| The Trampstone |

 The Trampstone at Kvernagrova/Skiri in Romsdalen are close to the old road which is well preserved and used as a path. Under these rocks, the Tramp met in the old days. Huge rocks falling down from Romsdalen's steep walls made natural shelter. They say the traffic were so busy that the train used to stop outside the rocks. Today, the rocks are used for climbing/bouldering. Rauma river runs close to the rocks, wild and beautiful down the Romsdalen valley.
