4.0The Saga Column(55 reviews) - Facinating History which can be found on Wikipedia. Monuments & Statues
This piece of art has a very interesting History that I knew nothing about until after I returned home and read more about it. Worth a visit if you are in Lom, Norway. FREE. The artist supported the Quisling Regime during World War 2. Nobody after the war wanted this impressive column which has carvings of Norwegian History from early times until the signing of the Norwegian Constitution in 1814. The hotel owner saved this art from being destroyed. Thank goodness he saw the importance of this piece of art and put politics aside and did the right thing: Thank you! The Hotel Elveseter looks great by the way. Wish we had stayed there Instead of the place we were the night before.See more..
This must be the most photographed motive in Tynset. Every day, there are travellers and tourists visiting the centre of Tynset to take a photograph of the world’s largest kick sled. Children of all ages, climb up to be photographed while they stand, sit or hang on the sled. It is 5.25 metres high, 3.72 metres wide and 11.6 metres long. This makes it five times larger than a normal kick sled. The factory NORAX which produces kick sleds is situated in Tynset – making Tynset the country’s main kick sled producer. If you come to Tynset in the winter-time, you may notice that only half the pavements are gritted so that the other half can be used by kick sleds. The idea to build a huge kick sled was the result of a television programme in 1994. Tynset arranged a day to mark the unveiling of the world’s largest kick sled. Later a group in Sandefjord built an even larger kick sled, but Tynset regained its world title again in 2011.See more..
