Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
455 km from Trondheim to Trondheim, about 8 h 20 of riding. On the way it passes Røros Mining Town and the Circumference, Røros Mining Town Cultural Landscapes and, Femundshytta and back through Røros Mining Town Cultural Landscapes and. The stored terrain estimate reaches about 850 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available. It suits an unhurried touring pace.
Trondheim was once Nidaros, the capital of Norway in the Viking Age, and the story of the country's conversion to Christianity runs through it. King Olav Haraldsson, later Saint Olav, was buried here after he fell at Stiklestad in 1030, and the cathedral that grew over his grave became the destination of pilgrims from across northern Europe. Nidaros Cathedral is still the biggest medieval building in Norway, its west front crowded with carved saints, and the pilgrim paths still arrive from the south and east.

Trondheim is where the day begins. Next is Røros Mining Town and the Circumference.
Røros is a town built on copper, and it looks like it. Miners began digging here in 1644, and for more than three centuries the works shaped everything: the dark timber houses with turf roofs, the great heaps of slag that sit at the edge of town, and the smelter that still stands in the middle. The mines finally closed in 1977, and the whole town centre and a wide ring of countryside around it, called the Circumference, are now a World Heritage Site. The Circumference matters because the mining company had rights over wood, water and farmland in that ring, and the landscape was organised to feed the works.

Røros Mining Town and the Circumference comes up about 155 km into the recorded legs. Next is Røros Mining Town Cultural Landscapes and.
Røros is a copper town built on cold and patience. It sits at the high end of the Gauldal valley, near the Swedish border, in a bleak, open plateau where winters are among the hardest in southern Norway, and the old wooden houses crowd together as if sharing warmth. UNESCO listed it in 1980, and it is one of the few places where you can see a mining town as it grew rather than as a museum.
