Tips
A memorial at the Mefjellet rest stop commemorates a tragedy in 1812 that is recorded in the church records of Lom: In March 1812, six men from Lom rode towards Luster to fetch barley flour because the harvest had been bad. When a terrible storm broke over the riders, they didn't stand a chance and all died.
