The Nidaros Way, also known as St. Olav's Way (Norwegian Bokmål: Pilegrimsleden, Nynorsk: Pilegrimsleia), is a group of Christian pilgrim routes to Nidarosdomen in Trondheim, Norway. They are also used for non-religious slow tourism.
UnderstandThe pilgrim routes have a long history, since the medieval times when Trondheim, at that time called Nidaros, was the religious centre of much of northern Europe, but have been revived in later years.
TrailsFrom Oslo through Gudbrandsdalen via Gjövik and Oppdal to Trondheim.
