Summer in Trøndelag! After weeks of single-digit temperatures (Celsius, in June!) the heat was on, and we needed to cool down. Knut’s cousin Gry arrived in Trøndelag with her bathing suit in her luggage, ready to join a ‘ToBatheOrNotToBathe Adventure‘. What could possibly be a better choice than the river Nævra on a short detour between Værnes Airport and Trondheim?
We had tried to have a bath in Nævra before, but ended up swimming in Humla, so this time we started a little further upstream. This is a really nice area! ‘Næverhølet‘ was a tantalizing name on the map that we absolutely had to try. Well yes, there was kind of a hole in the river as it meandered quietly and beautifully. But to go bathing there? No, it just seemed too boring.
So we went back to the car, and oh yes, that was the right choice. Further downstream there were waterfalls! You can jump, and you can swim in Nævra!
We first tested something that might have been ‘No 1‘. (ref post ‘Winter Waterfall Wonderland‘).
‘No 2‘ was more like a jacuzzi, but fun, Gry thought.
‘No 3‘, on the other hand – it was impossible. Despite a good height, there was no free fall, and no pool to swim in either.
When we arrived, there were 3 boys jumping into ‘No 1‘. Fortunately, they stepped back when we arrived, so we didn’t get them in the head. However, we didn’t dive this time. Knut did not want to risk a recurrence of his back problem, and the ladies, unfortunately, just weren’t brave enough.
But as a bathing place! Bathing or jumping in Nævra is just right!
