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

After several days of preparations we are ready to go kayaking for 3 months. Until now everything has gone well because of my organizational and communication skills. I am the perfect leader and as long as the two dumbheads continue listening to me, everything will go perfectly for the next months.  Big thanks to the … Continue reading We are on the water!

For the next 3 months we will be kayaking our way north, enjoying Norway from new point of view. In reality we will not be traveling that much northward, because we will be paddling in and out of fjords along the coast. The west coast of Norway and the fjords connected are one of the … Continue reading Gearing up for next mission

After many days with very high temperatures and awesome weather, we finally arrive in Aurlandsvangen. The last day was challenging physically, since we had to walk the last 10 km on foot. The 13 km after our last camp we could do normally on skis, since the terrain declined at a slow rate and we … Continue reading Arriving at Aurlandsvangen

We are only a few days away from arriving at Aurlandsvangen at Sognefjorden. The last days have been truly awesome, constant sunshine and fantastic temperatures. We are enjoying the last days of snow before the landscape abruptly will change, going steeply in to the fjord and the snow will give way to the spring and … Continue reading Walking on sunshine

To celebrate the day, we decided to see if we … Continue reading On the road for exactly 2 months

After staying for some days at Skarvereiret, grounded by the weather, we continued our journey over Hallingskarvet. Our next camp is at a new cool cabin, Lordehytta (Lords hut), built in 1880 by the eccentric lord Garvagh. It was originally built as a hunting cabin and was the finest one amongst the other cabins that … Continue reading From one cool cabin to another

Before we head directly to Songnefjorden, where we have our kayaks are stored, we are going to cross Hallingskarvet, one of Europe’s largest mountain plateaus. We are now staying at a cabin called Skarvereiret (Translated it would mean the Cormorants nest), which is placed on top of a 150 meter high cliff, overlooking Hardangervidda and … Continue reading Staying at Norway’s coolest cabin

We have now crossed Hardangervidda national park and the last couple of days have been really great. The weather has been nice and we experienced a weather phenomenon called halo. Halo is a phenomenon where you get vertical rainbow, but it is not a rainbow, since there is no rain. But the light interacts with … Continue reading Crossing Hardangervidda national park

Today we had the joy of meeting the renound dog sled racer Robert Sørlie. Robert is one of Norway’s most decorated dog sled racer and is the only non-American that has won the Iditarod race in Alaska. He and his friend, Henrik Wessel, arrived while we were sitting outside in the sun at Sandhaug lodge. … Continue reading Meeting Norway’s best dog sled racer
