Through Melhus flows the Gaula, one of the world's most productive salmon rivers, but the real story of this municipality reaches deep into the Viking Age. The region was a powerful political center in ancient Trøndelag. Very close by, on the historic Rimul farm, the dramatic end of Håkon Jarl took place in 995, one of Norway's last pagan rulers, who hid there in a pigsty.
