The old vicarage in Lom was situated here. To many
travellers, it served as a “hotel”, too. For instance,
famous Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen stayed
here. In 1936 the main building burnt down, and
Lom Municipality County decided to restore the
original look of exterior with a modern school inside. Today you can find Lom Library, Stave Church
Centre, Voluntary Centre, and a souvenir shop with
local produce in Loar.

The Bøvra River flows from the highest points of

The rock is a memorial to the famous Norwegian poet
Tor Jonsson (1916 – 1951), who was born and grew up

the Norwegian Critics Prize for Literature post mortem.
Several other authors have their roots in Lom. Knut
Hamsun spent his childhood in Lom, and was confirmed in Lom Stave Church. Vera Henriksen was born in
Oslo, but moved to Lom later. Poet Olav Aukrust is from
Lom, too. You can visit his home place on the Nordgard
Aukrust farm. On Nordgard Aukrust, there is
a shop with a large selection of ecological herbs and spices, own herbary,
and an herb room – “urteri”.

Vassvaglen – water roost

An old proverb in Lom says, “Give us sun, our Lord,
and we shall provide ourselves with water”. Water was a
scarce resource, hence it was important not to waste it.
The water roost illustrates how life-giving
water
was led down from the mountains
with the help of wooden irrigation
canals. Canals could either be
troughs nailed together (as here)
or pine stems hollowed out, the
latter being the most common.
The roost as well as most of the
newer buildings in Lom was
designed by architect Torbjørn
Fjellstad, and erected by Lom
Municipality in 1985.

The National Park Village is situated under the powerful

of Fossbergje originates from the rock sticking out
above the waterfall. The centre of the village has
grown on both sides of the river. The first private enterprise here
was a mill built around 1770. The first village store came about in
1870, where Kiwi grocery store stands today.

Route 1a keeps going down the forest road (Hansvegen). Cross the Læsa brook and take to the left
until you come to the old farm Skjæsar. Follow that
waterway to the bifurcation at the start of the route.

From roundabout in the center, go 150 meters east along highway 15.
Before you reach Fossheim Tourist Hotel, take to the right and go up the
Ullstadvegen Str. In the middle of a U-swing the path turns to the field.
The path goes then straight up the field and to the fenced pasture. Turn
right in the path fork to follow route 1a (in the next path fork you can take
a short route 1d towards Nonshaug.) The path runs steeply up through
the spruce forest and goes by a water post with drinking water. The path
passes the tree line and goes further to Skutlan. Now you are at the
highest point of the route (1070 m.a.s.l).

Trail to Lomseggen
Bordvassvegen is a cultural path where you
follow an old waterway and get to know
with history and traditions around irrigation
culture in Lom. The trip goes on the sunny
side of the gentle slopes and is a nice walk
even if the weather is not at its best.

From the roundabout in Lom center you cross the bridge over the
Bøvra River. Leaving the Norwegian Mountain Museum on your left
side, you go up the road and pass by Storstabburet (the Big Barn).
Go straight forward until you come out to the asphalted Solsidevegen
road. 200 meters after the elegant Sygard Andvord farm, the trail
turns to the right. There are signs to Lomseggen, Bordvassvegen and
Tor Jonsson’s House. After about 300 m, Bordvassvegen trail (red
tagging) and route to Lomseggen (yellow tagging) split.
The trail to Lomseggen goes right above the fenced pasture on
Nordgard Andvord and proceeds to a forest road through a sharp
right turn. The path soon takes a “shortcut” and comes quickly up
to the upper forest road – follow this road almost to the end. The
trail now splits from the forest road. Up on the crag, the route turns
to the west and crosses a creek with good drinking water. Now
you are inside the Breheimen National Park. The route passes by
Smithbua stone hut at 1150 m.a.s.l. and goes into a big bow up to
the front point of Lomseggen mountain.

From the roundabout in the center of Lom, you cross the bridge
over the Bøvra River at the waterfall. Turn right and down to the
river and go over the Log Bridge (Utleggsbru which is a part of
the Bergomsrunda Walk). Go along Bøvra to Tronooden Bridge
(the Bøvra River flows into the Otta River before the bridge). The
path goes up at the end of the bridge on the north side of the
river. The route meanders in the terrain in a sparse spruce forest
through small crags, sometimes a little steep. The path turns first
to the right and later to the northwest ridge. The tour to the top is
a small detour (150 m) from the marked path bifurcation down to
Grjotheim. The route from Grjotheim is not as steep as the one
you take from Tronooden. In the eastern direction, the route follows a waterway in the terrain becoming somewhat steeper along
a brook. The trail comes soon to an old cart track which leads you
through two big swings all the way down to the road. The road
back to Tronooden has little traffic and is easy to go on.
red tagging
From Lomseggen you can go the same way back or follow the route
further to the east. The route goes down the ridge, somewhat steep
at the tree line. The trail crosses a forest road before it turns to the
right. Follow the forest road a couple hundred meters before the
route continues on a steep path down through the forest. When you
are almost down, go through a gate, cross a residential road, go
straight down the Opphovsvegen Str and take to the left when you
come to Solsidevegen Str. Follow it in 200 meters and turn to the
right on the asphalted way in the direction of Lom center.
