike on the Dovrefjell along the “Gamle kongeveien” which means old kings path in a beautiful environment.
Another rest area near Dovre offered hot showers before we briefly visited the stave church of Ringebu (not the nicest one) and arrived in the former olympic city of Lillehammer. A quick coffee and we went on, taking the “Birkebeinerveien” that leads through a lovely fjell – but costs NOK 100! Having thought initially to be able to get away without paying because we didn’t have any coins and the toll machine didn’t accept credit cards, we soon had to accept that the Norwegian toll system is pretty fucking well-established – in the middle of nowhere they put a gate and a house where you have to pay NOK 50 for the road that you were just taking and then another 50 to get out of the bush again. What sort of makes up for it though is first of all the beauty of nature and a nice camp site which is included in the price. So after all it’s actually worth taking that way if you can … And the last kilometres before the border to Sweden also offers a very nice road passing many little lakes.
