I Decided to INVADE Norway | Climbing Galdhøpiggen, HIGHEST Mountain in Norway

- It's a well-known fact that if you plant a flag at the highest point of a country, you have conquered that country. Right? So I decided that it's time for Sweden to conquer Norway. In this video I'm trying to climb the highest mountain in Norway so I can claim it on behalf of the king of Sweden.

This video is a joint Swedish and Lithuanian expedition where we embark on a road trip from Stockholm to the Spiterstulen tourist camp in Norway, and from the we begin our ascent of Galdhøpiggen, the highest mountain in Norway. Galdhøpiggen is 2469 m tall (8100 feet), and northern Europe's highest mountain. But it's possible to climb for a normal person - all you need is hiking and a bit of scrambling to get up there. That doesn't mean that it's easy though - this was a full day of misery and pain.
Along the way I give you some history about Norway, show our campsites, tell you about the tradition of Norway jokes, and I feel bad about not feeding ducks. But most importantly, I show you the magnificent views on the way to Spiterstulen which lies in the mountainous Jotunheimen region in Norway...and the even more magnificent views on the way up the mountain.
So, how will this expedition go? Will we reach the top? Will we plant a Swedish flag on top of the mountain? Will Norway become Swedish...or have I misunderstood something about how all of this works? You'll have to watch the video to find out.

Absolutely amazing 🤩🎉
Thank you so much :D
I’m a recent subscriber but I’m definitely hooked on this now. Very humorous and entertaining. One day I may be able to visit these places. Peace and happiness to you.
Thank you so much! Hope you're doing great where you are - and that you get to see all the places you wish :D
Wow looks great. I was thinking that we should go to Norway as well as I am 4-5h away from the border, but I will end up in Trondheim and we shall see from there 🦌🌲😉
Trondheim also sounds like an awesome destination in Norway! I think I need to go there someday as well to see more of the country 😀
I smiled a bunch with your jokes about Norway...But I was in awe of the beautiful landscapes of the mountain.
That's what I was hoping for - just a bit of cheesiness, but the view is what really matters :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond It seems like a hell of an adventure....💪🏻
@@midmiddleton163 Oh it was! I was completely dead after getting down. Totally exhausted, legs and knees hurting... So sore!
@@ThreeStarVagabond I bet the little.bottle.of.Booze atop the mountain helped ease you pain 😂.
@@midmiddleton163 I'll bring a beer the next time! That wasn't nice at all when you're dehydrated and tired :D
One of your funniest videos.
Wow, thanks! Glad to hear it :D
Don't forget Norway was invaded by Germany in WW2. You might want to re-think your wording?
Wow what an adventure, the climb in spots looked quite steep and slippery with the snow. I would call the 6 1/2 hour climb a conserving energy one, you enjoyed the sights unlike the rest of them 😂. I’m glad you reclaimed Swedens rightful ownership of the mountain and no one can take that away from you. I love camping, as primitive as it may be so I’d give you a 2 star vagabond not a zero. Stay safe till next time
It actually was really steep, and very hard to go uphill in the snow. Well, on the rocks as well for that matter :D I really needed to conserve my energy 'cause I was just going on fumes on the way back. Completely exhausted! The camping was extremely nice, and I'm so happy we beat that darn mountain :D Cheers!
Another entertaining travel review! Great stuff man! Is Iceland and Greenland on the to do list?
Thank you! :D Oh absolutely, and Svalbard too. But yeah... It's just always this question about what to spend my vacation days on :/
@@ThreeStarVagabond Johnny Harris did a great story on Greenland…I get the impression it may be expensive but it’ll be worth it! Will you travel North and meet some Sami peoples? Check out the film SISU! Tough! Northern Finland looks amazing too…
@@RegularCanadianFella Damn, those are some great options to explore.. Haha, alright then, two more things for my todo list :D
Underholdende video! Favorabelt at Dere Svensker besøker den Norske naturen. Hilsen fra Nordmann.
Tack så mycket :D Norge är otroligt vackert - det var ett riktigt roligt äventyr att åka dit!
Really nice video of turen til Galdhøgpiggen, You should do more of nature stuff like this. Du må reise hele kystlinjen i fra Kristiansand til Lofoten ;) Just saying !
Thank you! :D Will try to do it when I can... I'd love to visit Lofoten! And Trolltunga. And that coastal road north of Trondheim! So many places to visit...
and best thing is that you can travel with public transport all way, a mix between buss/train/Ferry and hey, bring your bike, we in Norway welcome bikes on public transport @@ThreeStarVagabond
@@Thomas_Heinonen Oooh... Now that would be an adventure indeed! That's such a great tip :D
When will you attempt a straight line mission across Gotland? :)
Well not right now at least when the ferries are broken and I couldn't get back ;D And straight line? That's like... Half across water! I guess I could kayak that bit though... Hmm...
@@ThreeStarVagabondLol. *Across* Gotland, not *to* Gotland. Like this guy across Wales:
ruclips.net/video/M7w986ni7_g/видео.html
@@tumarfa Haha, that's what I meant. First I need to get to Gotland with the ferry. And then, if I were to go in a straight line between the northern point to the southern, it'd cross a large bay - since Fårö and lots of stuff is sticking out to the north east.
@@ThreeStarVagabondThat would be an overly ambitious line to travel by. You could just do east-west, shortest length like others have done in other countries. You could even have a porter to carry your stuff, but I'm not sure if that would be considered cheating. But at least in Sweden you shouldn't be chased by angry farmers when crossing their land, as happens in Wales and Scotland, so the lowered stress level could make it a more leisurely stroll.
@@tumarfa Oooh I see! It doesn't have to be the longest line... Haha, it does sound like a fun experience. I have been curious about doing a long hike. But then, it's always a question of what to spend my vacation time on :/
You should consider hiking Denmarks highest "mountain". It would make a great clip.
Dude, that's an amazing idea! I could make it into an epic road trip movie to Denmark, and then....just walk up that hill. "There, that's it." :D
Cheap alcohol in Sweden 😂😂😂 Hello to my countryman Rolandas. Represent!🎉
He was like a mountain goat! Lithuanians are definitely better mountain climbers :D
Hi how are you my friend hopefully you’re doing well
Hey! Pretty good so far - even though autumn is coming right now.... Hope you're having a great week!
Summer ☀️ time start here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 and Australia 🇦🇺 u should come here and explore some other places in southern Hampshire
@@alfredbrook I would LOVE to go to NZ! But it's a bit far off so I need a lot of vacation time for a trip like that. One of these days I'll make it over there though, for sure ^_^
Ok, you can take Galdhøpiggen but we will keep the rest of the country. 🙂
Oh no, my plan failed! I just wanted you guys to take Sweden in retribution :D
That must have been an enjoyable trip, and good to be able to share the driving. I guess people like making fun of their neighbours, Brits used to make similar jokes about the Irish until it became politically incorrect, the Dutch and French joke about the dumb Belgians (poor Belgians who get it from both sides), Germans about Poles. Let's see, who have I missed, do those potato-eating Danes get let off the hook? I digress.... lol. You're lucky Norges Rikspoliti weren't waiting for you on the summit of Galdhøpiggen, I guess they're all laughing into their crates of cheap Systembolaget alcohol and duty-free godis.
Weell, it was mostly enjoyable but my legs were absolutely killing me on the way down :D I really hated that part! But yeah I think it makes sense for everyone to joke about their neighbours. It's all in good fun after all - at least these days. But speaking of the Danish, did you know that Sweden and Denmark have the record of number of wars with each other? So there might be a bit more bite in the jokes between those two countries :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond Those marauding Vikings were quite vicious in Britain back in the day. Did they come from present-day Sweden, Denmark or Norway? I'm glad our relations with Scandinavia have improved since.
@@DikWhite That's really hard to say since nothing today looks like it did back then. I think it was mostly Danes....but Denmark consisted of more territory back then. Happy that things are better all over nothern Europe these days!
There was some Sweds as well!@@DikWhite
Glad to hear that :D
MAKE NORWAY SWEDEN AGAIN
I should make a hat with that :D
😂😂😂
WTF !!!!
