First part of the day went through fields full of sheep which didn't give me too much trouble thankfully. After the fields I entered Falstad forest where a memorial stands for the 300 people that the Germans executed there during the Second World War. There's also stone pyramids here and there in the forest marking known grave sites. Not all graves have been found.
After the forest the journey continued up and down the mountains along the Trondheim fjord.
When I was in Stiklestad I asked from the info about this area and the terrain as there would be a path following closely the coastline, but I was worried that it's too mountainous. The Norwegian woman told me that no the terrain here is very flat!
This area might be flat by Norwegian standards, but for the rest of us far from it. Thankfully I trusted my map reading skills when it comes to elevation and didn't go to the coastline but stayed on the main path. Hiking in Norway has been the heaviest part of this whole journey. It's just feels like I'm constantly going uphill.Læs mere
