Index Cruise 3
This "Stave" all wooden Church is similar to those Rusyn Byzantine ones in Slovakia, no metal used at all, not even nails
However, these are Protestant and this one was a reproduction (kind of like in Habura, Slovakia).
The 16th century original one was burned to the ground in the 1990s by a satanist. True!

Our next stop was maybe not for everyone but perfect for us.
We visited the home, museum & grave of Edvard Grieg
"To paint in music the Norwegian landscape, Norwegian folk life,
Norwegian history and Norwegian folk poetry
was, for me, where I believed I could achieve something" - Edvard Grieg
This is the "Work Shed" where Grieg composed his music
Away from the distractions of his home life


This location was closer to the landscape that inspired him

Overlooking the scene above is where
he chose to be buried
