Stave churches are considered to be among the most important examples of wooden Medieval architecture in Europe. Over 1,000 once dotted the Norwegian landscape; today only 28 remain. One of its most lovely is the Rødven Stave Church, recognized as a Norwegian Cultural Heritage Site. Nestled near the shore of the picturesque Rødvenfjord, it was built around 1300 A.D. with many of the materials used dating back to the 12th century. Outside, the stave church is a Møre design, noted for its diagonal external supports known as "skordene." Inside, you'll find a life-size crucifix, one of Norway's finest examples of early Gothic style believed to be from between 1250 and 1275. Before heading back to the port, you'll drive up close to Trollveggen (Troll Wall). At 1,000 meters (3,280 feet), Trollveggen is Europe's tallest vertical, overhanging rock face. According to Norwegian folk legend, trolls roam through the mountains every night but change to stone when are hit by sunlight each morning. Look closely and you may see the trolls' faces among the rock peaks.
