Our road trip/hiking trip to Norway was already back in 2017. In the time in Norway we drove around for 2500 km in a time frame of 3 weeks. In the article about Norway I only focused on the National Parks (Jostedalsbreen, Jotunheimen and Rondane) and Hikes we did. But I never explained the real deal with driving in Norway. Let me cover this in this article about our experiences. Road…
Another year came to an end and it is reflecting time. 2017 was all about great outdoor adventures. Going out with the tent in Norway, hiking great trails in Madeira, walking on the path of Star Wars in Ireland and being back to heaven in Iceland. But it was also a start of new things, trying to include more outdoor activities in the daily life with starting Mounting biking with a…
General It is easy to get around in Norway with speaking English. Norway is an outdoor paradise with endless hiking options. Even only driving around is a dream because of all the nice scenery. Before deciding to go to Norway be aware that it is a high price country. Even when deciding to go for the camping option the Norway trip will not be a cheap one. Mostly expensive is food…
The Hardangervidda is a mountain plateau in the central south of Norway. We stayed on a camping site in Kinsarvik (25 degree and sunny weather). For seeing the plateau we took a day trip to see the Voringsfossen and the Hardangervidda itself. As the plateau is 1100 to 1700 m high, we saw it mostly in snow. As we already figured out in the Jotunheimen National Park, May is just to…
Sitting at the Preikestolen Before we go over board with this article, let me summarize some things. Norway is a beautiful country, with amazing fjords, views, hikes and outdoor adventures. Even the Preikestolen Hike is in that category. But due to the fact that it is really well-known, my personal answer to the question "Is it worth" would be no. This place is overrun by tourists, which are not good at…
The Jostedalsbreen National Park should not be missed during a visit in Norway. It is a beautiful park with several hiking options. The most popular once are the glacier hikes. Even that you will see many cars in the parking spot, we did not see many people at the hike itself. Where to stay Jostedal Camping - nice camping site with huts directly at the river in a beautiful surrounding. Just…

Jotunheimen National Park Norway for me was always Glaciers, Fjords and amazing hikes. For that reason the Jotunheimen National Park was on the top of the list, for our Norway trip. Original plan was to stay there for a couple of days hiking. On our arrival day, 4 guys showed us pictures that the top of the Besseggen Ridge hike is still covered in snow. They were not able to see…
The plan after arriving in Norway was to hike for a few days in the Rondane National Park. Sadly this plan was crossed by massive rain and bloated hiking trails. We had three attempts but the trails were under water and hiking would only be possible in rubber boats. Same was true for the camping options in the park. The ground was so soaked that we did not even try to…
