AT#1021 - Travel to Central Norway: Trondheim and Trøndelag

Hear about travel in Central Norway as the Amateur Traveler talks with Magnus Haugen, a teacher and native of Trondheim, about an ambitious road trip through Trøndelag that combines Viking history, medieval towns, mountain adventures, fishing villages, and local food. Why should you visit Trøndelag? Magnus recommends the region for three things: its nature, its history, and its food. Although the mountains and fjords may not be as dramatic as those in western Norway or Lofoten, the region has its own beautiful landscapes. Trøndelag was named a European Region of Gastronomy in 2022, and it is home to important Viking sites and pilgrimage routes. Magnus proposes five destinations: Trondheim, Røros, Oppdal, Hitra, and Frøya, and Inderøu. He cautions that visiting all five in one week is ambitious and suggests either allowing more time or dropping one destination. This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast.
