    An old road from Sweden to Norway

    Follow in the footsteps of pilgrims and tradesmen crossing the national border in Skarddøra, along the shiny surface of the lake Selbu and through the forests of Malvik to Trondheim. Romboleden can certainly be said to be an old road for pilgrims, traders and officials who for centuries have been trading and exchanging culture between Norway and Sweden.

    In Skarddøra, on the Swedish border, two old pilgrim paths meet up; the great Romboleden and the Jämt-Norway route. From here, via Stugudalen, and down through Tydalen and Neadalen towards Selbu, the path goes through fantastic areas with beautiful views of the mountain masses such as Sylan, Skardsfjella, Skarvan, Fongen, Bringen and Rensfjellet.

    A wonderful nature experience

    Towards Selbu you will experience varying scenery, from open mountains, lush forest landscape to fertile agricultural landscape. You will pass Selbu church, which probably has had a central impact on the medieval pilgrims. The road to the pilgrim destination goes via the forests of Malvik, to the Saksvikkorsen overlooking the spire of Nidaros Cathedral.
