Want to get out of the city without spending the whole weekend? Frosta lies right across the fjord from Trondheim and is perfect for a day trip. Here is a suggestion.
From Trondheim across the fjord
If you come by RIB, we can stop at Steinvikholm on the way.
Morning: history
Start at Tinghaugen, where the Frostating was held in the Middle Ages. Continue to Logtun church and drive out along the causeway to Tautra with the monastery ruins from 1207 and the modern Mariaklosteret. With a guide: Viking laws, churches and monasteries (about 2 hours, May–September).
Lunch
Pop into the Arntzen bakery at Frostavegen 1752 on Frosta and taste the well-known Arntzen bun. Or eat on Tautra: Klostergården on Tautra has a restaurant, microbrewery and farm shop.
Afternoon: nature
Choose between The bird safari on Tautra (about 1.5 hours), Tronnobergskammen with a campfire (about 2 hours) or an e-bike tour (3–4 hours).
Evening: the fjord
Finish with RIB tour in the evening light, or gather the group for dinner in a boathouse with Beyond the Fjord. We pick you up in Trondheim at 16:00 and take you safely home again.
