 Gudbrandsdal: Hundorp and Sjoa, Norway. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com
Heading north from Lillehammer, the E6 and the railway leave the shores of Lake Mjøsa for the Gudbrandsdal, the 160-kilometre-long river valley which was for centuries the main route between Oslo and Trondheim.
Enclosed by mountain ranges, the valley has a comparatively dry and mild climate, and its fertile soils have nourished a string of farming villages since Viking times – though there was some industrialization at the beginning of the twentieth century.
The first part of the Gudbrandsdal is fairly uninspiring, but after 70km the road swings past HUNDORP, where a neat little quadrangle of old farm buildings has been tastefully turned into a roadside tourist stop, with a café, art gallery and shop.
