Hiker stumbles on massive medieval reindeer traps in Norway
The 1,500-year-old site was hidden beneath the dark, damp ice. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. In the fall of 2024, a hiker named Helge Titland was trekking through Aurlandsfjellet, a mountainous region and plateau in Norway and got a little more than just some time with nature. Titland found some strange wooden stakes peaking out of melting snow. He wisely reported it to local archaeologists, but snow returned before the team could investigate.
