Barbara, clear blue sky every day, this is way more interesting!” said returning Norwegian economist, Finn Kyland, at last month’s rainy Starmus festival. Over the course of six days I watched and met 11 Nobel Laureates, half a dozen astronauts, a couple of Kings, one movie director and several other big-brained celebrities. It was quite an event, and my mind is still spinning from all the many speeches and activities across the city. Check out thelist.no/blog for more. Inspired by this epic event (well done NTNU for pulling it off!), and by a multitude of activities on the calendar over the next two months, The List set about compiling the ultimate guide to summer. We asked 100 of our readers, collaborators and contributors: what are you looking forward to this summer? The results were as predictable, confounding, unexpected and inspirational as you might imagine. Here we present them to you in our special issue 100 Things to Do This Summer. It was an honour to work with so many of you on this issue. Whether you are resident or a visitor, a student or a styreleder, Trondheim is your city and The List is your magazine. We’re always looking for more engagement from the community so if you have a story to share or a skill to show-off, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF SUMMER Words by Gulabuddin Sukhanwar Illustration by Marianne Selberg

e have entered the loveliest season of the year: summer. A time for holidays and travel, a path to our dreams, and the connection to our best experiences and memories. Trondheim is a city with a diverse cultural heritage and rich history. A city of differences that provides numerous opportunities in each of the different seasons to celebrate and enjoy. As always in summer, Trondheim is full of entertaining programmes, including several music festivals. These festivals make for unique opportunities for the visitors and tourists, as well as the locals to enjoy and explore. Last month, I attended Musikfest Trondheim, an arrangement of more than 70 concerts all over the city, working together to create a perfect musical mosaic of Trondheim. It was a melodic day with a concert in every corner of the city; in the restaurants and bars, parks, and many other public places- A fun and unique festival that brought people together with smiles, dancing, and friendship. I felt elated and fully realized that summer has arrived in Trondheim.

The festival itself was an opportunity for everyone in the city to feel included and to understand that, despite our differences, music is a common interest that can bring us closer and add light to our lives. A calm and relaxing song Å kunne æ skrive, from well-known Norwegian singer, Lars Bremnes, was performed by a talented young schoolgirl in one of the concerts at the Torvet, Trondheim City Square. It was very touching to see most of the people in the audience singing along... Og dettan fjellet va et flygel så spelte æ Chopin. Men æ mått ha øvd på forhånd ville du forstå? …and if this mountain was a grand piano then I would play Chopin. But I must have rehearsed first would you understand? While everyone was singing along I began to imagine that Trondheim's mountains were a piano on which we were all playing 9

Chopin, and in the background the entire city was singing with us. This was a perfect, live illustration of the Nietzsche quote “without music, life would be a mistake”. Perhaps the best thing about live music is that you can feel the music in your heart and soul, being entertained while getting a feeling of peace of mind. Then, an inner willingness appears to express those feeling with a cheerful and rhythmic movement – dancing. You don’t need anything else but music and summertime. Music is a key to happiness, a shortcut to a good mood, and it has the power to connect with our feelings and dreams. Even when we are alone and want to set up a private moment of delight, it’s the music that helps to lighten our moods and satisfy our souls. I encourage you to ask anyone what their three main interests are; the answer will almost always include music, because there is always a story behind the melody. A song which everyone can relate their own experience to. As Lou Rawls beautifully put it: “Music is the greatest communication in the world. Even if people don't understand the language that you're singing in, they still know good music when they hear it.” a THE SEVENTEENTH ISSUE

Pimp Your Hybel

Words by Bradley Kurtz | Photos by Jarle Hagen | Styling by Mari Aursand

Think of style, think of your wallet, think of the environment, think of Fretex. Is that new hybel or apartment not feeling like home yet? Never fear, Fretex is here.

ewer is not always better, especially when it comes to making a space your home. So, put those big box stores out of your mind and look no further than Fretex to get the look you want this year. Fretex, in cooperation with SiT (Student Welfare Organisation in Trondheim), is trying out a new programme to help you find your style this autumn. Beyond being able to shop for single pieces of furniture, Fretex will help supply everything you need to help furnish your new place. After choosing whether you want to buy or rent the furniture, simply pick the type of package based on desired budget and how many pieces of furniture you need. Then pick a style and/or a colour, and Fretex will help put together the living room youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been dreaming of. Fretex has something to offer for everyone, no matter the taste, style, or budget. From the simple and modern, to something more unique and colourful. Style isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only thing that Fretex supplies: upcycling antiques and buying used furniture are easy ways to make a positive impact on the environment. Every August the streets of Trondheim become extremely crowded. Not with foot traffic, but with overflowing rubbish bins and recycling containers. On almost every street the cardboard and plastic remnants

of the moving in process flow out into the streets. Getting your furniture second hand means you are ditching a lot of excess plastic and cardboard, keeping that carbon footprint smaller and extending the life cycle of a product that has no need to wind up in the

landfill for years to come. Late afternoon sofa naps can become (almost), guilt-free knowing you benefitted the environment and the local economy. Once your new furniture is set up and you notice the room still lacks a little something, maybe some art might be in order. There is never a bad time to add to a collection of porcelain farm animals or cat portraits, and Fretex has you covered here too. Much like the furniture there is a gigantic selection to choose from; paintings and wall hangings, sculptures and other knick-knacks, you name it and Fretex probably has it. Think of style, think of your wallet, think of the environment, think of Fretex. a

IT'S FINALLY HERE

THINGS TO DO THIS SUMMER WELCOME

There is a tranquility about spending summer in Trondheim, which is punctuated by festivals and activities, spellbinding enough to stimulate even the most lazy of hammock-dwellers. The List asked 100 of its readers, writers, partners and advertisers what they are looking forward to this summer. Here we share their tips, secrets, insights and advice: your definitive guide to a season of fun!

A summer spent in Trondheim can be one of the most rewarding Norwegian experiences, especially if you know how to get the most out of this rich and varied landscape. Much like a fine wine, a TrĂ¸ndelag summer takes time to mature. All those months of cleaning away the winter grit and tidying up your garden, will be repaid in the form of long, work-free evenings, spent with friends at one of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many events, or perhaps alone on a bike or a mountain in the midnight dusk.

THE LIST

MUSIC EXPERIENCES While August is renowned in Trondheim for being a month of festivals, the start of the summer season is traditionally quite tranquil. That does not mean however that there are not soundtracks to be had. Take the time to explore some of the city’s deeper quarters and find musical experiences to get your feet moving.

02.

Sundays can be quite anticlimactic. For me, however, this is my favourite day of the week – especially in the summer! Hop on your bike, grab a seat on the bus, or walk on down to Bakklandet and Antikvariatet for their awesome event “Lørdag på søndag” (Saturday on Sunday).

Summer Chillout Raymond Eide Teacher for EVO and guitar maker at faustguitars

Jazz and improvised music Klaus Ellerhusen Holm, Founder of subradar.no Though summer, and July especially, are quite slow for live music in Trondheim, there are still some places you can hear live music ranging from jazz and improvisation to Americana and rock stuff. These are mostly small venues that provide a more intimate atmosphere. Here are a few tips if you want to hear live music during the holidays. Starting with my personal favorite Moskus – an excellent bar in addition to being super nice, small place to hear live music. Still hungry for music? Visit Antikvariatet, Ila Brainnstasjon, or Kafé Skuret.

THE SEVENTEENTH ISSUE

This is an open-mic-night, where the stage awaits anyone who can work up the courage. Lørdag på søndag is an unpretentious event where fabulous local musicians are showcased; this is great for both performers and those of us that like to sit in the audience.

03.

Summer is the perfect time of year to dance! Whether a beginner or an expert, I recommend you to join a dance class in jazz, modern or classic, at Dansit (Strandveien 33) this summer. Classes take place from 25-29 July. Put your best foot forward this season!

Dance Tone By Communications at ISAK

My best music tips this summer: spend an evening strolling between music spots. Listen for music from open windows in hot apartments or cars rolling by. In Trondheim, live music leaks from clammy concert venues and from the street musician on the corner. It’s easy to enjoy a varied music experience while you explore the city! My favourite spot? That must be Thomas Angells gate that connects Munkegata and Krambugata.

June and August are the big festival months, and about the only time of year the weather in Trondheim allows for outdoor concerts. Personally, I like the smaller

and more esoteric festivals. My top recommendations for festivals this summer are Rotvollfestivalen in August and Ladehammerfestivalen in June. July is a quiet month 15

this summer, unfortunately. If I had choice, I would work July and have my vacation in the weeks before and after instead.

THE SEVENTEENTH ISSUE

THE LIST

PICNIC SPOTS Quite frankly we could have written a feature called 100 Places to Picnic this Summer! There is nothing more quintessentially Trondheim than taking a rug, a volleyball (or perhaps the traditional game of ‘kubb’) and backpack of food and beverage to one of the city’s numerous outdoor dining spots. Ever heard the concept ‘the better the view the worse the food’? These five happy locals beg to differ…

06. Breakfast at Storheia Sunniva Evjen Marketing Executive at Visit Trondheim One of my favourite spots is Storheia, the biggest mountain in Trondheim, standing at 565,6 m.a.s.l. The heights might not be impressive as mountains in Norway go, but it is worth a visit! From the top you have the best viewpoint over the whole of Trondheimsfjord and over to the Fosen Alps. You can enjoy the sound of silence and smell the fresh air from the Norwegian woods. Recommended for summer Sunday breakfasts.

07. Skansen Janina Lamøy Event&Community Manager at DIGS

IMAGE Piotr Wawrzyniak

Skansen is my favourite park along the Trondheim fjord where you can picnic like a local. The Skansen promenade ends up in a small park where I like to go to BBQ , play some volleyball, take a refreshing dip in the water, watch the sailboats, and maybe end the day by visiting Lille Skansen restaurant. I would personally bike or walk from Brattøra along the fjord. If you don't feel like walking that much, I would take the traditional tram Gråkallbanen from the city centre to Ila. 16

09.

I am very fond of taking strolls, and I love elements of water in the summer. Therefore, a stroll along Nidelven is a perfect summer activity in my opinion. Stop at Marinen and have a picnic, maybe bring the radio or a game of kubb. And if the weather gets cold, visit one of the many cozy cafés in Bakklandet!

Walk along Nidelva Line Holm Project Manager at Midtbyen

Is there anything better than a warm, sunny Norwegian summer day spent relaxing by Tronhejmsfjord? Whenever the weather gods smile down on the city I pack up some food, a blanket, a bottle of something bubbly, and head to soak up some vitamin D along the coast at Korsvika. Bonus points if it’s warm enough to take a little dip!

08. Rotvoll Tanja Holmen CEO at Fretex Midt-Norge

The shoreline of Rotvoll, on the eastern side of Trondheim, holds some of the most beautiful green areas in the city. In the area you will find The Organic House (Den Økologisk Hus) and Kristoffertunet. Known as the green and organic part of town, it certainly lives up to that title. At Kristoffertunet you’ll find a biodynamic working farm complete with a greenhouse, herb and vegetable garden, bakery, saft makers, weavers, and even a shop. It’s the only area in the city that has sheep, hens, horses, chickens, and Rufus the donkey! Don’t forget the family festival on 26 August, Rotvollfestivalen, organized by the enthusiastic residents of the area.

SUMMER SPORTS The half time whistle may have been blown on your usually sporting activity, so why not try your hand at something more befitting of the season? Find a new hobby, meet new people and begin the new season in better shape than where you left off!

11. Frisbee-golf Kyle McClenahan The List contributor Trondheim, an incredible city for… disc golf? While it remains an underground hobby, local support for this Frisbee-golf hybrid sport has resulted in the maintenance of three courses within city limits. Whether playing riverside at Øya or among the woods of Dragvoll, disc golf remains one of the most enjoyable excuses Trondheim offers to get outside on a mixed weather day. So go on, pick up some discs at a sports store and challenge a friend to a round of disc!

12. Theisendamen swimming Giedre Løvdahl Trondheim Kajakk One of my favourite activities in summer (when I’m not kayaking!) is to spend time near Teisendammen. I usually like to bicycle there or just walk from the city centre. I recommend taking Roal Amundsens Vei to spread the steep climbs and to give some epic views over Trondheim. When you reach Theisendamen you can jump straight into the lake and have a refreshing swim. THE SEVENTEENTH ISSUE

Check out @NTNUIPB on Facebook or visit www.ntnui.com for more information.

15. Sailing Will Cilento Experience Designer at Zedge Summer for me is a sailing season. Whether it’s with the Trondhjems Seilforeningen (TSF) for Wednesday regattas, or with friends for day cruises and overnight trips, I’m always trying to get on the water. An overnight trip to Tautra is a fantastic way to spend the weekend. 18

counties around the world, cricket is our national sport. Played between two eleven-player teams, using a bat, ball and wickets, this British summer sport is getting popular in Trondheim. Usually teams are made up of people from various cricket-playing nations, but it is open to everyone. Interested in trying the sport this summer? search NTNUI cricket group on Facebook.

IMAGE Will Cilento

On a good day you can sail there even in open boats like Yngling, and depending on the wind the trip can take 3-4 hours. Once on the island you can try some birdwatching or check out the remains of the medieval Tauterø Abbey. To stay overnight you can camp or sleep in “Cuba” - the cabin owned by TSF. If short trips are more your style, members of NTNUI Seiling can hire Yngling class boats from Skansen Harbour for three hours at a time – great for a couple of laps around Munkholmen.

Snorkeling and shallow diving for crabs, scallops and other shells is a rewarding challenge for beginners. Many freedivers hunt fish with spear guns, which is both challenging and exciting. It's arguably also the most humane and sustainable way to obtain fish, when done responsibly. Trondheim fridykkerklubb runs several freediving courses at different levels every year.

Don't know where to start? No problem! The range of vegan products available has massively expanded. Why not try Grønne Folks beetroot burgers from Rema 1000, or stop by Etikken who have a range of vegan BBQ food that you won’t find elsewhere in Trondheim. Our personal favourites are the ‘Real Jumbos’ and ‘Toscaninis’ sausages; both are perfect in combination with an ice-cold beer and the Trondheim sun!

They are permitted to use in your own yard/property, but it is best to check local regulations before throwin’ a few shrimps on the…'en gangs grill'. Also, remember to never throw a hot grill or coals in a trashcan or anywhere else with flammable materials. Trondheim is full of great places to set up the grill; there are plenty of parks and open spaces in the city and the surrounding areas. There are some great locations down by the fjord and out of town (Midtsandtangen Friluftsområde for example). The excuse of grilling can be great motivation to explore our city and find a new favourite corner.

What you should know about Bradley Kurtz Freelance writer

Grilling is something of a national pastime here in Norway…at least when the weather cooperates. Before you fire up that grill there are a few things to keep in mind: because of the heightened fire danger in wooded areas, open flames such as grills and fire pits, are forbidden to use unless there has been heavy rain in the area. 19

Cut down on BBQ sauce Simen Leite Member at MMA Trondheim

BBQ seems like a nice way of spending sunny summer evening, but is also a challenge in following my healthy diet. I will definitely go for good quality meat and cut down on the bread and other carbs, as well as the BBQ sauce this summer. I kind of feel like trying something new so might actually end up eating steak with grilled courgette, as I heard it's delicious. THE SEVENTEENTH ISSUE

FESTIVALS Whatever else you do this summer, your memories of 2017 are likely to be associated with one of the fantastic events which are taking place. Fellesferie (the three-week national holiday period in July) is typically downbeat and quiet on the cultural calendar. August however, is the home of the year’s biggest parties, markets and concerts. Returning to work has never been so much fun!

Norway!), this event is a gathering of like-minded friends; “gardeners” as they call themselves. 'Drivhus' translates to greenhouse, and an apt description of the environment you could find yourself in – a place where you can just enjoy the sun and the water, enjoy some cooking, bathing, playing and rediscovering nature. Local DJs and bands are featured, but it's not about who's who – it's about contributing, getting to know new people, and ultimately disconnecting from your own busy life.

It's easy to not want to cook when the weather is warm, but summer is also when I want to try new foods most. So what can a person do about it? It´s simple: Trøndersk Matfestival and Bryggerifestivalen. I really look forward to trying all sorts of new foods and having my lunch, second lunch, and dinner made for me. I get to learn about the our regional food heritage while meeting people who are proud of what they do and committed to truly giving me their best. This is a summer must do.

get your hands on, for example, the award winning wild sheep skank with seaweed seasoning from Dalpro, the amazing fresh chevré from Grindal cheese factory, or lefse (‘læns’ in trøndersk) from Heimebakst or Lefsebua. Whatever your taste, I bet you will be able to find something that will make your mouth water; all while supporting farmers in their endeavor to produce award winning food based on tradition and local access to foodstuffs.

From serious music lovers, hipsters, and those between the ages of 18 to 50, Pstereo is the big happening in Trondheim this summer. The festival provides both a rare meeting spot for the 30 to 40 somethings with babysitters, and spaces for those who follow closely what is happening on all the separate stages. Musically, its variety gives

something for everyone through a blend of fresh indie and rock while throwing in some nostalgia for the "grown-ups". In its eleven years of existence, Pstereo has had a lot of amazing acts. I'm most looking forward to seeing shoegaze legends Slowdive (UK), Swedish rapper Silvana Iman, and melodic indie pop masters Beach Fossils (US). 21

The ever energetic and exciting Cymbals Eat Guitars (US) will make a most welcome return to the festival. And you certainly don’t wanna miss the local rising stars Pom Poko, who look set for a UK breakthrough this year! See Pstereo.no for full line up.

THE SEVENTEENTH ISSUE

Olavsfestdagene fills Trondheim with festivity, street life, concerts, lectures, and services every summer. St. Olav’s festival (this is how we can translate it to English) commemorates Olav Haraldsson who died in the battle at Stiklestad in 1030 when trying to bring Christianity to Norway. Sainted Olav remained a symbol of the town, which turned into an important site for pilgrims.

The purpose of St. Olav Festival is to strengthen Trondheim as a national ecclesiastical and cultural center. Miljøpakken plays a modest role at the festival by offering free and safe bicycle parking every year. The parking hotel in a close proximity to Erkebispegården is popular among participants who travel to town by bike. Trondheim is a relatively compact city. 140,000 can cycle to Olavsfestdagene 22

and return home in less than one hour if they choose to ride a bike. Olavsfestdagene wants to make Trondheim visible as a place that values inclusivity and embraces everyone. Miljøpakken wants to make Trondheim a role model as a brave city fighting climate change. I am looking forward to experience the great atmosphere of the festival and particularly concerts in Erkebispegården.

WATER ACTIVITIES Trondheim is surrounded by water: rivers, lakes, sea and the occasional puddle. To make the most out of the waterways is to make the most of Trøndelag. Here are five suggestions to immerse yourself in, provided by five of the city’s cultural mariners.

26. Sightseeing by boat Katarzyna Gąsiorek Deputy Editor at The List

One of my favorite summer activities is to take a boat ride. It doesn't really matter if it's a big ferry, fisherman’s boat, or a passenger vessel; as long as it involves waves, water and salty air, I'm more than content. This summer in Trondheim I recommend sightseeing by boat. A small passenger vessel departures every day at 12:30 from Ravnkloa and will take you on a trip all the way along Skansen, Ilsvikøra, Munkholem, and Nidelva. You will get to know a little bit of a history of the city and learn about all the mechanism of the bridges in town, all that being provided both in English and Norwegian.

It’s a lovely place to go for a swim, explore nearby giant's kettles (natural holes that appear to be drilled in the ground) and if you dare, jump into the river pool from a 12 meter tall bridge! A super authentic Norwegian summer experience, free of charge.

One of my all time favourite things to do in the summer is to go fishing. The nights are bright, the temperature is comfortable, and the wildlife is stunning. Nature is calling, and it’s time to get out and about. Røros is located over 700 meters above sea level. The mountain landscape is

open, wide and with many nice mountain peaks that invite you to explore the great Norwegian outdoors. Wherever you hike in the region there’s an abundance of freshwater fishing spots where you can catch some really nice mountain trout and Arctic charr. Don’t forget your fishing license! 25

This summer I am planning on exploring Trondheim and its surrounding areas in a kayak. Once you have the beginners course and a license for it, it's easy to become member of a kayaking society like the one at Skansen. The fjord is usually a bit cold during the winter, but soon it will be warm enough to only wear a wetsuit. THE SEVENTEENTH ISSUE

Ringve botanical garden is divided into several parts with different themes: the Arboretum (learn about trees and bushes from the Northern hemisphere), Traditional Perennials (where they work on preserving traditional garden plants from the area) and the Renaissance Garden (medicinal plants and herbs). The Botanical Gardens are free and a beautiful park to explore.

Trondheim is practically littered with benches. Why not find one with a view? In the West: Byåsens Utsikten. In the East: Singsakers Kuhaugen. If you are up for a hike, a throne overlooking the city will be your reward in both cases. Bring a book, some snacks, and be ready to see Trondheim from a bird's-eye view. Can you make out the Nidaros Cathedral?

The Kristiansen Fortress holds one of Trondheim’s most interesting building design. It also holds one of the most accessible and greatest views you can get of Trondheim; close to the city center as well. Located in one of the major green city lungs, Festningen is filled with history and strolling people; surely a nice place to chill out on a sunny day.

If you share the love for festival films combined with interesting guests, Olavskino is the place to be.

I am really looking forward to seeing the exhibition Arms of the Ocean with artist Ellen Sofie Griegel at RAKE Visningsrom, which is up until 13 August.

In my spare time I like to play Frisbee Golf. In Trondheim we have three courses. There is no fee for using the courses and so it is also a great activity to play with kids, whatever their age. You can even push a pram around the course with if the little one is too young to throw! And because the courses are located in green areas around town, you can also bring a ball or some water balloons for a lighthearted break from the action.

Within reachable distance for kids and adults on bike, the lovely Hansbakkfjæra is situated only a few kilometers away from Trondheim. It has a nice sand beach the kids will love, and the bike trip is quite flat. Stop by Grilstad Marina on the way for an ice cream and a fun playground in the park.

While here, you can't miss tasting some of Norway's best local food, made from the finest ingredients directly from nature or from local producers.

While waiting for the Literature House's fall program to come out, why not spend your rainy days at the public library? I have been an avid library goes all my life. It is free, and it has a decent selection of literature in English. Bring a book to one of the reading nooks on the second floor, for example The Sun Also Rises. Or better yet, borrow it, bring it to Sellanraa next door, and read while you drink some of the best coffee in Trondheim; all while the rain pours down outside the wall of windows.

Here, you can visit the Klostergården restaurant and inn, beer brewery and Whiskey distillery, and the small shop where you’ll also find a wide variety of jams and compotes from the island’s fruit and berry production. When the rain clouds part, you can venture outside and visit the ruins of the 13th century Monastery as well as the modern Maria monastery, where you can buy their handmade soaps and lotions. Ideal for a day trip or even a wet weekend!

Famous for endless ski slopes in the wintertime, it is a proper bike paradise in summer. Åre Bike Park offers numerous trails, differentiated not only in terms of difficulty level but also the amount of fun and excitement they provide. Don't have a downhill bike?

Bymarka is rich with mountain bike tracks ('sti') of varying degrees of difficulty. Mtbmap. no is your friend here, but I recommend taking the tram to Lian where you can start on Baklistien to Bakidammen, then to Lavollen for a coffee. Smålettan takes you around Geitfjellet where you have many tracks named after berries (bringebær/blåbær) to play with.

can easily pick up a city bike from one of the many city bike racks spread all over town. You can keep the bike for up to 3 hours; pick up needs to be done between 06:00 - 00:00, but you can return it whenever you want. To use the city bikes, you would need a city bike card. It has a yearly fee of NOK 130, and can be ordered online. 39

One of the best things about living in Trondheim, for me, is the close proximity to Bymarka and the endless possibilities for all-year outdoor activities there. It's hard for me to pick one favorite trail in Bymarka because there are many great trails for different rides: steep and technical trails for that scary stuff, and flow trails full of loam for the warm and sunny nights. But I would recommend the Old Trail because it has all the different parts; technical climbs where you have to think about pedal placement, flowy downhill sections and that sweet loam.

Hang a right at the pedestrian bridge by Ila church, keeping your eye out for otters and continue over Skansen to the marina and swing bridge. Run along the ocean walkway, soak up the fresh sea air and enjoy the distraction of Munkholmen and wonderful art along the promenade. When you approach Brattøra you will take the bridge over the train tracks, turn left and follow the canal to cross the architecturally pleasing Blomsterbroen over to the 'Sunny Side'. Once at Solsiden turn right at the bridge by the crane and you are on the home stretch for a coffee at Jacobsen and Svart and hey presto – cardio completed!

84. Along Hansbakkfjæra Megan Eymann Smalø Founder of Pinnsvin Crossing My favorite walk is along a scenic stretch of the Pilgrim's Way that follows the fjord from Hansbakken to the Grillstad Marina. From Ranheimsvegen 230, head towards the coast, cross the little footbridge over the train tracks and take in the amazing view of the fjord. Follow the path towards Trondheim, passing beaches, boathouses, backyard gardens, a fingerling forest, and footbridges over creeks and marshland. You will see shore birds galore, and if you are lucky, perhaps a cormorant drying his feathers on the old piers, or my favourites – the oystercatchers! Plenty of places to picnic along the way, and great for bikes as well.

My favorite spots for views are quite places like Bjørktjønna. You can get there easily from Rønningen, but if you love walking off the tracks, you can park your car at Hestsjøen and walk for an hour or two in beautiful surroundings. Bjørktjønna is also a beautiful place to set up camp.

It’s a nice little hike that provides a great view of the city, the fjord, and also Jonsvatnet and the areas around. Since it’s not more than 423 meters above the sea

A while ago I found out that we have this really nice cliff here in Trondheim, called Burmaklippen. It’s been a closely guarded secret as far as I’ve understood, but the last couple of years it’s become quite a popular destination if you’re heading to Estenstadmarka. So if you’re planning on eating waffles in Estenstadhytta this summer, take a small detour and see it for yourself! THE SEVENTEENTH ISSUE

OPPORTUNITIES TO DRESS UP (OR DOWN) Summer is also a wonderful time to try on a new wardrobe, and there are plenty of occasions for you to dress to impress. The warmer, lighter weather also means you can try a different style, or, perhaps you can dispose of the clothes altogether!

86. No clothes, no problem Sara Husby Copywrighter at Headspin

When I dream about going for a swim, it's not the sunny beaches of Spain or the gorgeous Greek seaside that comes to mind. In fact it's going for a nightly skinny-dip at Theisendammen ( just behind Byåsen Butikksenter) or an impulsive swim at Sjøbadet. There are lots of great places to splash around in Trondheim, and last summer a friend and I set off on a 'tour de swim'. Each day for a whole week, we went swimming at different spots, regardless of the weather (and the amount of beers the night before). Highly recommended! I'm never happier than when I am in the (preferably salt) water, and for as long as I can remember I have never regretted a swim!

Costumes are for the young and young at heart. I make my own and that is something I'm proud of. It takes a lot of time, dedication and learning new skills. Even if you don't make your own who cares? It's about the fun and the awesome community around it. Torucon is my favourite summer thing because I get to go hang out with the rest of my “tribe” and meet the special guests, bringing home some art, comics and get in a sword battle or two. (They aren't sharp, don't worry).

How about putting on clothes different from everything you are used to? When we put on historical clothing, we try to relive the past. It gives you a chance to put down your phone, and leave all social media alone for a while. Just be with people, live in the present. Enjoy the smell of a bonfire, the grass under your bare feet, and lose sense of time.

IMAGE Wil Lee-Wright

A bunad, the traditional Norwegian costume, is more than just a fancy gown. You pick the pattern and colour yourself, and it represents your personal heritage and tradition. Wearing my trønder bunad makes me feel very special. It is a costume to be used when you meet up with people you care a lot about and I’m really looking forward to putting it on during big family gatherings this summer. This time of year brings multiple occasions like weddings and confirmations to show off with this beautiful national costume.

Comfort first is what I dress by. If you share my love of free-flowing fabric and wind around your legs, get your deodorant out.

SOUR THINGS There is a lot of love going around at this time of year, a lot of sweet, sticky, gooey love. Time to reset the balance with a good dose of sour; something tangy and bitter, to wipe that smile off your face. Opposites attract, don't you know.

Sour leaves Ida Bondø Lee-Wright Consultant at Headspin Advertising

A Glass of Sunshine Siri Solheim-Kristiansen Coordinator for Red Cross

Did you know that there are lots of edible plants growing free in the region? One of the most easy to recognize is Engsyre, or Common Sorrel. Sorrel is a sour plant, and Norwegian children love eating the leaves. In the old times it was used as a medicine and is thought to be both diuretic and antiseptic. This summer my three-year-old actually introduced me to another variant, the Wood Sorrel (Gjøksyre). Use both variants as garnish on a salad or in soups to add flavor, the white flowers look really pretty on a salad too. Be aware though, both plants contains a lot of Oxalic Acid which can lead to poisoning if eaten in abundance. Wash or poach the plants to remove the oxalic acid if you plan on using large amounts. Happy foraging!

You know the feeling of complete bliss after a sunny day? Well, in Trondheim you will never be guaranteed sunshine, but you can have the Sellanraa lemonade which is basically the same thing. It has the perfect ratio of sweet and sassy; it is refreshingly cold and served with a mint leaf completing that summer vibe.

94. Craft beer Daniel Ihlen Ekelund Product developer AT AssiStep

92. Sour queen of summer Aleksandra Lang PhD student at the Department of Geoscience and Petroleum, NTNU

With craft beer rising in popularity, the niche of sour beers has become more known and available as well. Sour beers can range widely in character, but share being intentionally exposed to wild bacteria and yeasts during the brewing process. This produces an acidic flavour and other unique flavour compounds. The brewpub Habitat probably has the most intriguing selection in Trondheim, but whether there or somewhere else, I would ask for a Berliner Weisse.

Rhubarb is extremely sour and almost inedible when raw, but nice and sweet when cooked or baked. Its stalks look quite unobtrusive so it’s easy to overlook them on a supermarket shelf. The way it looks, however, is deceiving and the taste is worth having a second look at it. Summertime is the season when we all can indulge in deliciously sour rhubarb. Rhubarb cake or compote are quite good choices, but my favourite is a rhubarb and strawberry crumble pie. Try it out!

The rules are simple: buy a portion of a sour candy, preferably strawberry flavour. We used to put the candies in our mouth trying to keep it as long as possible without a single grimace. A first one to pull a face lost the game. The unfortunate soul who lost first then had to put the rest of the candies in their mouth, and was not allowed to open it before it was all gone.

Falafel Bar Astri Barbala Writer and Co-Owner of Æ Studio

Brøøl Malin Christine Karlsen Advisor at Headspin

As a vegetarian who used to be vegan, falafels have been a part of my diet for many years. Unfortunately, I have met more dry and soggy falafels than crispy and herby ones. At Falafel Bar in Leütenhaven, they are getting it just right however, with perfect texture and spiciness. Ideal for veggies and carnivores alike, falafel wraps are the ultimate on-thego healthy comfort food for any Trønder weather!

What do you associate beer with? Sun, friends, parties, snacks? I’m pretty sure you don’t think of bread, but that is exactly what the people behind BRØØL (Brød (Bread) + Øl (Beer) = BRØØL) do. The combination of a brewery at night and a bakery during the day results in excellent beer, and a delicious sourdough bread served with what we call pålegg, meaning things to put on bread. Pålegg consists of a variety of spreads, sliced meats, vegetables, etc… and this restaurant concept, as far as I know, is unique for Trondheim. I highly recommend the veal or the reindeer. BRØØL is the perfect addition to Bakklandet, and an excellent choice for a beer with friends or a satisfying lunch.

A couple of weeks ago, the Norwegian school of photography held their yearly exhibition for their graduates. Every year this exhibition is celebrated, photography covering the school's halls with determination to illuminate the world around them. Roaming around through a thick cloud of people we found Tobias Kvendseth Johnsen, giving us a leap into his artistic expression, ties with politics, emotions and passion. He discusses his latest

project 'Smokescreen' (picture left) in the following pages alongside with graduate Eline Viddal RĂ¸d, giving us an insight of her work and visions for the future. This summer a new vision emerged with the Norwegian school of photography and their new photogallery Modul35. The photogallery is built as a movable modul which can benefit from the empty spaces in the city, built by art project Art Hotel Norway and designed by sculptor Erlend Leirdal. The gallery is now showcasing an exhibition by Lars Botten, who for the first time presents his 15 year long-term project Malung, which is available until 30th of July. With this and many other exciting exhibitions emerging this summer, have a look at our listings to offer you a broad exploration of arts in the city. Wishing you a lovely summer.

TRANSFORMATION THE POSSIBILITY OF CHANGE Katrine Elise Pedersen reporting from Kunsthall Trondheim

Kunsthall Trondheim’s summer exhibition, Noe beveger seg sakte i en annen retning [something is slowly moving in a different direction], presents one of the most influential and well known Sami artists, Iver Jåks (1932 – 2007), in the company of five young Sami artists: Sissel M. Bergh, Carola Grahn, Ragna Misvær Grønstad, Niilas Helander and Silje Figenschou Thoresen.

I OF SOMETHING NEW EMERGING Kunsthall Trondheim Kongens gate 2, 7011 Trondheim (Entrance Søndre gate) www.kunsthalltrondheim.no b /kunsthalltrondheim x @kunsthalltrondheim

ver Jåks thought of his works as in constant process – they are meant to ultimately fall apart, disintegrate and be gone – subject to the same processes, which forms the foundations for the rest of our lives. The work of the hand is always at the core, the connection to context, nature and the human always central. Iver Jåks’ oeuvre was one of transformation. Thus his works always point to the possibility of change, of something new emerging. It’s the past and the now that carries this openness within them. The title of the exhibition refers both to Iver Jåks view on art – which is also present in the younger artists’ practices – and to an increasing interest and respect for the Sami cultures. The different artist practices in the exhibition focus on processes of rewriting of history, language and an extended notion of the Sami identity. 2017 marks the centennial for the first Sami gathering, which took place in Trondheim – Tråante. Kunsthall Trondheim would like to thank The Sami Parliament of Norway, the Inger and Iver Jåks Foundation, KORO /Public Art Norway, University of Tromsø – The Arctic University of Norway (UiT), Northern Norway Art Museum and Troms County. a THE SEVENTEENTH ISSUE

How are you feeling? I’m absolutely exhausted but hopeful that will pass soon. What can we find in your studio? Vintage postcards, plaster limbs, rolls of paper and fabric, dried flowers from Australia, unread books, empty coffee cups, bags of plaster and concrete, pens and empty notebooks. Tell me about your latest project? My latest work 'Smokescreen' is a photography project exploring censorship of violence, juxtaposed with symbolism from Christianity and dictatorships. It consists of 15 monochrome images with themes varying from death, birth, power trips, and sex. It is probably the toughest project (mentally) that I’ve done so far because of the heavy themes that I researched, and also because the images were difficult to create. Where is the light? The light lies in being interested. How has Trondheim and its environment been an impact on your process as an artist? 48

I am very inspired by the architecture and the city’s history; from WW2 until now the entire city has changed entirely with a few exceptions. Trondheim seems to change everyday, and there’s something about Trondheim’s impermanence that inspires me. The light here is also very special; I have lived here pretty much my entire life and still I see completely new light conditions every day. As far as music goes, I always get inspired while taking bus number 11 out from the city and through the fjord. Notes to self? Work more, sleep more, write more, walk more, sing more. Upcoming exhibitions/Future goals? No upcoming exhibitions unfortunately, but hopeful that the art milieu changes a little so it becomes easier for us figurative artists to exhibit works among the overwhelming abstract art scene. However, future goals include: release a new EP, finish some big sculptures, get paid, and then get a Scottish deerhound. a

ELINE VIDDAL ROD interview by Laura-Ann Morrison

THE ART LIST chats with photographer Eline Viddal Rod about her art and religous upbringing How are you feeling? – I'm feeling great. It's an exciting time. What can we find in your studio? I'm in the middle of moving and leaving my workplace behind - which was The Norwegian School of Photography. So right now; just a messy bedroom full of weird props and clothes I’ve hoarded over the last few years. Tell me about your latest project? My latest project 'Cum Religio' was an exhibition consisting of eight images. I was raised a catholic and that’s something that had a huge impact on my life and identity as a child. But when I became a teenager religion and all its symbolism changed from something beautiful and comforting, to something unpleasant,

extreme and offensive. This project has been a way for me to confront my own relationship with religion and take back ownership of the symbolism that I grew up with. Where is the light? I love the look of an amateur's flash, so preferably right over my lens, and right in my model's face. I like to think it shows my presence in the photographs and creates a kind of intimacy with the subject. Which Norwegian artist inspires you? To be honest, no one really comes to mind. Since I was a kid I've had a strong fascination with Asia, and that's something that has followed me into the world of photography. My 49

biggest inspiration so far has been Japanese artists and photographer Araki. Right now it's tough, I'm really trying to use my own European culture for inspiration. I don't want to copy anyone; I want to find my own voice as an artist. For my latest project I've looked at a lot of renaissance paintings and Christian imagery. I feel as a photographer you have to be careful about using photography as your main source of inspiration. It's hard to make something new out of something that already exists. I think it's healthy to look around different mediums for ideas. How has Trondheim and it's environment been an impact on your process as an artist? I feel Trondheim has had a huge impact on my work in terms of access. People here are so much more willing to help you. If you need a hotel for your location shoot, someone is willing to lend you a room. If you need a lamb or an octopus, it's only one ... or five phone calls away. There's a different kind of excitement from people here that creates a safe haven for students with empty pockets. All you need to do is ask. There is also such a great community for photography and art here, I going to miss being surrounded by so many like-minded and opinionated people. Notes to self? Just 'cause you're done with school doesn't mean you're done studying. Create your own assignments, set your own deadlines. Don't stop creating. Upcoming exhibitions/Future goals? – Right now I'm working on finishing my two books 'Vespertine' and 'Fish and Chicks' and getting them ready for the printers. I also really want to make a documentary photo book of my mother's old photographs from her world travels. She is just home now with health issues and a lot of time on her hands. I hope that doing a project together can help her find back the passion she had as a young person, and give her a retrospect of her life she can hold in her hands. Right now I'm also looking for an assistant job in Oslo, I really want get a foot in the door of the art community there and see how an artist really works. And then who knows? Maybe I'll go abroad or go back to studying ... or both. But for the long run my main goal is that people will see one of my images and think, "that looks like an Eline". a THE SEVENTEENTH ISSUE

THE LIST LOOKS OUTSIDE

Although a beautiful, entertaining, magical, addictive, and inspiring destination in its own right, Trondheim is more than just a city - it is also a region. Trondheimsregionen is the fourth biggest urban area in Norway and lies at the centre of Trøndelag. It is the heart of the middle-Norway, Midt-Norge,

and provides a wide array adventures and experiences. If you haven't already fallen head over heals for Trondheimsregionen, then take a look outside the city and explore the secrets of the surrounding municipalities. The beauty of the region is that you not only have everything in one place, but also it is easily

accessible. Let us take you on a journey into the mountains, a trip across the fjord, walks in the woods, and strolls along seaside. In this edition of The List Looks Outside, we turn our eyes to Stjørdal and finds a municipality with more to offer than you might have expected.

Skjørdal municipality is best known for Værnes International airport, connecting around five million passengers to over 50 destinations every year. But now the region is earning the right to be considered a destination in itself. To travel to Stjørdal is to be rewarded with a range of activities and experiences, from Stone Age petroglyphs (rock carvings) to state-of-the-art cultural institutions, with an event calendar which will surprise and delight. And the transport links aren’t too shabby either. Petrol heads and pedal enthusiasts flock to the area each year for World Rally Cross and the National Cycling Championships. And still to come this year are a range of international and local musicians, including concerts at ByFest Stjørdal and the long-standing Blues in Hell festival. First established in 1992 the Blues in Hell festival took a departure from its blues roots in the 2000s when it tried to reinvent itself as a more generic music festival. In 2007 it went bankrupt, inspiring one of its original founders, Kjell Inge Brovoll to come back into the fold. “The festival started in 1992 but in 2007 it lost its way, booked Snoop Dog on a Sunday night and lost a lot of money. This is the 10th year as the renamed ‘Blues in Hell Festival’ and I believe that it is the total experience which is important,” explained Kjell Inge, who makes up one half of local blues band, Jolly Jumper & Big Moe.“People come from all over the world. 50

Blues lovers will always travel.” At the other end of Stjørdal’s musical metronome you will find a long tradition with opera. Opera Trøndelag is the country's largest district opera. In winter they sold out six performances of Carmen in the new Kimen Kulturhus. “Next opportunity to see opera is August 17th,” tells Lene Fjellstad, Marketing Director at Kimen. “There will be an opera galla with many famous soloists in Kimenpark in the centre of the city.” “The summer for me is concert and festival time. For example, I always take a holiday week for Olavsfestdagene and the food festival in Trondheim. This summer, however, the highlight for me will be closer to home, with the double concert in Kimenpark on August 19 with Jarle Bernhoft and Violet Road. Amazing artists in spectacular surroundings and with the best Stjørdal has to offer in food and drink. It's gonna be magic!” Stjørdal has long been an attractive option for businesses seeking to establish near a major transport hub. But compared with other areas in Nord Trøndelag, Skjørdal does not have as many growth industries (if you look at economic paper Dagens Næringsliv ‘Gaselle’ survey for instance, 2016) and so the local business community is doing all it can to attract new business. “The Stjørdal municipality is attractive for the establishment of business because we are located so centrally in the country,” explains

Torstein Mørseth, Leader of Stjørdal’s Chamber of Commerce. “We are central in Trøndelag, with very good communication and a good framework of conditions to support establishing business; space, nurseries, schools, cultural services and living areas.” Mørseth points out that Statoil and the airport still dominate the local economy but there has been extensive investment in infrastructure and real estate. Proneo Næringspark which gives businesses the chance to establish their own premises, and Tangen Næringspark which hosts 13 technology companies in a cluster, who utilise the sharing economy, are two hubs. There has also been particular focus on developing Stjørdal’s attractiveness for visitors, but much of this work was done by nature hundreds of thousands of years ago, and by early man thousands of years ago. The municipality includes many places of great historical significance: one of Europe's largest rock carvings, the castle at Steinvikholmen, where Catholicism originated in Norway, the 1000-year-old Værnes Church and Hegra Fortress, which created history during World War II. In Lene Fjellstad’s words; “there are few places that can show as much story per square meter as Stjørdal.” a

o you spend your nights dreaming of tall blondes? Or maybe something richer and darker occupies your mind. Whatever your fancy, the Ølakademiet (Beer Academy) is here to make those dreams become a reality as they host their international beer tasting courses this summer. The courses are open to anyone (of the legal drinking age): from those with an already refined palate, or those who are looking to learn a little bit more about beer (what does IPA even mean? Right?), or even people who are just plain thirsty. A good sense of humour is a prerequisite and encouraged by the staff at Ølakademiet.

to work together to feature climate in politics. They demand: adherence to the Paris agreement, thousands of new green jobs, reducing Norwegian oil-extraction, and investment in climate solutions. Sponsors of Klimafestivalen also have the climate on their agenda. Last year's primary sponsor, REdu, focuses on waste and recycling in education and industry. These climate objectives by Klimafestivalen and sponsors have never been more important, given current political circumstances. Though the political message of Klimafestivalen is most prominent, there will also be opportunities to learn and refine skills in workshops. Previous workshops for children

rondheim's greenest festival is back! It will take place the last week of August with concerts, workshops, seminars, and political debates. This year's programme is not yet available, but last year's was a great success with over 38 events and 2500 attendees. There will be music and art, and of course lots of opportunities for children to play and learn. This free festival is run and supported by volunteer effort, as well as Klimavalgalliansen, a politically independent body made up of several organizations. The festival was created as a space for these volunteers and organizations, whether educational or religious, environmental or economic,

During the beer tasting course a number of beers from international breweries will be featured. Participants will use their senses of sight, smell, and taste, to get to know each unique characteristic of the beers presented to them. A healthy dose of storytelling and history from the beer world will also be on tap. 24 August at Bror Bar & Restaurant is the embarkation point for this tasty trip around the globe. Good beer and good company are truly what is on offer at the international beer tasting offered by Ølakademiet. Don’t let yourself be hopblocked and miss out on this delicious opportunity this summer. —bpk

For generations Sami children have been sent to stay at boarding schools; first as a conscious part of Norway’s anti-corruption policy, and later as a means of rebuilding Sami culture. The Sami children were sent far from home in order to learn the Sami language and culture, often only seeing home during the holidays.

he year’s biggest pop show will be making a stop in Trondheim this August when Robbie Williams comes to the Granåsen Arena. Williams’ The Heavy Entertainment Show is promised to be spectacular – with the production specifically designed for the stadium. But the music alone is enough reason to convince anyone to secure their spot in the arena. Robbie Williams has had an impressive career that started in the 1990’s with the band Take That, and moved on to outstanding solo performances, band reunions, and more stand-alone chart breakers. One of the most influential British artists, Robbie Williams has been inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame, received countless awards, and is responsible for some of the fastest selling records in music history. Williams’ music is a classic dose of pop; featuring a number of different instruments from the piano and acoustic guitars, to synths and drum kits. One thing stands clear in every song
