Travelogues Tromsø

Norway, what have you done to me...... I knew Norway was amazing. By the way, amazing fits quite well, I think, literally.

On the evening after returning from our excursion to the North Cape, the next highlight was already waiting for us: a murder mystery dinner with the promising title “Murder at the...

The harbor of Tromsø

After a very relaxing morning (with a hearty breakfast, nice conversations with Davey and Sawa, and time to read and draw), I spontaneously decided to turn night into day (or...

After a leisurely morning of reading, sorting pictures, and simply enjoying, Davey joined me. We laughed a lot and quickly decided to bake the cinnamon rolls I promised today....

February 18th to February 21st, 2021

My faithful companion, the weather forecast app Pent.no (compares two providers), predicted for today that I would have the best chance of a clear summit at Tromsdaltinden...

The view towards the fjord on the way

All morning it drizzled a bit, so I spent a relaxed morning at the accommodation. After that, I headed back on my bike towards Tromsø. First, I visited the Old Town. In one go,...

My day today started again very calmly and cozily with a hearty coffee. Last week, I had chosen a concert by the Mainz (!!!) men’s and boys’ choir at the Arctic Cathedral. I...

Goal number one: Bakery Vervet to buy a cinnamon roll. Afterwards, I briefly stopped by the tourist information to get some advice on ferry connections, bus routes, and the...

After a very cozy start to the day, I decided to become active again around 1:00 PM. I took my bike first to Grøtfjord for a small hike, and afterwards to Ersfjord for another...

Today was all about sleeping in since the weather was expected to turn bad. When I woke up around 11:30 AM, the sun was surprisingly shining. So, I quickly went outside to...

The flight went smoothly. 23 minutes after landing (…unthinkable in Berlin) I was sitting in a taxi with my bike and luggage. My accommodation is right by the fjord and has...

All tire dealers in Tromsø meet. „Hey, did that German guy come to you too?” – „Yeah, I sent him your way. Hahaha.”This is how it might have gone. In any case, we now know every...

If winter doesn't come to us, then we have to go to winter. That was the motto, and a short trip to Tromsø in Norway was planned with Elly. 03/03/2018: A short flight to...

We honestly come to Brensholmen mainly because it is one of the few sport climbing areas in Norway and it is close to Tromsø. But we really want to have our first rock climbing...

Port of Tromsø

The first days above the Arctic Circle, lucky to have seen the Northern Lights.

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...

North of Polar Circle - 69 degree North - Nordlichter

But at midnight, a long-cherished dream finally comes true: to see the midnight sun once in a lifetime.

On Saturday morning, after a short night, I went to Mannheim central station around 4am. My packed bags were mounted on the bike. I also had a huge box in which I stored the...

Our last summer day! We use it to drive to Tromsø. The most significant city north of the Arctic Circle (at least in Norway, maybe also in Scandinavia). The largest city in...

When we were leaving the Lofoten Islands heading toward Tromsø, we finally saw what Norway is also known for - reindeer!!! The ladies and gentlemen were grazing right by the...

We are already in the next harbor of Tromsø. Tromsø has just over 40,000 inhabitants, but it is the northernmost city with more than 20,000 residents. Since we are a small ship,...

I still have to report on yesterday evening on the ship: The quite large ship with around 200 people left at 9 p.m. First we sat inside and watched a presentation about the...

The second day started with a cable car tour to the observation platform. It was a bit windy but at least we could go up. A magnificent view. From up here, you can watch the...

As beautiful as the parking space on the beach was, the wind was quite strong. We woke up from the storm and left at six. We were rewarded with a gigantic sunrise. It was the...
