Hiking guide for the pilgrimage route to Nidaros. Now in English! A full description of the route between Oslo and Trondheim. Whoever embarks on the 643-kilometer pilgrimage route from Oslo to Trondheim follows in the footsteps of the medieval pilgrims who made their way to the tomb of Saint Olav. Nidaros, the ancient name of Trondheim, was one of the four most important pilgrimage sites of the Middle Ages, along with Santiago de Compostela, Rome and Jerusalem. Since 1997, this route has been made accessible again for today's hikers. The popularity of the Olav’s way is growing, but compared to the route to Santiago, it is an oasis of tranquillity. The path crosses the entire 'drop' of Norway, a land full of pure air and endless nature. The hiker walks through farmland, alongside Norway's largest lake, through the wooded Gudbrandsdal which gets higher and narrower, crosses the rugged Dovrefjell plateau and descends to the Trondheimfjord and Nidaros Cathedral. This guide for the Olav’s way is in full colour, richly illustrated and contains: Described stages (including the western route) Maps of the entire route (1 : 50,000) Elevation profiles Background stories Listing of accommodations, shops cafés and restaurants.

Helt siden isen langs norskekysten forsvant for om lag 10-12000 år siden, og de første menneskene la på vei nordover med sine spinkle farkoster, har det vært mennesker på Steigen. Det finnes få steder i Norge som har så mange synlige spor etter steinalderbosetting, bronse-alderrøyser, gravkamre, store bautasteiner og minner etter mektige jernalderhøvdinger i form av ringtun, gravhauger, nausttufter og oldssaker.

Kulturminnene i Steigen, som i hovesak er konsentrert om et begrenset område på Engeløya, har en usedvanlige opplevelseverdi langt over det vanlige. Med det blotte øyet kan du suge til deg inntrykk fra en fjern fortid, i et landskap som i hovedtrekk har vært det samme i tusener av år.

This book is the culmination of his experiences and showcases Garcia's unique ability to delve beneath the surface of Japanese culture to describe its quirky and deep spiritual underpinnings. This collection of essays and beautiful photographs will appeal to his worldwide fan base—including those who devoured his previous bestsellers, A Geek in Japan and Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life—Japanophiles, armchair travellers and anyone with an interest in cultural and travel memoirs. The Magic of Japan features Garcia's keen observations on a wide variety of cultural topics: Japanese behavioral traits, including non-verbal communication, hansei (self-reflection), heijoshin (a calm mind) and shoshin (childlike openness) How Japan's geography and history have shaped its culture—its natural disasters, scarce resources, centuries of isolation and its feudal past. Japanese idiosyncrasies, ranging from food traditions and absurd jobs to a love of queues. The Japanese spirit, as evidenced in traditional art, manga and attitudes to women. Shintoism and Buddhism, looking at temples, festivals, rituals and how religious beliefs pervade popular culture, as seen for example in Studio Ghibli's movie Spirited Away. Japan's dark side, including crime, the yakuza, adultery, bullying and suicide. The book ends with a gloriously random selection of all things Garcia considers especially magical about Japan—from izakaya to shiitake mushrooms, summer fireworks and green tea!
