Pick-up Cafe Vuddu Valley / Kortmans Lysfabrikk

Vuddu Valley combines Pick‑Up Café’s American‑style retro diner with Kortmanns Lysfabrikk’s on‑site candle production, outlet shop and a small museum. The site is a family‑friendly roadside attraction in Vuddudalen, Åsen, popular with road‑trippers between Trondheim and Steinkjer.
