Bjørnstjerne Bjørnsons Aulestad — Attraction in Gausdal

The parking for the house is at the bottom of a drive and the walk is uphill. If you have a disability you can park up the hill in front of the red barn. There is a cafe on site which serves cakes and light lunches. I had a toasted gluten-free sandwich and there's soup available. I loved the house but sadly, the tour times are subject to change and on Sunday the 1.30pm English tour was cancelled so I went on the 1pm Norwegian tour rather than pass up the chance to see the house. As I haven't any Norwegian, it was sad to hear the detail which the excellent guide went into without understanding anything she was saying. She asked me all through whether I had any questions and had allowed me to borrow the English guidebook before the tour, which was kind. But next time I may ask whether there's an English tour and if not, I'll come back...

Veldig koselig sted med fin hage og omgivelser. Litt bakst, drikke og småretter får man også kjøpt. Gledens gjærbakst er fantastisk god og de baker dem hver dag. Saftig gjærbakst.

Med gamle fine blomster.Her kan man kose seg...

Aulestad is het woonhuis van Nobelprijswinnaar (literatuur) Bjõrnstjerne Bjørnson. Hij is de tekstdichter van het Noorse volkslied. Voorvechter van de verzelfstandiging van Noorwegen. Het huis is ingericht zoals het was toen zijn weduwe overleed. Bezichtiging alleen met een rondleidende die in het Noors of Engels veel ik interessants vertelt. In de tuin is een speurtochtje voor kinderen. In de grote schuur is een tentoonstelling over vele facetten...
