To many travellers, it served as a “hotel”, too. For instance, famous Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen stayed here.

Today you can find Lom Library, Stave Church Centre, Voluntary Centre, and a souvenir shop with local produce in Loar. 2 The Bøvra River flows from the highest points of Jotunheimen.

Fossheim Hotell Vassvaglen – water roost 9 An old proverb in Lom says, “Give us sun, our Lord, and we shall provide ourselves with water”. Water was a scarce resource, hence it was important not to waste it. The water roost illustrates how life-giving water was led down from the mountains with the help of wooden irrigation canals. Canals could either be troughs nailed together (as here) or pine stems hollowed out, the latter being the most common. The roost as well as most of the newer buildings in Lom was designed by architect Torbjørn Fjellstad, and erected by Lom Municipality in 1985. 2 4 www.lomstavechurch.no.
