Cultural Heritage
Skjervsura
Situated along Valldalsleden
Here, St. Olav cleared a path through the valley
When Olav traveled up the valley in 1028/29, he and his men were helped by the people who lived on the farm of Grønning to clear the way through Skjervsura, a very rocky and impassable part of the trail through the valley. Before this, it had not been possible to get through there for either people or horses. As a sign of gratitude, Olav said that the grain on this site should never freeze, and according to locals it never frozen since.
