A "fiskekort" is a permit to fish a certain number of fish of a specified minimum size in lakes/fjords/fresh water lakes. It's a measure put in place to solve an issue with overfishing.
Norway is split into fylker, there are 11 of these, and those are then split into kommuner, so a kommune can be quite small. Every major city is it's own kommune and Oslo is also it's own Fylke. Fiskekort means fishing license.
Note: there used to be 19 fylker, but in 2019 and 2020 many of these «merged» into even bigger fylker (making 11 fylker in total). Same thing happened to some kommuner. Many of these locations aren’t recently shot, which means that signs etc. adressing the fylker or the kommuner may be irrelevant, as all the fylker - and some of the kommuner - that merged got new names.

When you tried to pronounce things in Norwegian, it made me chuckle :D Would be really great to see you try this again (and hopefully get the full score)
Not always the case, but often the woods on the houses are horizontal along the coastline (west->west/north) and vertical around when you get about halfway east on the mountain
I was just re-watching some of your 10 country challenges and got an idea for a new format. "No Map Zoom Challenge" where you try to get the highest score possible and you can move around in the street view but what you can't do is zoom in on the map. To make it more replayable/easier you could also be allowed to zoom in until the neighbouring countries are only just visible. Just a random thought, thanks for the awesome videos and cheers from Finland!
Hehe, this is actually quite enjoyable considered that i am from Norway :P First time on your channel, but I found this really cool! :D Fun fact if you did not know this before: Place names and roads in Norway originate in old Norwegian expressions about how the terrain is around. If there is an "Eid (s)", this means that you are on a low and / or narrow land area between two water bodies :D
The Bike sign said Share the road. As many cars etc gets angry at the ppl cycling. That being said.. I Love you, and your videos. Cant wait for another cross attempt. Even if its wales again. I have watched it 2 times now. And will not watch before 1\4-2\4 a year has passed to watch again. Keep it up.
Round 2: I recognized that vertical mountain near Eresfjord right away! I can recommend to everyone, norwegian and foreign, to go visit Eikesdalen. One of the most beautiful places in Norway, that few actually know about. ;)
Fiskekort is a "Fishing Card", basically you buy the right to fish in rivers from the owners, limited by time. Unsure if anyone actually issues physical cards anymore though.
I have to say, coming from Norway, this was a pretty difficult set of locations. I dont think I would have gotten any further any faster than this. Funfact, the first place, Eresfjorden is first and foremost known only to be the place where the former road cyclist Kurt Asle Arvesen comes from. Without him no one in Norway would know of the place except those living there. Looked spectacular tho.
Watching this after you’ve posted the straight line through Norway challenge! You did indeed get the chance to cut through that beautifully still water :)
As a Norwegian, it's my duty to say that I am from Norway as all other Norwegians do in the comment sections whenever Norway is mentioned anywhere, anytime. Why do we do it? No idea. But we always seem to do so.
I'm so happy that Bygland and Valle got in on this video. I used to live in Valle, but moved to Bygland. My dad's reaction to that was really funny as well xD
6:34 I drove that road today, from Eresfjorden to Molde in the north-west coast of norway :D Beautiful place with lots of steep mountains and deep fjords :) Classic Norway. The name of that steep mountain you mentioned is Goksøyra.
The small signs will tell you exactly how far you are from the start of the road, or something like that. But I'm not sure where they count the start. Maybe from the last turn. I think they are there to help you figure out exactly where you are, for car trouble or other emergencies. Please like so he can see and use it for next time.
It's how far you are from the start of the "hovedparsell". The whole road network is split into sections around 10-20km long, usually split roads at crossroads or turns.They're only used by road maintenance crews and even then that way of organizing the roads was retired 1st of January this year. Source: I work on the app that road crews use these days instead of measuring the number of meters since the last such sign.
Look into Iceland, nobody has the perfect score. I've been trying for a while. It's bugged where many positions aren't on the road but like in the ocean. So even if you click perfectly on the road, you'll lose points because the actual point is not there.
Norway is very beautiful place. Last summer I made a road trip with my friend and drive thru Finland to north Norway with old volvo 940. Went to nordkapp and then south along the sea. across of Sweden to stockholm and there take a cruise ship back to Finland. Never seen a single mountain with my own eyes so seeing those with deep fjords was thruly breathtaking. 4500km trip with old volvo, no problem.
Big GeoNerd (and fan) from Norway here. You did well, buddy! I could watch you geoing about all night. Only sucks that I got work at 8 am. But the heck!
This is insane. I literally live 15 minutes away from Eresfjord, in Eidsvåg. A small but beautiful place. I’m unbelievably startstruck right now wow. When i saw you made a video about Norway, i had a small hope that you might get a location within a couple of hours where i live, but this. Just wow.
It's so entertaining watching you do this, with the "handicap" of not knowing the language, and other stuff Norwegians generally know. I've actually biked 3/4 of these places. Langeid is the exception, though I immidiately knew where to search when the kommune (municipality) signs turned up. I basicly know all the kommunes of Norway (around 428 until 2020. They are severley reduced in numbers now), and I'm actually collecting them by biking around the country. It's a weird hobby, but it's my hobby.
You are right, that river is considered to be one of the best for salmon fishing in all of Norway, probably why the booth was there, normally you used to buy the permits at a local shop along the river. My guess is almost all the buildings he passed is also vacation homes/cabins which are only used during the fishing seasons.
Indeed it looks perfect for kayaking. On my bucket list is to kayak paddle the entire Norwegian coast (I'm Norwegian). I expect to use several months, or even a year if I don't rush it and paddle the fjords in/out. Haven't thought about it too much (as I'd take the time I need) so it's just a wild estimate. Oh and never thought about meticolously looking for roads and that stuff. When doing these, I'd just look at the environment, topography, stuff like that lol
I love how my hometown were one of the first things you zoomed in at! You have probably 30 times more viewers in this video than the whole population of that town.
The white sign with the cyclist says “Del veien”, which means ‘share the road’. The sign is there to encourage drivers to give them some extra space. In Norway we value cyclist because it’s an environment friendly way of transport

i love how he pronounced "fiskekort" like "fiskekåt" which would mean "fishinghorny"
or "horny for fish"
Cant wait to get out the and start fishing! I'm so horny for that fishyfish xD
he said court, he even said "probably a fishing area" and court is kind of an "area".
@@EirikXL but it's "kort", not court. Kort means card. A fishing card.

Norway is split into fylker, there are 11 of these, and those are then split into kommuner, so a kommune can be quite small. Every major city is it's own kommune and Oslo is also it's own Fylke.
Fiskekort means fishing license.
Kommune = municipality. Example: Ålesund Kommune
Fylke = county. Example: Møre Og Romsdal
Now we know that the Norwegians were the commies all along.
Note: there used to be 19 fylker, but in 2019 and 2020 many of these «merged» into even bigger fylker (making 11 fylker in total). Same thing happened to some kommuner. Many of these locations aren’t recently shot, which means that signs etc. adressing the fylker or the kommuner may be irrelevant, as all the fylker - and some of the kommuner - that merged got new names.

In Norway, roads go on for ages thru beautiful places without junctions or towns
Too true
One my favourite countries to visit. The fjord scenery is downright epic

How is life in Norway treating you?
Log234 going awesome thanks!! I love it!!
I am from norway
Me crossing my fingers that you mess it up towards the end so we can see another video, and so it happens.
When seeing the mountains and fjords:
Others: "WOW!"
Norwegians: "meh...."
Meh
Meh I’ve seen better
Meh
I'm Norwegian and i *do* say WOW! Cause our mountains and fjords are beautiful!
Been watching your videos lately, and its strange to come home today and find you browsing around my home place! Keep it up, Tom.
As a Nowegian subscriber I’ve been waiting for this video for so long. Thank you!🇳🇴
I honestly love to watch these before bed because Tom’s voice is to calm.
Norway is so beautiful, a country high on my bucket list. I've been to the country's pavilion at Epcot which is nice
I know some cuban ladies in Oslo..According to them there is a shortage of cuban men...

I would recommend visiting Trøndelag and avoid the Oslo area if you want to see Norwegian nature
You don't come to Norway to see Oslo. Then you can just travel to any city. Visit Bergen or Trondheim if you want to see a Norwegian city.
