    As a swede i think i love Norway more. Ive been there on vacation 35 or 36 times. First trip with my grandparents was in 1973, i was 2 years old and since then i have made it my favorite place both scenic and fishing for trout. Have made many friends and many visits to the same camping spots over and over. I will continue going there until i cant drive or walk anymore 😂 This is a place where love at first sight thakes a whole other meaning. A fair vacation with car and camping you need 3 weeks to see many places without stressing around. 😊

    As a Norwegian I feel I need to provide a small correction about 6:45. Its Troll's Ladder, not Troll's path. If it was path it would be Trollstien, rather than its actual name "Trollstigen". As stigen means (the) ladder, and stien means (the) path. A simple misunderstanding on the video maker's end here, but it makes a big difference in meaning. As the name is meant to invoke an image of a gigantic troll climbing up or down the rungs of the ladder along the steep mountainside. Not just lazily trudging up the zigzagging slopes.

    • @zaph1rax
      @zaph1rax 11 месяцев назад +3

      Actually it means path. Stigen (stig) is derived from the Norse word stigr, which means path (or Sti in modern Norwegian). It wouldn't make much sense calling it a ladder. It can also mean wanderer in the old Norse.
      There's also other names nearby which used the term "stig", not "stige" for the same reason, such as Trollstigplatået, Stigrøra and the former hotel there called Trollstigheimen.

    • @Halli50
      @Halli50 10 месяцев назад +2

      ​@@zaph1rax, this is debatable. The oldest Norse dialect is my native language (Icelandic) and to us a "stígur" (Old Norse "stígr" means "path", while to us a ladder is "stigi". The root of the word/concept is the same. We can argue until we are blue in the face, but we can agree on one thing: In modern Norwegian, "stien" is a path and "stigen" is a ladder. In Old Norse the meaning was probably more or less the same, varying between areas, but the meaning is the same. Trollstigen IS a modern Norwegian word, meaning "the Troll's ladder"

    The problem with most of these places is that they've had their tourism explode in the last couple of years way past their capacity to deal with, so these places aren't really able to cope with the tourism.
    It might be better to go to less popular locations and order hotel rooms etc up ahead of time.

    Honestly, I might want to root for my hometown all I want, but there is so much to see and visit in Norway, that you would need at least 14 days to see at least a bit of it. It might even depend on the season and even the day. As for the Aurora Borealis, yes, you can even see it in the south of Norway, but more rarely than up north. As for hiking; I mean, Norway is big. You will find lovely hikes all over the place.

    I live near'ish to a small town called Odda, which is not too far from Trolltunga, driving down to Odda you drive across a huge waterfall called Låtefoss, on an old stone bridge, it's an amazing spot to pull over and watch the waterfall.
    Then in another direction of my town towards another small town called Sauda, you cross another large waterfall, called Svandalsfossen, another amazing viewpoint.
    And one other place, a bit past the town of Etne, you find Langfoss, this huge waterfall you cross, has a rest stop by it with a restaurant/café and everything, and I believe hikes are arranged to go to to top of the waterfall.
    The West coast is the home to a lot of amazing views and waterfalls, and these are just a few within a couple hours of where I live.

    "Trollstigen" doesn't mean "Trolls path", It means Trolls ladder. No you wouldn't have had the time to visit all the interesting spots in Norway on one short roadtrip. I've been to most of these places, but then again I've managed to become a middle-aged Norwegian man by now😅

    Hi, I grew up in the northern part of Norway, Finnmark, so the aurora borealis is common, in the 70's the colours was way more, more pink, purple and blue.
    This young man went to Norway for hiking, and he picked his favourite places, and there are waaaaaay more. For the last 10-15 years, I have started to take my holidays in Norway, and have taken a few of this trips, all of them was spectacular. A few tips if you want to take your vacation in Norway; bring warm clothes, incl rain-wear, since the weather is unpredictable, and good shoes for hiking. Norway is also expensive, so check the cost of food, renting a car, and lodgeings.
    During summer it is THE tourist season, it may be cheaper if you try the off-season period, and less people around...

    • @oh2mp
      @oh2mp 11 месяцев назад +1

      I live in southern Finland and aurora borealis is quite rare here, but I grew up in North Karelia, where they were quite common. Then once I drove to Varangerhalvøya and saw so bright aurora borealis that I had never seen before and hadn't even realized that they can be so bright. That was very near to the autumnal equinox, so they were at their brightest.

    Interestingly, you can find quite a few on these features in Scotland too.
    Not only is Norway and Scotland on the same geological plate (Scotland is crashing into the English one) but the landscapes were "made" the same way: mostly through glacial erosion with the oce cap ending up in the sea. Compare the U shaped valleys and the fjords with the ones in the Highlands and Islands on your west coast. Firth is a derivation of fjorðr (now fjord in continental Scandinavian languages).
    Depending a bit on the definistion os island, Norway has aboy 50,000 of them. However, Lofoten/Vesterålen is the only area with an ‘alpine’ landscape where the mounain tops were abouve the ice sheet and the ice went straight into the sea, so there aren't that manyb island that look like that, no.

    The absolutely most stunning beaches I've seen is in northern Norway. You can clearly see the bottom 10 meters down and you really just want to take your clothes off and jump in the water... until you remember that the water temperature is just +4 degrees... and you will die in it after about 3 minutes... But still... :)
    I'm from Norway, south eastern part, but have been in all this places riding a motorbike. If you ever going to Norway motorbike is the right choice on our twisting, narrow roads.., especially in the western and northern part of Norway.. I have seen the aurora borealis many times and it is true, it is really fast... And I have seen it some years ago, when it was blue and purple.. Even seen it in my home town in some rare occasions...
    I've driven past turns many places in Norway and would not have been surprised it the text on the postcard hang in the air besides the stunning view... No wonder we used to believe in trolls, coz that's all that's missing in some places here :)

    I was in Edinburgh for the 1st time this past May. Definitely different than Oslo where I live here in Norway. But nature wise pretty similar to our highlands/tundra. And the majority of people was very nice. Not too nice either so felt like home🤣🤣🤣 The only downer and thing that shocked me was the poor living standards… like I thought the UK was western European hence a 1st world country. I thought I was in Poland or Latvia again😳 To me the overdone fjords everyone raves about is overrated. When you’ve seen them once… Norway is more than the stereotypical fjords. I prefer the highlands, the tundra mixed with mountains, lakes and rivers that even sports white sandy beaches as that’s where I grew up and my relatives lives as dairy farmers😍😍😍 Btw fun facts, recent studies proves that all Brits especially Irish and Scots are as high as 40% Scandinavian of Norwegian and Danish decent… seeing how English is a Germanic language and wouldn’t have existed if not for the vikings from those countries. Old English was very close to Old Norse. My bf is Icelandic and Irish/Scottish (25%) as all Icelanders are seeing how the Norwegian vikings brought Celtic female slaves on their way over from western Norway to Iceland stooping in Dublin which was a viking settlement. I’ve sadly never witnessed the northern lights and I’ve travelled all over Norway, even the Arctic Circle… buhuu😭😭😭 And lastly Norwegians doesn’t go there for their holidays, but Syden aka “South” meaning anything South of Germany so the Mediterranean: Spain especially, Italy, Greece, Turkey and Egypt even. Everyone else goes to their cabins up in the mountains and do daily hikes.
