Trondheim is located at the mouth of the Nidelva River on the banks of the Trondheim Fjord and is the third largest city in Norway. By the way, Trondheim was the first capital of Norway from 1030 to 1217.
We started our walk from the old city bridge (Gamle bybro) by the way, they say that if you make a wish while standing between two gates, it will come true. The bridge was built in 1685 and was of strategic importance, connecting the Christiansten fortress with the city. Since then, the bridge has undergone many renovations. But the details of the mechanism of those times, when it was still lifting, with graceful red arches, are still preserved.
The bridge offers a wonderful view of the visiting card of Trondheim, the quarter of old port houses along the Nidelva River. Colored wood, creaking piles, and the cries of seagulls. There is a special atmosphere here and you want to carefully examine each fragment. And only after looking more closely do you understand that these fabulous houses are residential and there are apartments in them where the townspeople live. And on the streets behind them are cafes, shops, bars and restaurants, which serve as an excellent addition to the quarter.
The weather was gloomy and on the way to the Nidaros Cathedral (Nidarosdomen) it began to rain. But soon the sun came out again and we were able to see the most significant monument of Norwegian Gothic in all its glory. Wooden and frame churches are more popular in Norway, so looking at the cathedral in Trondheim you get the feeling that you are in England or France. A very unusual and majestic building with many interesting elements.
The church at the burial place of St. Olaf (1075) was replaced in the XII-XIV century by the existing Nidaros Cathedral. The cathedral has been reconstructed and renovated many times. Coronations of Norwegian monarchs traditionally take place in the cathedral.
Then we walked along the central square of the city, a nice and very bright street with umbrellas, and climbed the hill with the Kristiansten festning. From the hill, there is an excellent view of the city, the quarter of old houses, and the cathedral.
We also drove to the embankment and saw an interesting railway drawbridge (Skansen jernbanebru) we were lucky and a train was just walking along it!
And we completed our walk near the TV tower (Tyholttårnet). By the way, there is a chain restaurant Egon in the TV tower and you can have a bite to eat there with a view of the city, which we will definitely do next time!
Trondheim has a maritime climate with mild winters and cool summers. And the weather can change several times a day. Our walk began on a gloomy morning, a warm summer sun came out in the afternoon, and in the evening a strong wind rose, thunderclouds flew in and even a rainbow appeared!
