Disabled Access
Most of the Open Air Museum have relatively level and broad gravel paths providing easy access. However, many of the old buildings are difficult to access due to steps and thresholds. There is a steep hill up to the Stave church, which is not really wheelchair friendly.
The Visitor Center, the majority of the Open Air Museum area, the cafés, the Main Exhibitions and the Trøndelag Farmstead have wheelchair access.
