June 11, 2021 Velvet Mowry

The central Norwegian area of Trondelag has its ideological capital in Trondheim, founded by Viking king Olaf Tryggvason in the 10th century and the seat of Norway's power until the 13th. Today, it's still the country's third-largest city, a university town with a rich culture. Trondelag's western offshore islands of Hitra and Froya are popular for outdoor adventures like camping, hiking, biking, snorkeling and scuba diving. They are also one of the world's best spots for deep sea fishing.

The Forollhogna Mountains

The Forollhogna mountains Forollhogna National Park is the kingdom of the great reindeer bucks! Forollhogna is often associated with impressive antlers and large reindeer. The reindeer bucks here are larger than no other place in Norway. That says something about how rich and viable this mountain region is for all other life. In the open and virtually unspoilt landscape, on the border between Hedmark and Sor-Trondelag counties, you'll find a rich variety of plants and animals. In the neighbouring valleys traditional mountain farming is thriving. Mountain villages and living summer farms in Forollhogna In the spring time farmers move their families and animals up to the mountain farms for ecologic production of milk and meat. They are surrounded by a breathtaking landscape. When visiting them, you may enjoy the healthy silence or take part in the work. These farms are many centuries old and are still in use, giving you fine opportunities to see traditional farming up close. At some of them, tasty traditional fare will heighten your enjoyment wild trout, sour cream porridge, curd and molske, or perhaps an exciting meal prepared from the season's choice ingredients. Activities all seasons At some of the mountain farms you may stay overnight and possible combine this with others activities like hiking, wildlife spotting, biking, photo safaris, horse riding, fishing or just pure relaxation! In wintertime activities like skiing in the outback, husky safaris, reindeer and horse sleigh rides, snowshoeing and history-telling will give you the perfect adventure holiday. When visiting Forollhogna we also recommend visiting the world heritage mining town Roros. How to get there? Train from Oslo, Hamar, Trondheim no Roros Airport, www.rfly.no By car from (aprox. in time): Oslo - 4-4,5 hours Trondheim – 1,5-2,5 hours You don't need a 4x4 vehicle to visit.

Slegghaugan

Slag is a by-product of copper smelting. Slegghaugan stand as large mountains that are a testament to the huge amount of activity that has taken place over 333 years. If you climb to the top of Slegghaugan, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Mining-Town. Very close to Slegghaugan is Sleggveien, also referred to as Pippi Street. An episode of Pippi Long Stocking was filmed here.

Reviewed By annasen2016 - Gothenburg, Sweden

Quite central hills with good views. We went here as a part of the guided city walk (recommended), and by ourselves. Scenic river close by. That is why the city was founded here and not closer to the mines - the water energy of the river is central to this mining city. At times, there is a theatre show, with real horses and more, on these slag hills. You can look at and hold in your hand the interesting leftover slag hill stones, but not move it. This is a Unesco world heritage site; the whole "circumference" around the actual mine is.

If you want to be close to nature then this is the place to go, wonderful any time of the year wether you are walking or skiing (or even mushroom picking in the right season). A nice change from the hustle and bustle of the town centre and easily accessible by public transport from the town.
