Month: May 2017

The weather has been fantastic the whole of May and we are enjoying it to the max. When you even find perfect camp spots along the way, it’s the icing on the cake! There are many eagles in SognefjordenYou shall not pass!

Sognefjorden has many churches that are very old and though we are not in any way religious, we love old buildings and old building techniques. The nice thing when kayaking here is that these buildings are not that far from the water, so it’s easy to go check them out. Another thing that is great … Continue reading Old churches and nice people

Near the end of Sognefjorden is a town called Luster and at this place there is an old sanatorium situated 500 meters above the town center. If you are in the vicinity of Luster you should take time to visitthis place. The main building is 5000 m2 and was built in 1902 as a tuberculosis … Continue reading Sanatorium

We have now reached the furthest end of Sognefjorden! We took a quick break here at the town of Skjolden and celebrated with a quality dinner at the local hotel.

The weather is nice and we dressed up Obelix for the day. You know that it is national day when you see Balloons on the … Continue reading National day!

We have decided to paddle it all the way to the end and all the way back to the ocean. Sognefjorden is made up of a large number of other … Continue reading BASE jumpers paradise

Our first stop is at Undredal, a small town where you will find Norways smallest stave church that still is in use. The church is from 1147 and you can clearly see the hedonistic influence in the church art. The viking culture was still strong at that time, since the official christening of Norway only … Continue reading Norways smalest stave church
