The Fairytale Trail at Hindrum Fjordsenter
A short, family-friendly forest walk with handcrafted wooden figures near the Trondheim Fjord
Wooden figures along the forest path
Borgåsen Fairytale Trail is a short, family-friendly hiking trail near Hindrum Fjordsenter in Norway. Along the path stand wooden figures carved by chainsaw artist Jostein Finseråsen, with motifs from fairy tales, fantasy and local stories.
The trail was developed in collaboration with Hindrum Skilag and is well suited for children, families and gentle walks in the forest near Trondheim. New figures may appear over time, adding small surprises for both locals and visitors.
If you are arriving by car, you can use parking at Revelltun at Brudalsveien 215 in Vanvikan.
Starting point at Borgåsen
The starting point for the Borgåsen Fairytale Trail is at Brudalsveien 182 in Vanvikan. From here you follow the trail into the forest, where figures, small details and local stories are found along the route.
One of the figures is connected to the story of the troll who threw stones at the old stave church. Details like this give the walk a light touch of local humour and tradition, without losing its character as a peaceful forest walk for the whole family.
