At Ulvik Camping, we have a fantastic view of the Eidfjord. This morning, the sun is finally peeking out a bit, making up for a day and a night full of rain. There's nothing...

This morning, it was about 9.5 km as the crow flies to the destination, although the actual walking distance naturally depends on certain uncertainties. If the boulder fields...

3 hours on the cutter go by very quickly. The sun comes out to greet us and Natascha sees the beautiful north of this world for the first time. It took less than 5 minutes and...

08/23 I don't want to say too many words about yesterday: we drove for a long time, the camping site (Holman Camping, on the edge of the Trillmarka nature reserve) was nice, but...

Today we should get even closer to the glacier, to Nigardsbreen. Actually quite early, but that doesn't work out so well yet. The scrambled eggs with bacon were fantastic...

After the night in Risør, we headed to our "final destination" in Norway: Kristiansand. We arrived here by ferry 18 days ago and we will leave from here as well. But before...

After breakfast with a magnificent fjord view and a bit of housework, we continued towards Kristiansund. Leaving Trondheim behind, still on the expressway, I wondered if we...

After our last panoramic view of Sweden, we continued our journey towards the border. An unspectacular crossing, the houses after the customs line were no longer painted red,...

Yesterday we arrived in Norway. The ferry crossing was very relaxing, thanks to a delicious buffet and comfortable seats, the 3:15 hours did not feel long at all. But then! Our...

This morning we were woken up by rain at 3°C at the North Cape. We had to turn on the heating for the first time after getting up because officially we were freezing. But for...

The day started early and that was completely my fault - I admit it. But being greeted with a beautiful orange-yellow view without rain and wind tragically does not motivate me...

Today there's really not much to report. Due to the tunnel closure, we had to go all the way back on the island of Senja from yesterday. In the process, we also explored the...

Today the day started very sunny. With these temperatures, we wouldn't even think about having breakfast outside at home - what a few degrees of latitude can change! Today was...

My week started with a long drive to Rjukan. Here I took the Krossobanen mountain train up to Hardangervidda. The Krossobanen is the oldest cable car in Northern Europe and was...

So, the ignoble Gaijin has no idea how the creation of the mountains took place, but let's imagine a dear God who has already finished his cuddly creatures and now wants to...

The unworthy Gaijin did not drive much today, but the Trollstigen made sure that the disagreeable traveler was forced to stop very often and that he fills the memory of his...

Being fascinated by the repeatedly appearing stave churches here in Norway, we couldn't resist visiting the largest stave church in Norway. There it stood. A large, dark church,...

'Another picture with a lake or mountain?' Yes, if you want to capture Norway in pictures, you can't avoid having fjords and lakes in them. Even if you google Norway, you will...
