After the rise after Meldal you’ll soon encounter a small cabin that is meant to provide shelter and accommodation for pilgrims and other wanderers. This place is called Olskastet and just beyond the cabin there is a water source. According to legend, St. Olav stopped here to drink. And under the present day road there is said to be a mark from the shoe of St. Olavs horse.
