Train from Oslo to Trondheim

28 July, 2017 ~ Train to Trondheim!
Train left Oslo SentralStasjon at exactly 8:02AM, headed northward to Trondheim where we arrived at exactly 2:30PM. The country is magnificent!

We sped through magnificent forests, past fairytale villages and hillside farms, as well as alongside raging rivers, pristine lakes and fjords. We climbed to above the timberline at Dovre Plateau (1100 meters), where man hearty Norwegian backpackers disembarked - some of whom looked to be at least our age. We passed by Lillehammer, site of the 1994 Winter Olympics.

Trondheim is the third largest city in Norway, situated in the District of Trøndelag. With a population of 190,000 its moniker is “a small city with big experiences.” Solfrid is the head administrator of operations for all of Trøndelag. Her staff coordinates all police, emergency, etc. (i.e., all 911 calls).
