Odds Mountain

At the top of Oddsfjellet lies the grave
to the Viking Orvar Odd.

Text by Arnt Olav Klippenberg

Odd's grave lies at the top of Oddsfjellet. It was blown up by lightning in the 1970s, but some of the stones have been put back in place in recent times. In 1844, the local priest excavated the grave. The artefacts that were found are now at the Viking Age Museum in Oslo. The walk up to the top takes around 15-20 minutes. The view is fantastic. There is a car park by county road 33. The trail is secured with steps on the mountainside and sturdy cables.
