Passing through Gol, Hallingdal, Norway

A brief video, and a pretty boring one, of a car ride through Gol in Hallingdal in Norway. I'm uploading it because it shows - towards the end - the copy of the famous stave church in this district. The original is at the Folk Museum in Oslo - I've posted a video of that previously. It came from this district, but was given to King Oscar II as a gift, pulled apart and put back up in Oslo in what later became the Museum. A copy was built at put up here at Gol ... although not on the original location. As you see it's in rather a strange spot, not very idyllic ... ! :-D

I also posted the video to show the difference between the "highlands" and the relative lowlands in this country. This was filmed the same weekend as the previous video I posted - the first weekend of May 2011 - but as you see, down in Gol the trees had gotten so much further in their greening. Fascinating. :-)

@The300mans No, I'm from Bærum, but live in Oslo. Some friends and I drove through Gol on our way home from Hemsedal where we had spent the weekend at a cabin. :-)
