Oslo to Ulvik, Norway

Today we drove on the R7 via the Hallingskarvet National Park from Oslo to Ulvik, Norway. It was a spectacular trip. We stopped at the Nore Stave Church which was remodeled to its current form between 1650 and 1750 (some parts date to 1200). The inside is covered with paintings of leaves, flowers, fruit, old testament scripts, and several figures (unfortunately photography was not allowed inside the church).

Then we stopped for an excellent lunch at Sevletunet, a historic farm from the 15th century. This is just one of the buildings we saw there.

We continued on over the mountains which still have plenty of snow and lakes covered with ice.
