Description
With a pilgrim passport, in which you collect stamps along the way at accommodations and churches, you can get an Olavsbrev (Olavs letter) in the pilgrim center of Trondheim. A diploma for completing the tour. You are entitled to the Olavsbrev if you have at least cycled the last 200 km (or walked 100 km). The pilgrim passport with the dated stamps provides proof of this. The passport is also useful to present at accommodations that offer a discount for pilgrims.
The passport also grants you free admission to Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim. Just make sure to get it stamped with the last “golden” stamp in the Nidarosgård.
In addition to Nidaros Cathedral, other churches and attractions along the pilgrimage routes also offer discounts or free admission upon presentation of a pilgrim passport.
Please note: the passport is personal, so if you are travelling with several people, everyone needs their own passport. If you cycle or walk to Oslo, you can use your passport to obtain the Hallvardsbrev there.
