We reached Kristiansund and from there continued over the Atlantic Road, leading over twisted bridges from one little island to the next. Afterwards we took a hike from the northernmost sand dunes to the Nordneset light beacon which watches over a very dangerous stretch of coast. At Farstadstranda we learned that these are the northernmost …
Lofoten are famous for its mountains and there are numerous hikes which give you a great impression of the magnificent landscape. We went first to explore 2 exceptional beaches: Haukland and Uttakleiv. The weather looked slightly better, and we were on the way to Haukland at the island of Vestvågøy. When we reached the bay …
The weather forecast promised some sun so we decided to use that wisely and go for a hike on a mountain called Måtinden on the island of Andøya which promised spectacular views. The day didn’t start that nice but on the way we also got some sunny spells which made us confident that we will …
At Mefjordvaer there is a big parking for caravans and from there a couple of hiking routes start. As the weather wasn’t really perfect we waited for the best moment and then jumped into the hiking boots to walk around Knuten and along the coast. Our parking surrounded by mountains was perfect. In the evening …
The east of Senja is the tame side of this wild island and the Ånderdalen National Park dominated by birch and pine forests and bogs is a part of this lovely landscape. A hike took us from the coast to Lake Åndervatnet. On this hike I managed to submerge in the bog, luckily Eddy had …
Lake Blåvatnet, or the blue lake as it is called, is another gem of the Lyngen Alps and for sure no secret. We went there on a beautiful weekend and many Norwegians had the same idea. Most of the way there is not really a path as you are walking over the rubble a glacier …
An easy hike to a lighthouse in the North of the Lyngen Peninsula held some surprises like a ship wreck and a hut to explore. In the morning the fog was thick and it took some time until the sun made it disappear but the afternoon was magnificent with sunshine and no wind – it …
Our second glacier in Norway was the Steindalsbreen in the Lyngen Alps, a mountain range east of Tromsø. The hike leads through the valley formed by the glacier and its river over million of years and crosses over a couple of moraines before you reach the end of the glacier tongue. Again we had spent …
By chance we had discovered this glacier at the Jøkelfjord south of Alta and went for a hike to get a good view from the shore of the fjord. We had parked for the night at the end of the street leading into the fjord. From there it is a 8km hike to get to …
From the Slettnes lighthouse we were now on our way to the North Cape. Before getting there we stopped near Lakselv at the Stabbursdalen National Park.
