Landingslag Tour to Land, Norway (2005)
Travel back to the late-spring of 2005 with this warm collection of memories from the Landingslag visit to Land, Norway. The journey begins in Oslo and takes us to the heart of the Land district, where cherished connections between Norway and its emigrant descendants come alive through banquets, guided tours, farm visits, and a boat trip on Randsfjorden. Highlights include a visit to the Storting, the Lands Museum, prehistoric writings on stone, historic churches at Nordsinni and Fluberg, and a festive final banquet at Ankalterud.
From Dokka, the adventure continues with the Peer Gynt Tour, a breathtaking journey through some of Norway’s spectacular scenery. Travel through Lillehammer, Gudbrandsdalen, and Lom, marvel at the Briksdal Glacier and Jostedal ice fields, ride the legendary Flåm-Myrdal Railway, and soak in the beauty of Sognefjord, Hardangerfjord, and Bergen. This video is a heartfelt tribute to heritage, fellowship, and the enduring bond between Norway and those who carry its spirit across the world.
