Day 7: Wednesday morning... late breakfast today, it's hard work being a forbonde :-)... dinner last night was great with reports from the journeys of all sleighteams.Thank you to the market commitee for the invite!
Most exciting though was Jørn Holmes news. He is the leader of the Norwegian directorate of cultural heritage which has decided to protect several roads and routes lately. This also include part of the tradingroutes to Røros used by forbønder. It will hopefully be on Unesco's list of world heritage sites in the future. Amazing news! Just imagine if Jöns and the others that revived the forbonde-tradition in 1981 knew about this when they started out. And funny that the idea of doing this journey started when visiting a vegetable-market in Morocco. At this point it lies on Norwegian national level but his work and of course many others might have contributed to bring this tradingroute to the world heritage list. Quite spectaculare!

I grew up in Klövsjö in Sweden and I am officially living in Oslo -Norway but at the moment I'm studying in Gothenburg while spending a large part of the year working in Iceland.
