Detour to great adventures

At Innherred, on the road between Verdal and Steinkjer, you have the option of driving straight ahead on the E6, or turning off onto the Golden Route (Den Gyldne Omvei) at Inderøy. The detour takes longer, of course, but the chances are that what you experience along the way there will leave you with no regrets.

Inderøy can boast of one of the country’s most magnificent cultural landscapes, which together with the sea and the special light conditions in Inderøy, have inspired pictorial artists and authors for hundreds of years.

The Golden Detour is a fascinating journey, full of providers offering high quality self-made products in the fields of art, handicrafts and local fare.
