Verdal
The pilgrimage site Stiklestad is both an important stopover on the St.Olavsleden and a good starting point for hiking the 134 km towards Nidaros Cathedral and Trondheim. The saint king Olav Haraldsson fell here in the battle of 29 July 1030 and was sanctified the following year. As a consequence of this incident, there was a significant pilgrim traffic in the Middle Ages, primarily to his burial place in Nidaros / Trondheim, but also to his place of death at Stiklestad.
HISTORIC ACCOMMODATION
Stiklestad Cultural Centre has a medieval farm called Stiklastadir and pilgrims have a unique opportunity to stay in a historic setting in the Longhouse or the Guest loft.
The Guest Loft at Stiklastadir
The guest loft is a copy of a medieval building from the 13th century, which was a storeroom and accommodation for guests. The beds are a reconstruction from the Middle Ages and are shorter than today's standard. Multiple beds in the same room. There are toilet and shower facilities, and there is a small kitchenette for dry food. A sleeping bag must be brought as the house does not have its own bedding.
