Shared Guided Tour in Borgund Stave Church and Vindhella

Borgund Stave Church is the best preserved stave church. Vindhella is one of the greatest engineering feats. Experience both wonders in the same tour!

At 12 pm you start the experience with entering the visitor centre with exhibitions, cafe, travel shop and toilets, before going to the Stave Church and experiencing the mysticism of the Middle Ages. This part is self-guided and you listen to the guide inside church. The ticket is valid for the whole day.

At 13.30 you'll meet our skilled guide outside the church (not same guide as in the stave church) and we walk up the east side of Vindhella to the top of the famous hairpin bends.

You will learn about the King's Road and the construction of the masterpiece that meanders on high walls down through the mountain pass. Hear about the road workers, about slave labor and punishment, about railings, stones and kings.

Also learn about the hill fort, ancient defense facilities, and the ambush by the medieval rebel army «Birkebeinerne».
