Signs

The St Olavsleden trail is signposted to make it easier for pilgrims like you to find their way.
You will see the following signs as you make your way from Selånger to Trondheim. The signage does not guarantee that you will find your way, as a sign could disappear, so you need to take a map with you and check your location. But the signs are there to help you. You are recommended to walk the St Olavsleden between 15 May and 15 October. Good luck!

Keep distance signs

During the pandemic, we would remind you to keep a distance in the countryside too. You will find these signs along the St Olavsleden, and you and your pilgrim companions must take responsibility for reducing the spread of infection.
