I agree with that. The Germans I traveled with had the best guidebook. And sometimes a slightly different route. That also happened on the Camino Frances. The maps were definitely better.@A Sime In 2015 only the old Raju book was available, I think? We did the bit from Tønsberg to Oslo as a trial run and used the Norwegian book which was divided in two, and sadly that book too was pretty useless. Not just because it was so out of date and there had been a huge drive to promote and mark the trail, sometimes marking it differently from what was described in the book, but also because the maps made no sense. This year we have armed ourselves with the new Raju, which should be more up to date, and the second edition of a new Norwegian guide (we are both Norwegian so no language barrier) but they are heavy and we are making our own lists, stage plans and printouts. But everyone I have spoken to in the last year or two seem to agree that the Germans have the best guidebooks for Oslo-Trondheim, so if any Germans read this, try them first!
