[QUOTE="lovingkindness, post: 99067, member: 7570"] [color=#008000][size=5][b]Guide Books: St Olaf's Way[/b][/size][/color] [color=#008000][i][b]Hi there, Samiam[/b][/i][/color]. Here are some guide books currently available for hiking the St Olaf Way. They are listed on both the CSJ Norway website and the Pilegrimssenter, Norway website. I recommend that you introduce yourself to both organisations and explain your situation. They are very friendly :D Cheers, [color=#008000][i][b]Lovingkindness[/b][/i][/color] [color=#008000][b]CSJ Norway[/b][/color] [url]http://www.pilegrim.no/news.php?id=1113547079[/url] [b]Luthen, Eivind.

[i]Pilgrim Road to Nidaros, The: St Olav's Way - Oslo to Trondheim [/i](A Cicerone Guide). 2002. ISBN: 1-85284314-2. [Revised edition due in 2013][/b] ‘A walker's guide to the 643km medieval pilgrim road from Oslo to Nidaros (Trondheim) cathedral, where Saint Olav (king of Norway, and responsible for much of the conversion of the country to christianity) was buried. His shrine was the focus not only of many miracles but also of the fourth most important pilgrim route in Europe after Rome, Jerusalem and Santiago de Compestela, and from the tenth century until the Reformation it attracted pilgrims not only from Norway and the rest of Scandinavia but from Russia, the Baltic countries, Germany and Britain as well. Cleared and waymarked in 1997 The route has been 'rediscovered', and is being actively promoted as a walking pilgrim path.This is the only guide to the route in English. As well as giving directions for walking the route, the book also provides information on places of interest along the way and the history of the pilgrimage, a list of suggestions for further reading and a glossary of geographical and useful terms.’ (Book description, Amazon.com) [b]Thue, Stein.On the Pilgrim Way to Trondheim. Tapir Academic Press; 2 edition (November 1, 2008) ISBN-10: 8251923034 ISBN-13: 978-8251923033[/b] ‘After Norway's patron saint, Olav Haraldsson, fell at the battle of Stiklestad in 1030, Nidaros (now Trondheim) and the grave of Saint Olav became a destination for people seeking salvation. Today's pilgrim paths give the contemporary wanderer a sense of what pilgrims in the Middle Ages went through on their way to the shrine in Trondheim. All today's paths will take you to sites and historical monuments that relate to the life and works of Saint Olay. This booklet is a guide for modern pilgrims who want to follow in the footsteps of those earlier wanderers. All the paths and routes to Trondheim are described with accompanying pictures and maps. You will find brief texts about Saint Olav, Stiklestad, Nidaros Cathedral and the medieval landscape, as well as useful information about today's Trondheim and its many attractions.’ [Book description, Amazon.com] [/QUOTE]
