Kongsveien

Publicat: 26.08.2022

We were lucky when we spontaneously left the vehicle convoy behind the 'Ledebil'.

Just to explain, on construction sites on 'busier' sections of roads, the accumulated vehicles are guided through the section with a 'safety car'. This vehicle is called Ledebil and if you're supposed to follow the Ledebil, it will say 'Folg meg' in big letters on the roof display.

But now back to 'the luck'. We were directly on the parking lot that leads directly to Borgund Stave Church via the most spectacular part of Kongsveien.

Already 1000 years ago, this path was used as an east-west connection and in the 18th century, it was led through hairpin bends with a 25% gradient and in the 19th century, with a 20% gradient. We continued through pristine forests until the stave church appeared in front of us.

The stave church is the second oldest after Urnes and very authentically preserved. It gives you a good feeling of what it was like to attend a mass in this church in the 12th century.

We returned via another very beautiful hiking trail that King Sverre took many centuries ago with his entourage.

At 7 p.m., we continued on our way to Oslo with a detour to a crater that hit more than 550 million years ago. Unfortunately, even with a lot of imagination, the 5 km wide crater could no longer be recognized, so the excursion is probably only interesting with a guide or for geologists.

Finally, at midnight, we reached the Ekeberg campsite with a view over Oslo.
