After spending some time up in the mountains, I continued the journey east, driving over the Vena-Bugns Fjellemountain path and down on the other side
0:30
It's a pretty scenic drive with the occasional flock of sheep blocking the road
0:34
The farmers usually let the sheep roam around freely in the summer before taking them down to the farm in the fall time
0:42
They become so used to seeing cars that they seem to forget the potential danger
0:51
The plan for the day is to drive towards the mining town of Furoros
0:56
but I'll do some stops along the way, starting with the sun
0:59
Solia church. This timber church was built in 1738 in a so-called long church architecture style
1:07
and is well worth a visit. There's a small isteri here, which is a cheesemaker, making real brown cheese
1:39
So I'm going to go in and have a look, see what they got
1:44
Brown cheese or goat cheese is made from whey and cream and then caramelized to get its brown color
2:27
So it will just a mucy again. And muced we up. And cooked a time's time, then putt we up in flutten again
2:37
So it'll be like... Caloribombe. Yeah, not. Very high fat percent. I tipper that it's on
2:49
20, 25 percent, I think I. Thank, thank. Thank. So, we draw it down here, see you dripple, render it, or this are we cladder
3:04
Okay. This of we cladders, so it's it done. It's a ready, yeah. Okay. Okay
3:09
After the cheese has reached to the right texture, it is stuffed into wooden molds of different sizes
3:17
It's quite labor-intensive to make just one brown cheese like this, but it makes every cheese into a piece of art
3:26
Oh yeah. This is actually very exclusive, for that there's only one form in the whole world
3:37
And that's Soljahkirka. Wow. Wow. That's a local geiter also. Yeah, yeah
3:47
My sister's my, Sogern, have the most, and the neighbors have, total, about 250 yeliter. Yeah
3:56
Very good. Very rich flavor. Very rich flavor Very rich
4:34
and there's some pretty nice viewpoints along the road here and there's one here that is
4:40
called Solberg Plassen place of Solberg and it's named after a Norwegian painter called Harald
4:47
Solberg and in 1914 he painted a painting which is called Winter Night in the mountains
4:55
and could have been painted from this exact spot here I continued driving north on National Road 27 with the Rondana National Park to my left
5:17
Driving on these back roads means that there is very little traffic and you get the feeling of being very close to nature
5:25
The landscape is dotted with mountains, lakes, cows, farms and fields. I decided to make a stop by Foldard Bugdutyun The word bigdutune can best be translated as a rural museum
6:22
It's basically a collection of all the houses from the countryside, gathered together to be preserved and exhibited to the public
6:31
There are many of these big de tunes around in Norway, and it's a great way to gain a better understanding
6:36
about the purpose of each building and how people lived in rural Norway
6:41
back in the old days. After about 160 kilometers and many stops that day, I finally drive into the mining town of Röros in the late evening
7:54
And the next day I start exploring the town. But more about that in the next episode, when I visit an old copper mine and drive to Dovre National Park to look for Mosque Ox
8:08
But end up finding a trawl instead
