The programme

We leave Trondheim port on a coach and drive North-West on a lovely panoramic road along the Trondheimfjord.
Our destination is the town of Stiklestad, where a historic battle took place in 1030, one of the most famous in Norwegian history where King Olaf II of Norway was killed and then canonised by the Catholic church.
Once there, we take part in a guided tour of Stiklestad to learn more about the history of King Olaf II and about the famous battle where he died.
During our visit, we also admire the church of Stiklestad, a stone building built in 1180 on exactly the spot where King Olaf II fell in 1030.
Next you will have the chance to participate in the Viking competition, a summer camp with fun activities such as archery, crossbow, leg wrestling and other competitive games. Children will love the playground, the history-in-action, and the surrounding area. Adults will love the humorous anecdotes and evocative tales from Viking sagas.
