BALESTRAND: Traveling to Gulen, Sognefjord and Norways most artistic town // EPS. 3 EXPEDITION NORTH
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 ноя 2020
- When clouds cover the most beautiful rugged mountains above endless Fjords - it’s time to find the roads off the beaten path - and learn about Norways history. Welcome to the traditional district of Sogn.
After leaving Bergen in the rain (of course), we drove over the island Radøy on some small roads before we visited the historical municipality Gulen. Gulenfjord is a smaller and less known Fjord in Norway . The ride took us further to Sognefjord - which is the biggest Fjord in Norway and after finally finding a ferry we went along the Fjord on a very fun road from Larvik to the village Balestrand.
Balestrand is one of the most artstic towns in Norway and famous for it's architecture with it's dragon houses (like Saint Olaf's church) and for the Kviknes Hotel. Find out why I was able to sit on a german emperors chair - and join me on a little history tour through Norway.
// NEW EPISODE OUT EVERY THURSDAY 19:30 CET
//Join the journey from Switzerland to Nordkapp - to Europes barely inhabited places and it's last big secrets. The wild ride takes my travel partner and me 12.000 kilometres through 6 countries: Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden.

Sensationelles Video! Norwegian Rain im Trockenen zu schauen ist gar nicht so schlimm 🤭 Macht richtig Lust auf das nächste, UND immer wieder dieser geheimnisvolle Travel Partner 😉 Fast ein bisschen ein Howard Hughes Remake 👤 ... die bezaubernde Stimme der "Sprecherin" darf natürlich auch nicht unerwähnt bleiben 🥰
Ja, ich fand den Regen beim schneiden plötzlich auch nicht mehr schlimm 😅😂
Hallo Lea, wenn man deine Videos kuckt, wird man gut unterhalten, lernt was, sieht was von der Welt und bekommt gute Eindrücke, wie es so ist, mit dem Motorrad zu reisen. Bringt irgendwie viel mehr als Netflix Serien. Die übertriffst du locker! Ich bin auf jeden Fall froh, dass ich deinen Kanal gefunden hab und freu mich, mit dir unterwegs zu sein! Herzliche Grüße, Christoph!
Perfekt auf den Punkt gebracht👍
Das freut mich sehr - danke für euren lieben Kommentare! Auch wenn das kitschig klingt: das bedeutet mir sehr viel! Und wie schön, dass ihr dabei seid auf der Reise!
Hi guys yep it did rain a bit but that scenery was wonderful but Lea you have just admitted on camera that you was speeding 🤗 it looked like you enjoy it love the wooden house's thanks for taking us with you both take care and be safe see you in your next vid cheers guys 🏍👍
I didn’t really speed - I only drove the speed I am used to grim Germany 😅😂
Your trip is not only fun but educational as well. Thank you for showing us The World. Much appreciated in these crazy times
Thanks for this huge compliment. Great that you are joining the journey! 🙏🏻❤️
Small roads and big views, I’m not surprised you enjoyed riding them.
Yes, that was a very stunning ride!
I watched a lot of your videos in one evening without getting bored. Thank you for your explanatory information. I wish you a day of Health and peace.
Fantastic scenery from a motorcycle is living. Great presentation.
J'ai presque regarder toutes les vidéos de la Scandinavie
Nous y étions cet été
Elles sont magnifiques
Continuez
Merci
This is some of the most beautiful views I've seen. I love this!
Yeahh...we go for the future and here and now. Ok I saw some clip from Sweden also...that you presentates. Cool and thank you for sharing. The places up here in north...is well worth to enjoy and like...just like down in Europa...there many nice places...Bavaria...f.ecs. But I for me...think...and mean...and observe...all places has it beauty ! :-)
Spectacular scenery! Thank you for sharing your adventures.🇨🇦😊
Born and raised in the hot dry Arizona desert that gets less than 3 inches of rainfall a year, seeing all the water, forests, rain, fjords, and waterfalls is so beautiful and like Heaven to me. Thank you for sharing the history and scenery of so many amazing and BEAUTIFUL towns and villages.
Thanks for the Nice video.
TV documentary quality video once again, and the weather adds to the drama of the images. Thank you for sharing - amazing trip and amazing work!
The weather as well added to the drama while driving 😂. Thanks for the compliment! 🙏🏻
Spectacular drone footage and 1st class camera work! Agree about the rain, I even prefer 40+ degrees to riding in the rain. A lovely video Vielen Dank!
I think I prefer rain to really hot temperatures - but not rain in combination with cold. That’s too much! 😂
Eure Videos sind immer mit viel Liebe gemacht. Danke sehr.
Wie schön Balestrand, ich mochte die Klaviermusik, die du auflegst, wirklich. Ich sende dir meine Grüße, schöne Lea, ich liebe dich sehr.
nice, Norway is on my bucket list, unfortunately the corona makes everything difficult. Ride safe
Fingers crossed that this will again change next year. So many beautiful places to explore!
Ferry tip: When arriving at the ferry stop, ride past all the cars. 🤙🏻
Impressed by your research. I’m learning things about my own country. :)
I quarantined in Switzerland - since I lived here I got very careful with overtaking - Here skipping lines is very illegal, people get super angry and you have to pay huge fines. So now it’s better safe then sorry😂. But whenever I saw i Norwegian biker who did it, I did it as well. 😂
I want to thank you Lea, I’m living my motorcycle fantasy through you. 🥲🇺🇸
It's nice 😘m'y Dream to visit norway oslo, lotofen, fjords, tromso, nordcap i like the snow with the colors lol.
You are a greatest traveler I am so interested wishing you a save journey any whenever and where ever you are good luck.
your stories are so soothing.
Many thanks for sharing your trip and your ride with all of us. Really nice videos, music and lovely voice.
Waiting for the next episode.
So beautiful country, I want to do this trip next year, so I´m learning from your experience.
Take care. Greetings from Spain.
It’s a very beautiful ride - you will love it! 😊
When you sat at the kaiser's chair, you truly made it more beautiful and the chair of a kaiserin.

You are such an ambassador for each of these places you visit. All these places you visit are getting added to my list. There is just so much beauty around us especially in this area you are visiting. It's absolutely breathtakingly stunning. Thanks for taking us on these travels. Cheers
OMG you make the very best videos 👍
Nice video, thanks for sharing you naughty woman...speeding along the backroads, tut tut. x
🤣👍
🥶😅
What a lovely video again, thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Cooool and spectacular, Thanks and I wish you a good trip!
Herzlichen Dank Lea. Das war sehr schön. Gute Reise und viel Spaß dabei.
Gerne, hoffentlich bis zur nächsten folge! 😍
So fun to see you driving from Bergen where i've been living the last 10 years, all the way to my hometown in Balestrand. I hope you enjoyd your time there 😊
I did, the ride to Balestrand was especially nice!!! 😍
Beautiful reportage, Thank for this video
Gosh, who couldn’t be jealous of your travels. What a beautiful place, Norway. Thank for showing it off so well. Ride safe and have fun.
It is beautiful indeed! Great that you are traveling with me on this virtual journey though - at least you don’t need to be in the rain and freeze when watching my videos 😂
@@Got2Go, I’ve been in some tough rain storms before here in the USA as so many motorcyclists have. Ride safe and have fun. 🇺🇸
@@darrylmoffett8323 I just said to my travel partner that I want to travel the us soon again. 😫
@@Got2Go I Hope then that your travels to the US brings by way of Texas. The climate and terrain can be very different from one side to the other and north to south is no different. Ride safe and have fun. 🇺🇸
Thank you, very good, Spectacular scenery!
Awesome!! Marvellous video, Thanks!!!
Such good quality! The scenery is breathtaking👍🏽
What beautiful places, roads and views, that the hotel is spectacular. Thank you.
Your videos are so nice and calm, relaxing, very entertaining and also technically very good!
Top, respect!
Beautiful videography of beautiful places. Thank you for sharing them with us. I'm guessing, though, that the 1200GS feels heavy on some of the smaller roads. You navigate the weight well, nonetheless.
I dont mind the weight as long as the bike drives and I dont have to go more challenging offroaf tracks - for this journey it was indeed perfect!
Thank you for taking us with you on an adventure through the scenic places of Europe. I have to subbed to see more of it. New subscriber from the Philippines.
Lea, you've got a great eye for the beauty in simple things like those fishing shacks. I've been "RUclips traveling" in Norway by train, truck, auto, and motorcycle for the last couple of years. I'm watching all your videos (oldest to newest), and I'm happy that you've now brought your considerable talents to this wonderful country!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment!
Just absolute amazing! Thanks for the video so well poetry done. 👍
Thank you!
Wow thank you for sharing all these beautiful videos just checked your channel!!! They are really greate!
I've learned more about Norway today. Thank you!
My pleasure 😊
Breathtaking scenery! Sometimes the little surprises in a trip can be some of the best. Taking a small local road and then finding such beautiful scenery was a treat. After watching your Norway series, I have decided I MUST visit. P.S. Thank you for stopping to fly the drone to show us that beautiful waterfall even though you were starving at the time. 😄 Now that is dedication to sharing your adventure!
Wonderful details. Great trip you pick the right routes Thankyou Wings&Lenses gr
After a minute, wachting your video, I turned on the radiator "laugh". It´s again great but rain, rain, rain an again rain would make me mad. I admire your serenity. Great footage and I am excited to continue with you both ;-))
Wonderful! excellent road film, interesting storyteller!
Missed this episode in the series. Very familiar to me. I had diner in that very old and beautiful wooden hotel in Balestrand.
I always have enough food and drinks with me; just in case. We didn’t completely keep to the speed limit either, only in builder areas.
I normally do too - but we expected to find much more shops along the way to stock up so we started off with not carrying too much...
your adventure is not only about travel, but also educates lot of people watching your videos...keep it up leah.
So I kept hearing you say fjords....not sure what that is I searched and find they're created by glaciers. Very impressive. 💗🤍🧡♥️🌼💜❤️💚💙🌺💛So interesting.💕
Sitting on my couch at home because of partial lockdown and border closed and now watching you roaming freely with a GS same like mine makes me.........urrrgh......😫
I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into making these fantastic videos. Keep on keeping on👍
Thank you! Makes me happy that you enjoy them!
Love your trips, good videograhy and informative
Thanks Lea, great episode! In the first episodes I must admit I missed a bit of the “jazz” of Africa and your improvised splitscreen cellphone footage. But you now have a very nice rainy classical Sibelius vibe going, which perfectly suits your material. Looking forward to the next!
Another nice one ! Great music choices as well.
Fits to Norway 😁
The ultimate selling point of your channel is the history lessons we get in every video 😍👍
Makes me happy you like it. I sometimes wonder if it's too much - but then that's what I am interested in when traveling so I as well want it to be in my videos. :)
@@Got2Go Please keep up with it 👍
Fantastico viaggio, grande !
Wow Lea.. I followed you along since Africa Trip & when you decided to ride Expedition North I really happy & wait for every new episode. Your drone footage really enrich the trip beside the little history about of the Places you visit.
Thank you for bring us along, take care & have a nice and fun ride. Cheers.
Great that you joined the journey! ☺️
The bikes look great and I love motorcycle touring ,got to Venice this year on a Tracer 700 but I’m steadily convinced that I could go even smaller still when you actually assess your solo riding journeys.
Hi
Thanks for sharing these wonderful memories! I’m using them as inspiration for a trip to Norway hopefully this year!!
Fingers crossed!!!
Just amazing....
Lovely songs and vid is very professional and very impressive.....
Take care and stay healthy.
A big thumbs up, see you soon to next episode.
See you next thursday for some even more impressive nature!!!
Something in your eyes what keeps me attract to see your contents. By the way awesome videos and information dear lots of respect from 🇮🇳💚😇
Beautiful landscapes and roads.
Stay well. Ride safe.
Greatings from Portugal ✌️✌️
Greetings back to Portugal - want yo ride there again soon!
@@Got2Go You're allways welcome back here in Portugal ✌️
You’re pretty, however, your bravery & adventures are amazed me. Thanks for your videos.
Beautifully shot video.. really enjoyed it.. thank you 👍
You are welcome. Thanks for the compliment! ☺️
Fantastic video and views...
great video, like the info antd the views
Loved it!
Amazing Lea. Keep it up
Thanks for joining the journey!
Fantastic
Beautiful place 😍👍
Haste schön gemacht :-)) kenne Norge nur mit Roadtrips mit dem Auto und da nervte schon der Regen. Für die Tour mit meiner GS fehlen mir die ... , äh der Mut. Klasse danke fürs mitnehmen.
Roadtrip ist roadtrip - egal mit was für einen Fahrzeug! 😊
@@Got2Go Dafür hatte ich dann auf den Lofoten den Schlüssel im Zündschloß wegen Eigendoof abgebrochen :-)) auch ein Spass.
Beautiful ...thanks for sharing... ( PS When you return to Africa...you will WANT rain )
No, I will never want rain in Africa. Because that means that the roads get muddy and that means that I will fall all the time 😂😂😂 but I for sure will wish for some cold weather 😅
@@Got2Go Yes..rain and sand not a good mix...stay safe
beatifull background and foreground... ;) ( 11:39 )
A cool combination of good looking rider, good roads and beautiful sceneries .... that must have been one great ride, Lea. Just a suggestion ... (like me) most of your viewers must be wondering what kind of traditional Norwegian food/meals y'all ate along the way.
At this point we didn’t have so much typical Norwegian food yet - we always arrived very late, we’re happy that we found anything at all and actually never came over anything like a traditional restaurant for lunch. Seafood is big - you will probably see some of those in the next episodes. And in Sweden I made a lot of videos about my favorite traditional Swedish food. 😍😍😍
(My travel partner once tried whale - which is very Norwegian - but I didn’t show that because I don’t think it’s right to eat whale).
Fantastic video, nice work. Enjoy every single scene in this video. Interesting to hear your opinion and experience visiting my own country. There are lots of treasures if one skip the main roads! You did just that, which I like too, exploring the back roads.
Don‘t be too strict with me in the next videos - I think I might have some problems to pronounce Norwegian names the right way. I am already sorry about that! 😅😅😅
@@Got2Go , thats only charming, to have accent and try out language. You should have heard me when in Germany. I always challenge my self to begin the conversation with my bad germany language skill. But it does not take many seconds before the Germans ask back: Do you speak english. I then realise that my Deutsch sprache sehr slecht ist :-) Ich hat Deutch in die shule gelernt, aber nicht sehr gut alst du hier sehn kan.
THIS is a video blog of almost exactly my trip in 2007. Amazing
Hope they still look the same and didn’t change completely!
@@Got2Go just loving your documentary of this trip.
Thank you for making something that is beautiful. I’m tired of seeing an ugly world.
Always trying to see the good things - even if it rains 😂
its nice to see these videos are translated in spanish, so i can show it to my father
Music is very good!!! BMW 👍
Absolutely stunning scenery. Excellent commentary of rich Danish history.
Yes, it’s so crazy that at all of
These places there were already the Viking kings 😳
Awesome 👍
nice journey
Lea... the alternative Road was amazing & purely
I felt the Cold & Rain ❄☔😂
As that much your Journey gives us the feelings...
Congrats to you
But don't Speed😁😁💸
Just kidding
Wish you the best...
💚
I love your video, i follow them remembering my trip in Norway (I had a lot of rain too ! ). Just a small typo : it's not Larvik (where i took the ferry on the way back to home) but it should be Lavik. I'm waiting for more videos, thank you.
Oh no, that’s embarrassing! I already often thought that I needed someone to
Read all the things in advance because you can’t change those anymore afterwards. It will btw as well get wild in the next episodes with me pronouncing Norwegian places and names 😂🤦🏻♀️
I just found your channel thx for the fun and interesting journey.
Great that you are here now 😁🙏🏻
You shouldn't be surprised that you got a lot of rain in Bergen..............it rains over 2 meters every year!! :O
Second video I see from you, and had to subscribe :) Fun enough, I live in Denmark, planning to ride with my gf to Swizerland next year on my bike
Switzerland has such amazing mountains (hopefully by next year I will have some more videos about them so you can get some inspiration). But be prepared that it’s even more expensive than Norway...
@@Got2Go No worries, it's about as bad as here in Denmark, we have family in Lausanne and we were there (went by plane) a couple years ago. :)
0:10 i was in a boat just beside the road in the watee
Your trip is nice and so beautiful.
"...siga"
🇵🇹... bye
Amazingggggg
Nice video! 🏆📌
Really pretty video. Curious what you had to eat in the hotel? Norway is a beautiful country. Best!
Unfortunately very boring: I had a burger. But I was as well very hungry - that’s why no video exists of the food 😂
I don’t know, good company , a great burger, a glass of red wine, and that view! Looked pretty sweet to me! 🧐
@@creedm3040 to me too - but a burger is not exactly traditional Norwegian local food that tells a interesting story. But just in case you wonder: it was very good 😍😂
😘😉
Good vid
