As an American there is so much of Norway that I don't know about. Today I am very excited to take a look at some awesome things you can visit in between Oslo and Bergen. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Tyler! Seriously!!! Now you bring your family with you this coming summer, and come visit Norway! Rent a campervan, and drive around the West of Norway for a week or two. Or even better, start looking for a job, and come live here! You've done your research, and know deep down that this is the smartest thing you can do for your family, as you will all be well taken care of. I'm sure you wouldn't regret it😉😊✌️😊😊😊
Hey Tyler, please do answer!
😂good choice. He's actually an American that I want here
Tyler won't leave his comfort zone in his bubble.
@@84com83 You'll be lucky never leave any answer to any of the comments across his 3 channels.
Hope this was just a joke😅 .This is not his only account. He reacts to other countries as well, I assume it’s his hobby. Not everyone wants to move to Norway, maybe he wants for all I know, but I don’t think so,. Specifically not just cuz of a YT account. If he really wants to visit I’m sure he will, but telling people to move and bring their family is weird. Life doesn’t work that way. And what do you mean he knows it’s the smartest thing he can do for his family. You don’t know if he has children. And anyways, moving kids to the other side of the world without any family ties to the country, is perhaps not the best choice. Norway is for sure a great country, but so is the US compared to soooo many countries. People can have a great life in the US.
I'm a Brit who lived in Bergen (now live in Tromsø), lovely city, often used to drive inland about two thirds of the way to Oslo. It's stunningly beautiful up on the Hardangervidda (plateau) and such a scenic drive.
Fabulous country, I love it, and the Norwegians. I even like the weather which is often raining or snowing!
Velkommen!
I have worked in Norway on different places for 'some years'. Bergen were the longest time, more than a year (travelfitter).
Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim, Oslo, Fredrikstad, Sarpsborg and some smaller places..
As swede I like Norway.
Norway is a stunning country🇸🇪🇧🇻
Ive been to Norway 35+ times now i think. First time 1973(2 years old) going with my mom and grand parents. Last time was 2023 with my wife. Im going to continue my vacations there until im dead. Ive been almost everywhere from Kristiansand in the south to Kirkenes in the far north east bording Russia, but still i have a few places i must go to. Norway wont get rid of this swede for many years to come 😂
As a Dane, it is one of very few "Stavkirker" I haven't visited, during years in my youth. I managed to visit around 25 of the 28 they have! I still have a book with small crosses for each visited church! By that, I have also passed the One sold to Germany! Finn. Denmark
Personally, I never get tired of the views. Vøringsfossen for instance, I've delivered concrete there on several occasions, when they upgraded the viewpoints for the tourists, and I loved every minute of it 😊
You need to Get your AMERICAN ass up of that chair, order a plane ticket this summer, and come visit! I recomend the middel of may, so you can see the national day in Oslo. Met an AMERICAN couple in Oslo 17th of may last year, they came from Colorado… and they was in Norway for the First time, never heard about 17th of may, and they where BLOWN AWAY!
Ive known a lot of Norwegians in my travels around Europe, and ive never met anyone mention anything about tunnels or waterfalls ever. Even when in Norway it was not what we talked about. It was about skiing and playing pool at the hotel we stayed at for 2 weeks.
We see it everywere everyday, we get so used too it we don’t think its thats special tbf😅
@Randomdude21-e yeah, om. From Denmark and we make some cool stuff too once in a while, but ita what ive been us2d ro since i could walk so i donr really jump up and down ovwr bridges and tunnels and even waterfalls. I walked up a tiny waterfall in Scotland in the 70s and nature and snow and old churches ans castles and all that is just how rhe world around me is, so i dont see it as anything special. I mean it looks good amd ota nice to travel in. But at the end of the day ota the world i live in. And jumping on a ship in England to go to the Orkney Islands is just what we did. Walking next to Hadrians wall when in the UK was just a normal day out. When you live in the midst of history and ots everywhere. Scandinavia. Scotland. England. Italy. Switzerland and so on... Thays jist places yoi or somebody you know lives in so ota your playground basically. Ita not rhis magical land that seems too amazing too exist. But when Americans react to Europe i notice im not like that, and that im probably been ruined by living in all this stuff and seeing it many times. So even if he's having a more normal reaction to it all, i got ro be honest and say that's not what happens to me when i see a tunnel in Norway.. Because even if i haven't seen that one, i know I've seen something like it at some point... Tunnels and lakes and whatnot is just what you tend to see when you travel around Europe as a scandi... 😅
So i jist go nice... Denmark is doing something like that right now. Like im thinking of a timetable for the trains or something... 😎
Now you know why we don't drive very fast in Norway. It is soo many things to look at😲
Perfectly said.
I drove that route recently. Its awsome if you love scenic views. Behind every turn nature find something new to catch your eyes..
This family's child has a real talent as a presenter! I love the enthusiasm! Still haven't visited.would love to go. 😊 Is it possible to visit some of these places by minibus, or only by car?
There are busses going all across Norway so that's possible. You can also take the train from Oslo to Bergen and / or other cities. Many choose to discover Norway taking ferries or cruise boats as well. This area shown here is truly amazing in so many ways ❤
hey, i really like your videos and reactions about norway. and it's great that you want to learn more about norway. it's winter and it gets dark quickly, it's cold and there's a lot of snow. it's 54cm outside. so it's depression time. your videos help my mood and time goes a little faster, so thank you very much. i want to show you a video that i don't think you've seen yet. i'll send you the link at the bottom of the comment. it's a video of a man from a town called sandefjord in norway. he's made a lot of videos where he enjoys the cold and does a lot of weird things. as a norwegian i thought it was fun to learn a little about america because you're good at telling about the differences between our countries. norwegians are happy in america because we have a history together. norwegians emigrated to america to seek their fortune around 1820-1920 because of bad conditions. that's why there are many norwegian americans in america. and during world war 2 princess märtha lived in the usa and was friends with president roosevelt. Norway's gold was also safely preserved in America during World War II when Norway was occupied by the Nazis. There is a series called Atlantic Crossing that is about Princess Märta and Roosevelt. I'll send you a link to that too. It would be great if you would make a video if you found this interesting. And it would be great if you got to visit Norway once and make a video with your reactions and experiences. Greetings and hugs from Tobias in Larvik, Norway.

Funfact about Hotel Ullensvang.
A couple of years ago when it was raining like crazy it actually flooded the rivers in Lofthus to the point that the Hotel had to open up the windows in the reception for the water to run straight through the reception in the hotel and into the sea.
Tyler, start a crowd fund to pay for a vacation in Norway!
I will contribute, and will house you and whoever you bring with you for a few days if you want, you probably want to see more places in Norway and I'm sure there will be people offering up somewhere to live and show you the local highlights in the area while you are here!
EDIT: I live fairly close to Eidsvoll, where the Norweigan constitution was written and signed in 1814.
It isn't that far from Oslo either, but I think there is probably someone living in Oslo that would be willing to take Tyler in for a night or two.
Where I live, there isn't very exiting fjords or mountains, but it has very nice woodland areas and agricultural areas which have it's own beauty!
I can house him in Tromsø!
I am over 50 and I still love driving in these areas. My cabin is high in the mountains, and I never get tired of the amazing nature and the small communities with the stave churches and old farmsteads.
Tyler, you really have to take a trip to Norway yourself and make a report on how you experience it! 🙂
A lot of great things to see along the railway too. Personal favourite is Finse. More people might know it as Hoth as it was the set for Empire Strikes Back’s opening section
As many people say, you should consider visiting Norway in spring/summertime:) you could do some crowdfunding for the tickets, and you could visit UK as well on the way. Imagine all the cool videos you could make. 😊
You're absolutely right, it's beautiful everywhere 😊
Have travelled Oslo -Bergen with train Absolutely beautiful and I can highly recommend it ❤️❤️🚄
Tyler! Come and visit Norway. I even spend a day or 2 to show you around.
About Låtefossen. Even on a sunny day, the road is quite wet.
Hello from Norway... The nature here is normal for us but we never get tired of it, personally I love the nature in this country most of all, and spend as much time as I can out in it, on mountain hikes, fishing trips, ski trips in the winter, and everything else wonderful that can be done in all seasons. Remember that here we are so lucky that we can camp everywhere in nature also on privately owned areas as long as it is not on agricultural land or nerdy private houses and cabins.
I agree, there is too much too look at and it’s too beatutiful to get bored of 😊
Waterfalls... It's water coming down from above. Just like rain. And we have a lot of rain in Norway. Some of it falls on a mountain and become a waterfall. But more amazing is that some waterfalls are converted to hydroelectric power plants. And because we decided to sell our power to Denmark, Sweden, Germany and the UK, the power prices are extreme at times. We do not have a single nuclear power plant (just one experimental I think), but we are one of the countries with richest Thorium resources in the world. Go figure. ;-) (Yes, that was more or less all ironic) 🙂
I recently stumbled across your channel and saw that you make a lot of videos about Norway. Maybe you should come on a visit here one day. You will not be disappointed 😁
So nice that you appreciate out beautiful nature! But I still wonder when you often say that you just don't have that i the US. I mean your nature is the no. 1 reason I want to visit the US. All of your amazing national parks with incredibly diverse nature seems so cool. From Redwood and Seqoia in the west, to desert landscape, more tropical in Key West and those areas over on the south east side, Maine, the mountains up north, Yellowstone ofc! You have so so much incredible nature! Some day this Norwegian wants to travel to all of these places :D I mean our nature is amazing too, but it's a lot of the same, the fjords and the mountains. I still love that ofc, but again we don't have the same diversity that you do ^_^
Haukeli Fjellseter - it is a hotel, restaurant and a seter. A “seter” is a grazing area in the outback with houses for people and livestock that are only used during the grazing period.
Though they went towards 'Låtefossen' and called it the most beautiful waterfall. Had they gone a different direction, they would've stumbled upon what is considered as one of the most beautiful waterfall in the world called 'Langfoss'.
Tunnels is super fun for kids as we used to do a hold your breath competition in every tunnel we came across as kids during long car drives
Prøv Lærdalstunellen, da:)
that road is nice in the summer but can be challenging when it is snow and ice on the road I have drive there so much that I'm used to driving there in summer and winter
The camera does not do any justice to the vistas on this trip! Pretty cool nonetheless.
Also, taking the Voss gondola on Saturday to ski. It takes you straight to my favorite ski resort ;)
7:57 I stay at Ullensvang Hotell once a year for work in the surrounding area. love to just relax after work.
8:51 there is one of the places I work on my job round. tests the fire alarm.
I feel like I am watching a young Norwegian actor and singer 'Geir Børresen'
aka. 'Labbetuss' (Norway's most popular children's show actor)
when I watch your video's Tyler.
It's a nostalgic trip down memory lane to the 1970's and 1980's for me.
Geir Børresen came out with three hugely popular music albums (in Norwegian standards) about 'The Smurfs',
and he participated in countless Norwegian TV-shows for children,
including the show featuring his iconic role as the dog 'Labbetuss'.
Geir Børresen is considered to be one of Norway's national treasures.
No wonder that Norwegians flock to your channel here without being able to pinpoint why you awaken the nostalgia in them.
If you search for Geir Børresen 'I Smurfe Land',
you'll probably understand what I mean.
I wonder how many agree with me here in the comments?
Geir Børresen was one of my least favourite people on children's TV ever, probably only beaten by Vibeke Sæther 😂
@@linam764 I absolutely agree that Vibeke Sæther was the most irritating person on Norwegian children's TV, with her pedagogic and overly explanatory approach catering to toddlers. Geir Børresen with his boyish smile and playful demeanor had charms in loads and buckets compared with her basic guitar playing and frail voice. I have to say that I preferred Geir Børresen as Labbetuss over the children TV-show actors portraying Gulash, Marianne, Indigo, Titten Tei, Sjonkel Rolf. My favorites were Henki Kolstad as 'Skomaker Andersen', 'Eli Rygg' in 'Portveien 2', Geir Børresen as 'Labbetuss' and Trond Viggo Torgersen in absolutely everything that he did except for 'Kroppen' 😂
I live in Sweden but I love Norway! Its so beautiful! You cant take a bad photo there!
Its not Harangervidda he is driving on but the road over Haukelifjell to Røldal.
No, it never gets old my friend! :D
When we travel across Norway, the teenagers constantly complain whenever we stop somewhere without a place to buy snacks,
so it seems like at least some groups of Norwegians have grown quite accustomed to this :p
As someone from Bergen ive made trips to Oslo. Ive literly slept in that first hotel once earlier this summer. Normally we sleep way closer to Oslo than tha thotel but this summer we decided to try it.
Røldal is like 2 hours away from where I live in Haugesund. I've driven to Oslo tons of time. That part of the trip is the more stunning one. It's a lot more boring in the area near Kongsberg. This isn't the quickets route from Oslo to Bergen, this is E134+RV13 etc. E16 + RV something is faster, but not as scenic. My parents got a cabin up there near Solfonn Hotell. Låtefoss is only the left waterfall, the right one has a different name. They come from the same water source though. They missed Langfoss though, not that long of a detour (means long waterfall, and it suits the name). When it comes to going close to waterfalls, there's another one near this route you can literally walk behind.
Its funny how the Norwegian kid has better English than his dad 😂
Completely normal, since she is still hammered with people who speak perfect English in the teaching material at school, while he is exposed to English from real life, British people with different dialects, Americans, Australians, Africans and people who don't have English as their first language at all taken. He has settled down to the fact that his Norwegian accent works perfectly. It's a bit like when you move from place to place - your dialect will gradually be destroyed.
@@ahkkariq7406 She? It's a he. 😊
Kids these days are more exposed to english, it's naturally easier for the young to be more fluent in english
This is a typical Norwegian Summer, no sun only rain and cold.
my dad painted some of those houses on Haukeliseter a long time ago
Norway just got some of the most amazing landscapes in this world 🌎
Skål from Copenhagen
Tyler...you know this guy. The cabin near the lake belongs to Pål and his family. -Yes you showed us this on yout channel.
I never get tired of the nature in my country
Greeting from Norway 🇧🇻💯❤
Many small citys have a rusty Monster of Town Hall build in the 70s. It is called Brutalism.
Never gets old ❤
It's time Tyler! Start planning your trip to Norway. You will get all the tips you need from your " online - friends". Bring a camera and make videos. Sooo many will follow you! It will be so interesting to see. So start packing! 😉
I crossed a waterfall every day to get to work. Loved seeing the various level of water flow according to season. Never got tired of it in 12 years.
The way you say «Americans would try to take part of a church home» with a straight, but disappointed face, is just unnecessarily hilarious to me🤣🤣🤣
You have been watching videos on Norway for years now. I hope you get the chance to come here and experience it for yourself one day.
There is always waterfalls in the spring and summer because the snow is melting on the top of the mountains. The higher the mountain is, the bigger are the waterfalls. It's normal knowledge and do make sense right.
You should react to the norwegian singer ' Alf prøysen', he has a lot of popular songs that a lot of people listen to. Especially nursery rhymes. He is a legend!
Welcome to Norway, Tyler!
There were no railings last time I visited Vøringsfossen 😆
I don't want to rain on your parade, but... The distance between Oslo and Bergen is less then 200 miles as the cow flies. In the US, this is a 3 hour drive, like from Kansas City to Saint-Louis in Missouri. Even less. In Norway, this is a 7 hour drive, 290 miles. Yes, the country is beautiful, but when you need to get from Oslo to Bergen you wish there was a straight road all the way. 🙂
Some thing you did not get to see in this video is the longest tunnel in Norway, Lærdalstunellen. It's actually the worlds longest tunnel with it's 24.509m/15.23 miles. ruclips.net/video/4BxM2zzHCXw/видео.html
Also the road from Voss to Bergen is categorized as the most dangerous stretch of road in Norway. It's a part of the national main road between Oslo and Bergen. Since 1990, 41 people have died, several hundred have been injured, and the risk of landslides is constant.
Fun fact: Between Bergen and Voss there are 40 tunnels over a stretch of 90 kilometres, which on average means a tunnel every two kilometres.
ruclips.net/video/d7qYh1Dvb20/видео.html
And of course, you did not get to see Bryggen in Bergen.
ruclips.net/video/XCNSA7ZmHFI/видео.html
Norway is so beautiful ❤
The Norwegian boy who spoke English was a funny feature.
Most kids his age speak as good english as him in Norway. We start learning it early in school.
Allvays the nature. We live in the nature and are used to it. I have wildlife in my garden and endless woods just up the hill. Fjellstue is like a Motel in the mountains.
I've been driving all over Norway.I think every region has a lot of beauty.And it never get's old to me !
3:58 "in America we can´t walk into churches like this" - cause you don´t have´m that old!
How do you think we come from east to west without tunnels ? 😂❤😊
You visit Norway not for cities, but for the nature.
Water falls is mormal yes. I didnt know it was a thing before the internett came. And saw foreigner was amazed be it.
I would love to travel around my country with you. Why dont you book a trip and experience it. ? 🙂✌🏼
You can hire a car in Bergen and plan a day drive to Oslo. There are 2-3 alternative routes through the mountains but Rv 7 gives the most scenic experience of Hardangervidda. It's also the slowest and gets snowbound in winter, I don't think you want that. People here love their natural wonders and welcome a tourist as appreciative as you, Sir. Take my hint NOT to speak too loudly about sights as "crazy" or "insane", or loudly compare everything as bigger or smaller than what we have in USA. This can be misunderstood. That is a friendly hint from an american who has learned to live in Norway without treading on local feelings.
Tyler you never driven through Colorado you do have similar scenery in America. According to you yo don't because you never leave your bubble.
it is a place where you can stay and eat when you drive over the mountain I always drive by when I'm going to the place I'm coming from the mountain conect oslo - bergen so you can get to bergen if you driver over it and odda and hadanger
You must come over and see with your country. 😁👍
If you get jaded or not really depends on your state of mind. If you're like depressed and stuff then all this is just boring. But if you're very much living in the moment then you never get tired of it. But i think that's true for everywhere. Try it with a sunset or sun rise, if you can't appreciate those then Norwegian nature is going to quickly get boring too. But if you can enjoy them every time then you'll never get tired of it. But yeah, same is true for everywhere, even a desert can be amazing with the right mindset. The only places that are consistently depressing are cities, especially if they're full of trash, bad smells, people struggling, lack nature elements, are filled with ads everywhere, etc. Then you're in a place where the amount of negative impressions cancels out anything positive, that's when you get jaded even if you were exited about it starting out. Something that might not happen if you're living in the rich part of the city where people are generally content, everything is clean, poverty is out of sight, you can watch the sun rise over the city from your penthouse, etc, then that city will probably feel pretty good too. Anyway, my point is that it's mainly about mindset, but your mind is obviously influenced by the impressions being processed.
Norway has the third most waterfalls in the world I think. Or is it maybe lakes?
Driving this road from Oslo to Bergen is actually just 7,5 hours
Im from Haukeli
its 25km from haukeliseter:)
yes, you are getting bored after a while of the view when driving past some spectacular scenery. But now and then, the scenery gets elevated by the season or a weatherher phenomenon, and then it gets to be a once in a lifetime experience.
Precisely. And it can happen in the strangest places. For me it was on the way to work after a cold night with damp air from the river, moonlight and morning blushes. The trees were full of rhyme and the light was magical. The place was usually far from special, outside the Kiwi shop where I used to stop on our my home.
You should react to Saltstraumen, the worlds strongest tidal current ❤️
No, we like our Nature and Throughout my 50 years, I keep falling in love with Gods given nature.
I'm 67 y.o. Never get bored of our nature.
It is warmer in Oslo today than it is in Indiana, USA
Kinsarvik also has Mikkelparken, a really fun and beautiful family amusement park, mainly focusing on the smaller kids. Was there last summer with my then 9 months old daughter and she loved it.
You say fjellstu. You are missing the E, in fjellstuE. And we dont pronounce it as i, we pronounce it as E :)
Haukeli ligger nøyaktig 4 timer fra Bergen,,og 4timer og 11 minutter fra Oslo😅
I love Eidfjord. My grandmother is born and raised there, and my mother has been there a lot. I have to bring my parents there this summer, they are 91 now so......
I was first introduced to Eidfjord when I was staff at UiB and we did field trips there. I've since gone back there with friends and stayed in a hytte. Lovely place.
@MikePhillips-pl6ov Very lovely! The people back when my grandmother was young was different than us. I guess you have been to Vøringsfossen? The road up there is very steep, now it is in many tunels, but her brother was one of the workers on the first car road up there. They were henging from the cliffs in rope only.
When the war broke in Norway my grandfather was almost in Bergen. He walked / skied home, alone. It is 425 km by road today.
Basicly fist 50% of the trip is not in the video, so this Tyler is only for the last 50% of the trip
You should watch this one if you wonder how Norway removes snow on the mountain roads ruclips.net/video/lG8jDu0xyQk/видео.htmlsi=XwO4V1ia95Utk5Y2
Tyler. You shoukd come over here to Norway and see the country
Is there Anybody out there that think there ARE ANY PRETTY Places IN America ?? If there are Maybe Tell Tyler About Them Then MAYBE, JUST MAYBE He Can Do Some Videos About Those Places ! As for Me I Think There Are Some Beautiful Places Here In America Even If Tyler Does’nt think So !
Start a go fund me. Send tyler to norway 😂
Of course my must have beautiful scenery's in America too, maybe not in Indiana
In the 60s and 70s many magnificent parts of the citys were torn down to make way for concrete blocks. Not nice.
Håper du kan reise til Norge en dag Tyler😊
As a Norweigian with family in USA and Canada. ( been to Niagara falls several times) its big, but not impressive. Little naturen can stun a Norweigian out in the world. We are so used to it

@lenasamanthagraham

- Even in a relatively small country like Norway you'd get hard pressed to cover/see everything that this country has to offer.
And yet the same holds true for Norway and Norwegian as it does for any other country on this planet.
Yes, you get a little jaded over the years...
That's one of the main reasons as to why we tend to flock to more tropical and exotic places that are vastly different compared to our own country and the scenery thereof.
Just like the same holds true the other way around and one of, if not the most important reason as to why so many people flock to Norway.
Although some people are most driven by the wish and desire to see and experience firsthand the country and the scenery thereof of the country where their relatives/ancestors originated relatively speaking, of course.
-
With that said...
Although it's really easy to get a bit jaded, it's pretty fair to say that the saying/expression "If you have seen one waterfall, you have seen them all!" doesn't hold true since they are all different and unique in their own way.

@@BizzyX78 so true. Even though its beautiful here, its very cold and expensive 😱
An undergroundabout.
Came here for the "wow's", was not disappointed 👌❤️
❤ the way you talk about norway❤
This is only half way ...
People shower and play in those waterfalls some times.
You just have to put Norway on your bucketlist 😁
Tyler i will awnser any questions you have just ask me something.
Looks just like Texas except the skies are lower, there is some green on the ground and some white spots
It is boring in norwey 🇳🇴😞
Tyler i can answer any questions that you ask just ask me.
Answer, not awnser. 😂
I know just relised
