Free entrance is always a good sign, recommend anyone visiting Trondheim to make their way up if able to see this gem of cultural heritage. Just be careful with clambering up the stairs as they are a little steep.

A beautiful place to hang out with friends and family. A breathtaking view of the Fjord and the Nidelva river. Benches and desks are provided at various locations to relax. A restaurant is there inside the Fortress. The walls of the Fortress are very tall. No proper fencing. So, you have to be very careful with the children. There are QR codes provided at various locations. Scanning them would take to the History of the Fortress, given in both English and Norwegian. No entry fee! The nearest bus stop is 10 minutes by walk. Car parking facility just outside the main entrance. Fireworks during New Year is awesome:)

This is a well preserved Fortress overlooking the old town of Trondheim. Well maintained and with lots of information boards, giving you some of the history of the place. Great views from up here on a good day. It’s had a long history, and was used as a fort up until WW2 when Germans used it as a base, and also as a place of execution of resistance fighters. One place that could have had more information was the keep itself. Big, beautiful white block, but not much info about it. Good clean toilets.

For free and worth the visit. Enter the white building - it is worth the effort!

Nice fortress located on the top of a mountain with good views to Trondheim. It’s important to know when it is opened, not always.
