Tips
On the section of our hike marked here, we follow the pilgrimage route towards Nidaros, which several previous kings of Norway have already walked. The partly dead straight course is striking, both over the pass at Hjerkinn and then on to the E6. A sign informs that the responsible builder was influenced by the French road construction, which preferred direct and straight routes.
