Tankeplass – Artworks along the pilgrim trail

Eight beautiful art installations and sculptures can be found along the Gudbrandsdalsleden trail, in the County of Innlandet (municipalities of Gran, Vestre Toten, Østre Toten, Hamar, Lillehammer, Øyer, Ringebu and Nord-Fron). 
See pictures and map further down the page. 

Two new artworks will be installed In the municipalities of Ringsaker and Stange in 2026.

Natural stopping points

Each artwork serves as a stopping point where you can rest, reflect, and enjoy the view. The project highlights and revitalizes qualities and identities linked to landscapes and historic travel routes that have been abandoned in favor of modern infrastructure, breathing new life into areas of cultural and historical significance.

Initiators

The idea of Tankeplass was developed in 2016 by a cross-disciplinary group in the former Oppland County, and is now being carried forward by Innlandet County. Read more about the project (Norwegian text). 

Funding from Sparebankstiftelsen DNB and Sparebankstiftelsen Hedmark ensures that the project is carried out with high quality. Eivind Slettemeås is the project’s curator, and regional Pilgrim Centers contributes to the project.
