The pilgrim path from Oslo to Eidsvoll is part of the historic Gudbrandsdalsleden and medieval main road to Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim.

The trail starts at St. Halvards plass in Oslo's Old Town, by the ruins of the medieval church. From here, the route goes through urban areas and out into more rural areas, but it can also be nice to take the metro or train out of the city and start the hike either at Stovner or Kløfta.

The landscape alternates between forests, streams and lakes, but mainly runs through Romerike's beautiful cultural landscape with high skies, rolling fields, well-kept farms and historic roads, including sections with preserved hollow roads that testify to many hundreds of years of travel.

Along the route there are three medieval churches; Skedsmo, Frogner and Hovin, several of which are dedicated to Saint Olav. Raknehaugen is a cultural monument from the Iron Age (about the year 550) and is the largest burial mound in the Nordic countries built of earth and about 75,000 logs. A nice place for a break or a dip in Ljøgottjern. It's nice to take a break at Sundbytunet to eat local food and drink the pilgrim beer from the local brewery.

A highlight is the arrival at the Eidsvoll building, where Norway's constitution was signed in 1814. Pilgrims with a valid passport can often get a free coffee at the nearby Café Standpunkt. The route also passes the beautiful medieval church in Eidsvoll and continues towards Minnesund and Innlandet.

There are a number of places that welcome hikers, from basic hostels in storehouses to well-equipped hotel rooms. It is also nice to take a day trip along the trail, from the train station at Kløfta and in the cultural landscape at Ullensaker with proximity to trains to/from Gardermoen.
