Oslo Pilgrim Center

531 km - that's the length of the Camino Ukraine de Santiago. This pilgrim route starts in Kyiv and goes to Lviv and further on to Santiago de Compostela. You are invited to do a pilgrim walk from Kyiv to Lviv, not in Ukraine, but where you live. Walk a stage or more locally in solidarity with Ukraine!

At the Pilgrim Centre you get all the information you need for your pilgrimage. You can buy your pilgrim credential, badges and stickers to have on your rucksack or jacket. We have overview map and guidebooks in all available languages (Norwegian, German, Dutch, Italian, English). We have knowledge of temporary adjustments and changes to the path and the places of accommodation. – All it takes to make you well prepared!

The Pilgim senters in Oslo, Hamar and Granavollen has a hammock project this summer! You can borrow a hammock (with mosquito netting and tarp) in Oslo and deliver it in Hamar or Granavollen. This is a free service! (The project is supported by the municipality of Viken)

Here you will find information about pilgrim walks in your region and how to sign up.

At the Pilgrim Centre of Oslo you can also, independently of your confessional or religious belonging, receive the pilgrim's blessing. Experience how it is to be sent off on your pilgrimage the same way medieval pilgrims started their pilgrimage, with a blessing. Every pilgrim receiving the blessing also receives a blue or green ribbon to help you remember the blessing you have received. – When at the pilgrim centre, remember to ask if the pilgrim priest is available to give you the blessing!

Vadstena, the Holy Birgitta and two Pilgrim walks. The pilgrim priest, Hans-Erik Lindström, will be our guide in Vadstena and lead one of the pilgrim walks. October 5 – 8, 2023
