Trondheim, Stavanger and Lillehammer

[PeeAndDee]

Hi everybody

We are touring Scandinavia from April through into June and are just finalising our route planning including campsites and things to do or see particularly in Norway.

Would appreciate any advice or thoughts that you can share with us on the attractions of the above towns for campsites, things to see and do and any other attractions not to be missed.

We are not sure how you would describe Trondheim, Stavanger and Lillehammer with regards to size but we prefer smaller towns to the large cities and like places with a bit of history or scenery rather than cities which all appear the same as each other, so please feel free to tell me if these places are to visited or avoided

Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter; went to Lillehammer in June 2014 just so that I could go down the bobsleigh track and that’s all we did in that area. If that’s your reason for going there then contact before you go. I just turned up! It worked out great, but could have been a disaster.
Nice campsite nearby, not sure about town.
Thinking of going back to Norway in June this year, but need a plan,
Regards. Ls

I think 17th May is Norway's national day, so everywhere is busy, lots of American car and bike clubs go camping for the week/weekend. Only been there on a bike years ago so no problems getting booked in. Was -4 at night around that time, furthest north we went was Hunderfossen for the weekend, just north of Lillehammer. There is a troll theme park there where we had the bike rally.

I spent a few weeks having a look round southern Norway.. I see you have Stavanger on your list so it would be well worth look over to the lysefjord... there is the iconic pulpit rock at the western end and that famous boulder wedged in the fissure at the eastern end (whose name escapes me atm )
the pulpit rock isn't to bad a walk but kjerag (its come back but not sure about the spelling ) rock is a bit of a hike..
the southern area basically has a few very scenic valleys running north south from the coast..
stunning country... hope you have a great trip.
campsites were not cheap , in season the prices can be eyewatering, but I did quite a bit wilding..
