I rarely comment on travel videos as I see them mostly as a "photo album of memories" for those who went on the journey. But this video has value also for the casual viewer and even for someone like me who spent 30 years of my life to scientific studies in these landscapes, making them my office. Thank you for a lovely watch. Credit where credit is due. This video did not make itself. It was created by a small family stepping off the boat and literally walking/driving/extending themselves into the landscape - also when the sun did not shine from the morning. Add to this curious minds about everything from old cultural traditions (the rule with the turf roofs is "you will change them twice in life - once with your father, once with your son"), great eyes (the videography and editing are really well done - it can be hard to see the "little" when being immersed by the 3-dimensional magnificence of the Norwegian West Coast. Good luck with your future travels on our beautiful planet. Bring with you the same bravery, curiosity, and hunger (for both local food and knowledge) topped off by your obvious artistic vision and story-telling abilities. If you end up in North-Eastern America/Greenland, remember that a tiny part of "Norway" is hanging out there - after Northern Europe and North America gave each other a "kiss" some 400 million years ago and North America brought back a tiny memorabilia (this is perhaps not the most scientifically accurate, but it is a beautiful notion based on a true story that your daughter will instantly get). And sure come back. This bedrock (at least lower levels) has been around for almost 2 billion years - we are not going away anytime soon. Keep exploring (and remember that some of the best adventures are waiting just outside your home) ... I am pretty sure that tiny trolls are hiding there as well (hiking down from the NE corner of North America after hiding in the slab of Norwegian rock up there).
Okay, now you made Angela cry again (happy tears)! 😉Thank you so much for your very kind words; they are much appreciated. Touring eastern Canada in depth is on our bucket list!
Spectacular video! While we may not be able to smell the air or feel the wind in our hair, your ability to capture the beauty of Norway in this series was amazing. 🤩 I take a ton of photos on my journeys and I have some beautiful ones from our mutual trip, but I have bookmarked these videos because my pictures alone do not do Norway justice. Thank you for your hard work capturing and producing these incredible videos. 🙂 Cheers! Jack
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! Like you, I've always enjoyed photography when we travel, but I'm finding that video adds a whole new level of capturing the experience. I'm so thankful we got to meet you and that we're able to keep in touch. Who knows, maybe our paths will cross again! 😊
What a marvelous place! You always capture places in such a unique and pleasant way. I love the historical commentary on your videos. It’s nice to learn of some places where we may never get the chance to go.
@@jeredlundeby9062 thanks for the sweet words! We try to include some historical facts along with the natural beauty of places we visit. We appreciate you watching! 😊
This is the best and most wholesome tribute to my beloved fatherland that I have seen. (And I have seen quite a few). It brought years to my eyes to see you moved to tears by the beauty of Kjenndalen. I went there myself this summer, and it is a truly remarkable place. Did anyone tell you about the two gigantic rockslides that happened there, and the shock waves that wiped out so many precious lives? There is a memorial stone by the roadside, listing the names of all those who were never found, and the most appropriate words from Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed," says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
We're so happy that you enjoyed our video. Kjenndalen is one of the most spectacular places we've ever seen. Yes, our tour guide did tell us about the rockslides by the lake and the great loss of life. It was very sad and a stark contrast to the beauty of the place.
from Trondheim , driving towards the Swedish border, follow the mountain road, you come to Røros. It's worth visiting, that's the other side of Norway.
You captured the beauty of this trip so well! We were on this cruise and on the boat ride in Olden with you. We can't wait to go back to Norway and see more of this beautiful country and landscape!
Nice video from your trip. My hometown is Loen and i love my hometown. Nice to se with another wiev and that you like my hometown and the turkis lake to kjenndalen 🥰
Norway was the most beautiful country in the world, but is rapidly turned into a balance battery for Germany and Europe. We were to the Sognefjorden Fjord this summer, when I last week discovered they had put up yet another wind power plant as a backdrop to my bellowed Totenåsen Hills, where I grew up, while we were away. This now dominates the entire view southwards and eastwards. And every time an airplane is approaching, lots of hard lights (hinderlys) starts blinking 40 times per minute, so the whole horizon is like a Tivoli at night and in winter. So I'll not enter my hills anymore, as you cannot enter any hilltop without being exposed to this new apparat-horizon. For the Sognefjorden Fjord they plan 4 wind power plants, so it will all be destroyed. Hope to find a way to photograph down this exceptional landscape, before we move to France. I'll just keep the memories and the photographs. We are becoming an energy colony for Germany, sad but true.
The Germans are diligent tourists in Norway. I wonder if they know what their naive approach to energy leads to? It's just sad. Fortunately, the Norwegians are on the warpath when it comes to developing more wind power. I don't think it will be easy for the politicians to destroy more nature with the wind turbines.
@@ahkkariq7406 Let's hope so! Our whole family are members of Motvind Norge and Motvind Innlandet, and now we start Motvind Vestoppland. Anyway it was a huge chock to me that the backdrop of my belowed Tjuvåskampen Hill was destroyed during the summer, while we were on holiday at Sognefjorden. 22 turbines does now lie as a spectacle south-east of Tjuvåskampen at Odalen, while I was fighting for a free horizon westwards. And 28 turbines looms above Hurdalsjøen Lake, how this seems from Mistberget I don't dare to think about. So we started the process moving to Nouvelle-Aquitaine in S.W. France, we spend next summer there. But I see I must photograph down Senja too, before we leave, it must be Norway's most spectacular island! At Helgøya the Engerfjellet wind power plant is just too visible, so I don't go there anymore. After Senja we settle in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and we don't come back before our governments have a serious plan to get down the wind power plants of Odalen, and they too have to build a fabulous village in Dragestil for me and my family in Skjolden.
@@ahkkariq7406 Oh, I thought this was a comment from Maria and the forest and her last video on the island of Senja. After her beautiful video I decided we go to Senja after our trip to Nouvelle-Aquitaine next summer, to photograph that island in aurora light. When finishing Senja we move to France🙂 I can't think of a more spectacular way telling good bye to Norway, than photographing Senja!
Kaylee:learn the language ( online or through one of the norwegian -american communities in the U. S.) and move to Norway. Unfortunately Americans must pay for the university education now, but maybe it's cheaper than yours. Go for it , if you really wish. I've done that and it's worth it.
BTW:I was 14 years old when I began to wish to live in Norway. It took me 20 years to forfill my dream, but I'm. living it now and I'm grateful for every day !
1:15 - the tourism industry must stop deceiving our tourists. The North Cape is not the northernmost point. A bit west of the Cape is Knivskjellodden, a promontory that protrudes further north than the North Cape. You cannot drive there by car.

Absolutely stunning
Thanks so much for watching! Norway is a spectacular place!
Excellent and professional editing, you make a travel video here that is far above average. Thank you very much
Thank you so much for the kind words! We're glad you liked it! 😁
from Trondheim , driving towards the Swedish border, follow the mountain road, you come to Røros. It's worth visiting, that's the other side of Norway.
When we return and hire a campervan to tour the country, we'll visit the east side also! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Another great video! Everything you captured was stunning! I can see why it brought you to tears, it's absolutely beautiful.
Thanks so much! It's an incredible place.
You captured the beauty of this trip so well! We were on this cruise and on the boat ride in Olden with you. We can't wait to go back to Norway and see more of this beautiful country and landscape!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! We're so glad you found the channel and enjoyed the video. We really appreciate your comment!
I’m not crying you are crying!! 😭
Angela still cries when she looks back at our footage! 😂
Such a beautiful place! great video as always. ☺

Just a fun fact. I am 50 yers old. From Oslo. I have yet to visit those places. Very glad you enjoyed it..
It's easy to miss seeing amazing places close to home! We hope that you'll get to visit more of your beautiful country, and thanks for watching!
Amazing! So much beauty. My kids said they want to go there sometime!
It's certainly an incredible place! Thanks for watching!
Excellent video ! Very well made. Best regards Thor
