Magnificent walk, Nadine🤩 with stunning views, glorious churches chiming those delightful bells all superbly put together with enchanting music. Thank you, Nadine and Buen Camino🙋♀️
Thank you Nadine. I think this might be one for me very soon. Love your pictures, love your thoughts, love your inspiration and loved the church & the bells😊
Thank you so much Nadine, that was so beautiful.
Two magical churches along with encounters with a cow and an elk... I'd say that is a stellar Nordic day. Plus, coffee and pastry... perfect! Did you pick up the St. Olav story along the way? Also, a walking leg shot with the stick in evidence... nice to see your 'brand' make an appearance. I was pondering your own ponderings too. The rustic yet comfortable accomodations are charming. The scenery is even more spectacular, Nadine... even the horror movie ones... could be trolls in them forests though. Cheers and adventure on!
Wow, so gorgeous. And those bells tolling just as you arrived, so special!
Thank you, Nadine! Watching the whole St. Olav's Ways series, I really want to walk Gudbrandsdalsleden myself. I am a Norwegian, living just outside Oslo, and I love your videos from this pilgrimage, always looking forward to your next video. :)
a wonderful rendition of "Gloria In Excelsis Deo" from the Church! Wonder how they sing that in Norwegian! Beautiful views as Always! Thank You!
Thank you for these videos. I have enjoyed them very much. I have been interested in doing this pilgrimage since I visited Trondheim in 2019 and discoverered the pilgrimage signposts while out on a hike. Your videos are inspiring me to give it a try next summer. A video about what to expect regarding the condition of the trail and the degree of difficulty of some of the sections would be helpful. I like to know what to expect. Buen Camino.----------
At ~ 4:30 - Would anyone know what purpose that small, brown building is, in Nadine's background - up on the slope??
Thank you, beautiful Nadine, for taking us along. I also LOVE the very pretty background music to your videos❤.
It's a "Stabbur". It was used for storing food. It's elevated from the ground so rodents and vermin couldn't get into it.
I’m always so delighted to wake up and see there is a new video of your travels - especially this one from Norway since I’ve visited this area before and it is the birthplace of my dad.
The church is sooo beautiful!
Loved the bells ringing! Have a good day walking!
What a gorgeous day!
It’s a good thing that you are not in Gudbrandsdalen as we speak. They had an extreme amount of rain and flood.
Yes I'm very thankful to not have had those difficulties when I walked- the rain is really damaging parts of the trail right now!
Wonderful!
Stunning scenery!
Thank you very much again for this lovingly made video and the great impressions. So nice!!! Question: I heard, that Norway is very expensive, it is like that?
These always put a morning smile on my face and get my day off to an amazing start!!! Beautiful!
Walking strongly!
I enjoy following you on your journeys Nadine. Norway is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this pilgrimage. My ancestors are from Norway so I might need to walk there.
You inspired me to do the camino portugues... now you are inspiring me again!!!
Great series!!!
Thank you for the videos. Looking forward to the next one. Stay safe❤
Great video one more time,Nadine!! A question....do you know something about Camino Ignaciano un Spain? Maybe could be one off your next trips😊
How beautiful, thank you for taking us along, buen camino❤️
Hi Nadine loving these vlogs I have walked the Frances and the Portuguese. How different was the cost compared to the Spanish caminos, as I believe Norway is very expensive to travel in
10:50 midnight sun ❤
Actually not the midnight sun. You have to get north of the arctic circle for that, just North of the end of the pilgrim round in Trondheim. But the nights are not dark.
for me its a midnight sun😁it’s only cloudy
I can almost sense the cleanliness of the air! Is there a St Olav's App to download?
Of course you get new energy by Ringebu, as here the real pilgrimage starts. You should have taken the bus from Lillehammer to Ringebu, to avoid the touristy areas above Lillehammer. Hope you'll visit Sør-Fron Church as well, very nice, and the small sister of Røros Church. I repeat my advices:
I want to give some advice. Start the St. Olavsleden pilgrimage route at Granavollen at Hadeland, with the Sister Churches and the charming Maria Church. There is a very informative pilgrimage center. Take the train from Oslo to the village of Gran, from there is just a short walk up to Granavollen. This is the best starting point for the pilgrimage, instead of walking through the grim suburbs of Oslo.
From Granavollen walk to the Hoff Medieval Church, and from there be sure not to miss the sticks out to Balke Medieval Church, a really nice church, while the walk here leads through the most significant and oldest cultural landscapes of Norway, part of our selected cultural landscapes.
Then walk down to the pier of Kapp by Lake Mjøsa and take the steam wheeler Skibladner to the Domkirkeodden church ruins in the town of Hamar. If Skibladner doesn't leave from Kapp that day, take the bus to the Town of Gjøvik, as Skibladner leaves from there every day. Eventually you can take the bus to Hamar, in July the buses costs less than 1 EURO or 10 N.Kr., no matter how far you want to travel. So if you get tired of walking, remember that you in July always can take a bus to Nidaros for 10 N.Kr.
At Hamar you must not miss the guided tours for Domkirkeodden, there are several different guiding's, one for the ruins, one for the plants and herbs, and one for the larger area. All the guiding's start by the ruins.
To be continued after church.
From Hamar you continue to Lillehammer, where you should walk the renown walking street and visit the charming Garmo Stave Church at Maihaugen Folk Museum.
At the village of Otta you turn right up to the Rondane Mountains, as these mountains are like a cathedral of nature. They're not too wild, neither boring, just perfect for meditation and inner reflection. I recommend walking the four day hike of the classical route Trekanten, or the Triangel. You can sleep at the cabins of DNT, or the Norwegian Tourist Union. Here you get dinner and breakfast, and if you become a member, you get a good discount.
Too don't miss the Vesleulfossen Waterfalls in Rondane, the tallest waterfall between Oslo and Trondheim.
Ps! Personally I would take a bus from Lillehammer to Ringebu, and continue the pilgrimage from Ringebu Stave Church. In my opinion the area between Lillehammer and Ringebu is too touristy, and it's from Ringebu the real interesting history begins. The time saved I would rather spend in the Rondane Mountains.
Thank you, thank you - for taking your time 😮 to write your suggestions and descriptions of Nadine's and your trips in Norway! ❤❤
I would love to see some of the stamps you are getting.
The lodging link is to Gildesvollen Pilgrim Hostel and not Sygard Grytting, Medieval Hostel.
Thanks for letting me know, it should be fixed now!
How long was your entire walk. I found a map and said only 9 days? I would love to know where you started and ended. Thank you
Oslo to Trondheim!
I visited Norway about 20 years ago. I found it astronomically expensive. Is it still as dear now? How much for a coffee in a cafe?
The currency exchange rate is very favorable for foreigners in Norway at the moment. So you get more for your dollars, euros or pounds. Because of this many people who have had Norway on their bucket list have come here now. We have had a steadily increasing number of tourists the last few years. So this is good for tourists, but not good for us Norwegians, it has become more expensive for us to go abroad.
Norway will never be a cheap destination, cuz also people in the hospitality industry, in hotels, cafes and so on have decent pay... The same for people who work in stores and in public transport. But now would be the time to come here for anyone sitting on the fence... 😉👍🏻
This series of videos shows a part of Norway that we don't see much in "tourist videos", they are usually from the towns so Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, Ålesund and so on, or from The Fjord District or the Midnight Sun in Northern Norway. So it's very interesting to see how a tourist / pilgrim views this part of Norway. She's doing great in my opinion ! 👍🏻🤗👍🏻
omg🥰
Hello Nadine Please make a video about cost . Prices are crazy in Norway arnt they ? Love watching your video , Stay safe
I plan to do a video on FAQ about this walk, but I'm going to finish these daily recaps first. So stay tuned!
