Description

Hedningsgärdet is a wasteland, a deserted farm that was inhabited during the period 1200 to 1400. Remains of house foundations can still be seen here. During its short life, the farm has been dependent on agriculture, livestock, hunting and fishing. The people on Hedningsgärdet worked a lot with reindeer husbandry, hunting or livestock. In the case of Hedningsgärdet, there are also indications that people were involved in coal mining. There are several reasons why people were forced to abandon the farm, including the plague, socio-economic changes, but also changes in the fauna affected people's living conditions.

Trondheim celebrated its 1000th anniversary in 1997, and in connection with this, a major investment was made in the St. Olav Trail, pilgrimage routes to Nidaros in Trondheim, where St. Olav is buried. He is one of the most important saints in the Nordic region and Norway's national saint. Bo Lundmark was the parish priest in Funäsdalen at the time and very involved in the Romboleden. He had the outdoor altar built.
