Itinerary description
|
From the Ringsaker refuge to the Steinvik campsite, it is barely 2.8 kilometers away, which we cover first by road and then by a track parallel to it. The camping is completely crossed and the signage is good. After a gate we enter the forest where blueberries abound, and always at the foot of the lake, passing by nice little coves that invite you to the bath, we arrive at the pier of Moelv where we will take the famous Sklibladner to reach Lillehammer. As they explained to us in the Oslo pilgrim's office, it is practically obligatory for the pilgrims to take, even in a small stretch, as is our case, the Skibladner, the famous steamboat. We will carry out only the last section of the ship, between its penultimate stop in Moelv, and Lillehammer, where the route ends. They are barely 20 km covered in an hour of time but that gives us an idea of what it means and the uniqueness of this transport. In addition to seeing that most are Norwegians who use the Skibladner, we can have the beautiful stamp of this transport on our credential. While we make time until the departure time of the boat, we follow the road for a while by land and we go to the center of Moelv, where the road does not pass, to make some purchases. Arrived at the Lillehammer jetty, we have to cross the bridge over Lake Mjosa that takes us to the center of the city. We pass by his church that we took advantage of to visit inside and then, making a stretch of the famous Storgata of this Olympic city, we diverted to the train station which is where our accommodation today, the Lillehammer Vandrerhjem Stasjonen.

Where did you park you car?
Marie-Dominiqu Devaere, we didn't use any car, we did all the way from Oslo to Trondheim on foot and of course, we walked from Ringsaker to Moelv walking to take the Skibladner.
