day trips
Ãysand is one of the best beaches close to Trondheim. Get the Orkanger-bound buses. You may also rent a car.
hitch-hiking
Hitching a ride out of Trondheim can be difficult. The best spots require a bus-ride at the start.
For south/south-westbound travel, the bus stop close to the Shell station at E6, just across the street from City Syd shopping mall, may be the best choice within city limits. Get bus 46 to City Syd and walk, or get the Orkanger-bound bus that stops right there.If you want to make it clear whether you are going the E6 towards Oslo or the E39 towards Molde/à lesund, you need to get the Orkanger-bound bus to Ãysand for E39 or the Støren-bound bus to KvÃ¥l for E6. This may be sensible, as the traffic splits roughly in half at Klett, where the two main roads meet. If you are lucky, a bus driver would drive you to the best available hiking spot free of charge especially if you are from abroad.
For north/eastbound travel, get bus 7 or 36 to Travbanen stop. Sadly, there are no good hitching spots beyond the start of the highway. To avoid short runs, it may be wise to get a bus or train to Stjørdal close to the airport, then hitch on the E6 or E14 depending on where you want to go. In Stjørdal, there are good spots at both roads close to the station.
