Curious, traveller dog Pompe, looks out over a large lake in Eastern Norway, near Elgå. He is hapy and the sun is shining.

Mama took me, the TravellerDog, to Elgå, Norway! This little place is located in the southern part of the Scandi-mountain range and is therefore fairly accessible.

Pompe is standing outside the Sami-museum in Elgå, Norway. A tepi-like house in the back-ground and the house in the fore-ground has a turf-roof.

When in this stunning area, we camped at the beautiful big lake Femunden. A public ferry runs on the lake, although we didn’t take it.

Elgå also has a nice Sami-museum that we think is well worth exploring. Dogs are allowed inside the museum, so I got to learn about the Samis and their way of life. The museum isn’t big, but it does a great job in describing the Sami culture, handicraft and the history of the region.

The sun is settin over a big lake in Elgå, Norway. The mountains behind the lake are soft and rolling.

Pompe, the Traveller Dog, looks with interest at the beautiful handicraft made by Sami people in Elgå, Norway. Among other things, he sees mocasines made of reindeer-skin.

The sky is blue, the water blue and the sun is shining. Pompe is standing on the beach looking out over the water.

However, in Norway dogs need to always and forever be on a leash, no matter if you are in the depths of a forest or in a town. I didn’t like that policy, so we didn’t stay for long in Norway. Mama and I think Sweden is a better destination for people traveling with dogs. In the section Plan a Trip – Sweden you find information on what you can do in Sweden, how to travel domestically and where dogs are allowed.
