TRAMWAY FOR LIAN
Read moreThis old tramway resembles a small country train that runs out of steam a little as it climbs the hill through the woods, before arriving at the terminus. From the semicircular outdoor terrace, there's a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside. Below you'll find a small lake, with a tiny island in the middle, spiked with a single tree. When the weather's fine, it's a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing. It's also the starting point for many hikes in the Bymarka nature reserve, a must-see if you're spending several days in Trondheim!
URSKOG-HØLANDSBANEN TERTITTEN - STEAM TRAIN
Read moreEvery Sunday from mid-June to the end of August, a small steam train sets off through the valley for a nostalgic and... slow journey.

Today this tourist route runs for 3 km along the banks of Norway's most important river, the Glomma. A nice activity about 30 minutes from Oslo.
