Take the tram and walk up the hill left of the grocery. Keep walking until you see the trail on the right into the woods. Lovely setting beautifully reconstructed after a fire. We did not see the interior closed the day we were there but the exterior was worth the visit. Very quiet and peaceful the day we visited. More

this church was burned by a crazy young man some 20 years ago, and what you see now is a replica. You should rather go to one of the genuine stave churches in Sogn or Telemark. But if you do not have the possibility for that, this copy shows you what kind of building a stave church is. More

On your right you find some stairs, you go up and then follow the road which winds up for some time up. At a certain moment on your left you will... More

I went there with my 2 daughters (ages 5 and 2) and my mother. I took the number 21 bus (ask the driver to tell you when to get off the bus), and hike up. This is definitely NOT the route to take if you have a stroller with you. Slippery path, and lots of stairs. If you are bringing... More
