we here suggest to you a travel of discovery: Use your holiday or a long weekend to track down relics of Knut Hamsun. It could be a bust, a monument, a place where he lived for some time, a street named after him, places where he found inspiration for his novels.... Do continue the list yourself. To get you started (on the tracks of...), you will find on this page some of the places, we have had joy and pleasure out of visiting or places we just find inevitable.

If YOU know of places with a relation to Hamsun, we would be happy to hear from you: hedvig.rasmussen@hamsun.at .

If the word discovery is too old-fasioned, the word pilgrimage too religious, paper chase too childish - we could call this a cultural hike. Here you get a description, where to find the places, a photo and some short information. So: Lace your boots (alternatively: get into the car) and...START!

The list below is sorted according to city names - Norway and the rest of the world mixed. Enjoy!
