We dedicated the last day in Oslo to the Olympic site from 1952. A visit to Holmenkollen is definitely worth it. We cycle a few kilometers steadily uphill on the well-marked path. The jump is visible from afar. Upon reaching the top, we are greatly impressed by the gigantic structure. We need to take a close look at this masterpiece of statics and architecture. We ride up to the observation platform and hope to snag a spot in the elevator to the tower. We buy a ticket for the interesting ski museum. The waiting time for the ascent turns out to be a bit long for us. We also visit the Holmenkollen Chapel, a wonderful wooden construction. We thank dear God for taking such good care of us during our journey. In the city, we enjoy a beer and look forward to going home.
