Itinerary description

Show original
Obviously, it is a plain and practically flat stage that will take us to the first important city through which the Gudbrandsdalsleden passes after Oslo, obviously. We return to the road from Store Gillund Gård to follow the signs on the road. The walk is really nice, with beautiful views on the sides of fields of crops and farms. In the month of July we work in the collection of forest fruits as typical of this country as strawberries and raspberries, and it is not uncommon to find ourselves at the foot of the road at the entrances to the fields, posters announcing it. We will have to cross in a curious walk another golf course, the Atlungstad Golf, with holes on one side and another of the road and some sign that tells us that it is the golf club without doubt, more integrated in the Road of San Olav of Norway . At the end of the golf course we have a Café where we can have a drink and a museum distillery that can be visited, the Atlungstad Brennereimuseum. We leave the club behind and return to the foot of the lake to enter a small natural area known as the Naturstien Nordsveodden. Shortly after passing through the statue, very Viking by the way, the Det ukjente liv, we turn right to enter an urbanization that tells us that we are already on the outskirts of Hamar. This is the municipality of Sandvika, which we cross until we reach a large roundabout and the bridge through which we will cross to Hamar. Going always close to the lake we will first pass by the railway station of the city and later to the port where we will see the famous Skibladner. This boat, as explained by the informative panels, is an icon of this Nordic country and without a doubt it is a national pride because it is the oldest steamboat in operation in the world. In addition, it is a very pilgrim transport in which presenting the credential you get a significant discount for its use. The Skibladner travels on alternate days north and south from Eidsvoll, on the Vorma River, to Lillehammer, passing on both sides of Lake Mjosa, and there are many pilgrims who usually take it on Eidsvoll to do the stretch until the The city of Hamar, as documented, was made by the ancient pilgrims. In addition, Hamar is an important point on the path of the Gudbrandsdalsleden, because it is here, where pilgrims come from the eastern and western variants of Lake Mjosa. Those who come from the western variant, cross Hamar with the Skibladner from the beautiful town of Gjovik. From the port, we follow a lively walk along the lake to the Domkirkeodden area, where the remains of the imposing Hamar Cathedral are located, in a singular crystal armor, and a few meters, strategically located, the beautiful Pilegrimssenter Hamar, where we will stay today.
