Hegra is a small village in Mid-Norway, located in Stjørdal. It has about 2500 inhabitants. Here you can find ancient rock carvings (Leirfald), as well as the small border fort Hegra Fortress (formerly known as Ingstadkleven Fort) which withstood the invading German army from April 10 to May 5 1940, not surrendering before all other Norwegian units in southern Norway had capitulated. Hegra has a lot of good places to fish located by the Stjørdalselva. Hegra has its own grocery store, gas station, kindergarten, school and a local bank. Hegra is also one of the centers for the resurgence of the Dole Gudbrandsdal horse in Norway.
