Exploring the Kingsroad

Grihamar milestone

Description

Grihamar milestone can be found along a 300 m detour from Kongevegen.

It was a distance marker for those carrying mail. The postal service was established in 1647.

Grihamar milestone is from 1687.

Hence, this road-heritage monument is over 100 years older than Kongevegen across Filefjell.

To get there, cross Olshøbrue bridge and walk towards the E16 along the Øye Stave Church – Tyinkrysset section.
