The route is still under development and the guide will be published late 2025/early 2026. The map of the route on this page is a temporary map (source: Pilegrimsleden).
A spectacular route full of culture and history along Norway's fjord coast, from Egersund to Trondheim. This pilgrimage route goes along what used to be Norway's most important road: the North Sea. After all, travelling by sea used to be safer and faster than travelling by land. Pilgrims also used this route a lot. Partly by sailing boat and partly by land. Nowadays, this old pilgrim route is very suitable to travel by bicycle.
