Mum, I saw a reindeer!

The third road trip in the surroundings of Trondheim. This time heading up north to see stone-age carvings, waterfalls and reindeers.

Steinkjer was the first destination of the day. From there to the "reindeer of Bøla" (Norwegian Bølareinen), which are the rock carvings in the forest in Bøla.
The one showing a reindeer is the best preserved of all, allegedly, stone-age old carvings.
The engraved rocks are located in the middle of a pine forest practically under a waterfall of the river Bøla. The lake Ståsa (Norwegian Ståsavatnet) is only a few hundred meters far. So, a very beautiful scenario.

Although the day was rainy and cold, we drove further north for more waterfalls. For our surprised we passed by some reindeer farm at the Ståsavatnet.
Really cool to see them in the nature!

A few kilometers further, between the villages of Ståsa and Grong, we arrived at the Formofossen waterfalls, a real spectacle of the nature.


It's been amazing traveling in Norway and being able to see such wonders.


Well! We finished the day eating a good pizza in Steinkjer.

Enough of road trips. The last days will be spent in Trondheim, including New Year's Eve. Party!
