Trip Summary
While driving up to Sognefjellet from Lom, we came by Elvesæter in Leirdalen. Spotting Sagasøylen (or Eidvollsmonumentet) by Wilhelm Rasmussen right next to the road, we made a short stop to have a look. This over 30 meters high column -- in "the middle of nowhere" -- is definitely a sight, also with its interesting history (originally planned as a monument to be erected in Oslo in front of Stortinget, it eventually survived due to the private initiative of Elvesæter hotel).
