Why This Small Norwegian Municipality is More Interesting Than You'd Think. Ep 24 /357
Episode 24 of 357 takes me to Ål in Hallingdal. I visit Torpo stavkirke, one of Norway’s oldest stave churches with roots back to the late 1100s. Then I step inside Operalåven, a nearly 100-year-old barn with a permanent opera program – something you wouldn’t expect in rural Norway. I also walk parts of the 7.6 km Elvelangs trail, experiencing winter silence along the river in Ål. A journey about local stories, stillness, and taking the time to truly experience a place. Norwegian spoken, English subtitles included. 🔎 Highlights Episode 24 of the 357 Municipality Series Torpo Stave Church (12th century) Opera inside a historic barn Winter walk along Elvelangs trail Local culture in Hallingdal NO: Episode 24 tar meg med til Ål i Hallingdal.
