\nBetween heaven and earth, between northern and southern Norway, lies a city with the wonderful name of Trondheim (in Russian, it's even called Trondheim). Its very name evokes a certain northern, Nordic austerity. Long before my trip, Trondheim itself had attracted me by its very name. And when I started digging through guidebooks, it turned out my sixth sense, attuned to preparedness, hadn't failed me: the city is home to one of Norway's main cathedrals, built in a stunning Gothic style.<\/p>\n

I decided to add photos of one of Norway's many waterfalls to this post. It's located near the city, about 150-200 kilometers away. \ud83d\ude42 But there was no point in making it a separate post. So, it is what it is. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Nidaros Cathedral is a Lutheran church, as I have already said, one of the most significant in Norway, built in 1300 on the burial site of Olaf the Saint, who died in battle in 1030.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

You've probably already noticed my weakness for European Gothic architecture \ud83d\ude42 So, when choosing a hotel, I couldn't resist checking in near the cathedral. This allowed us to leisurely stroll through Trondheim with the stroller and our dog and take a good look at the cathedral. The photo shows my wife, children, and Marshall \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Having walked around the building on three sides, I had no idea how majestic the main fa\u00e7ade was. It was absolutely fantastic! I didn't go inside, and I deeply regret it now.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Otherwise, I didn't find any other notable sights in the city in the guidebooks. It's a quiet, cozy provincial town. Judging by what we briefly saw, both walking and driving, it's very comfortable to live in. It's unhurried and the buildings are low-rise. So, after another half hour of walking, we pile into the car and begin driving north. Over the next two days, we'll at least partially drive and sail across another characteristic Norwegian road, Route 17.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Route 17 is distinctive and famous for its apparent seaward course. Unlike the Atlantic Road, however, it doesn't cross bridges; instead, it zips from island to island on ferries, offering truly breathtaking views. Trust me, it's a truly captivating experience, and I'll tell you all about it in a future post. Meanwhile, before reaching one of the turns off Route 17, the Formofossen waterfall thunders off to the side. It was here that I caught a rainbow by the tail.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

A wonderful river flowing through a plain... yes, here in Norway we have "flat" landscapes too. The mountains here are not high, so the rivers are mostly calm. So, the river, flowing through the plain, suddenly ends, thundering into the riverbed, but five meters below. The sun casts a bright rainbow of positivity!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Downstream. The mountains here aren't high, more like hills. So, rushing down the cliff, the river assumes the appearance of a calm, flat river.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Such a wonderful waterfall, Formofossen. It's called a "waterfall" because compared to its taller and mightier brothers, it seems so tiny. Although it does have a rather wild nature.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

That's all for now. Right after Fosmofossen, we'll take Route 17. I'll tell you about that in the next post. Or maybe not. \ud83d\ude42 Anyway, there's plenty to talk about. :)))<\/p>\n

Oh, by the way, what do you think...for clarity, should I include an image of the track on Google Earth? Or a hat?<\/p>\n
