The part of Norway no one goes to - Escaping to our northernmost mysterious county
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- This summer I travelled to the northernmost part of Norway. Our coldest, biggest, and most remote county: Finnmark. Where there is 24 hour sunlight in the summers as the sun never sets here.
I even got to spend some days in one of the northernmost villages in Norway, Berlevåg.
A rough, rugged and amazingly beautiful place that I am super excited to share with you in this video!
Also, to all my followers, it is nice to be back :-) thanks for waiting.

Aww thank you for waiting. It's really nice to be back too
I lived in Finnmark for two years. It was magical, and the people were so friendly ❤❤
That must have been an experience
Hello, Maria! Oh wow! I think it's one of the most amazing videos I've watched! So inspiring, so interesting, and absorbing! Your voice and your storytelling are just beautiful. And of course, the landscapes are breathtaking and it was really possible to feel the power of the place you've visited.
Thank you so so much
And so poetic too.
@@Mariaandtheforest Love your videos from India hope to meet u once
"domt til ild og bål" = "condemned to fire and flames" that must be an incredibly eerie place, with the waves and wind moving the fabric too... Chilling!
I've lived in Scotland my whole life I've seen the Highland Mountain Ranges and lochs almost every day, you fail to appreciate your surroundings when you live in such a great place your whole life because its normal
This compilation of yours just sings to my heart - thank you, Maria
Blessings from Michigan USA. Your video came up today so when I seen your sincere beautiful smile I decided to tap your Chanel not knowing your show. Your film and music is so tender to behold. Thank You dear for sharing your Rock Beach too. I love rocks❤. I am new to your circle of fans. Nice to meet You’all. ❤️🙏🏽🌎
Thank you so much! Nice to have you join our little community
Thank you for this beautiful video!
What a beautiful video….thank you for sharing. I would never get to see this beautiful place, thank you again😊
Stunning landscapes everywhere. Thanks for taking us with you on your trip!. Stunning landscapes everywhere. Thanks for taking us with you on your trip!.
We are Brazilians and we went to Norway in 2018. It was a thrilling experience and we promised ourselves to return. Thanks for sharing that and congratulations for having such a lovely place on this planet!
Volta sempre. A minha esposa ta trabalhando em um traaler As vezes ela vou para Bjørnøya, Bear island. Fora da casa por 5 semanas, e volta 5 semanas em casa. Temos casamento no Rio de Janeiro. Grande festa na Barraca da Ana. Em frente da Ceasar Palace. Gosta muito o Rio de Janeireo. Temos saudade do Rio de Janeiro.
Beautiful ! Thank you Maria for giving us a glimpse of Finnmark.
Exceptional beauty captured with your camera! Thank you very much Maria for sharing your creativity and your journey!
The sky is amazing ..it’s all so beautiful ..thank you for sharing
Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderfully beautiful part of the world in your videos! ❤
Thank you for watching
Thank you for taking me on this amazing trip to Northern Norway. It reminds me a lot of my country and how wild it can be the more Northern you venture. Blessings from Graham in Scotland 🏴🤝🇳🇴
❤Thank you for sharing your Journey. The sites and sounds were Beautiful!💙🤍
What a delicious video! I enjoyed the views of the fishing village so much and hearing the clacking of the stones under the pull of the waves. That’s a nature sound I hadn’t heard before. It was wonderful seeing you, Maria!
So glad you liked it! I had never heard that sound either, really cool. Wonderful seeing you in the comments too :-)
Thank you for posting this wonderful video. It is not so simple to reach these far north territories and it was wonderful to experience these landscapes through your lens. I’ve made it as far north as Narvik and more recently to Lulea, but don’t think I will ever get any further north than that. Thanks for sharing this.
So glad to have you back, Maria. Thank you for taking us along on this beautiful journey to Finnmark. Stunning video and storytelling, and so so worth the wait. Hope you're feeling refreshed and energized :)
I'm glad to be back
This was such a Wonderful watch. I would dearly love to visit Norway 🇳🇴. I would feel so at home. This was so lovely of you to share this beautiful time in your life with us all. It just fills me with such Joy. Thank you Maria so much.
I am so glad you enjoyed it! I hope you get to see it some day
Stunning landscapes everywhere. Thanks for taking us with you on your trip!
Thank you for watching! Nice to hang out a little in the live chat. I hope you get to go there eventually :-)
@@Mariaandtheforest Thanks a lot, it was nice to chat with you! I wasn't able to stay the whole time, but just rewatched the second half of it. I hope you're doing fine!
What a lovely way to spend these past minutes. Thank you for taking me someplace that I will not be able to go to but now I know that it’s there.
This was genuinely one of the most refreshing videos I've watched in a long time (and trust me I watch a lot of nature videos). Your commentary throughout the whole video resonated with me so deeply. I live in a big city in India and I know exactly the special energy you're talking about when you go to a less crowded place, with vast open landscapes and the raw power of nature being demonstrated everywhere you look or turn 🪄♥️
It's profoundly healing and will forever remain so. Much respect and love 🙏🏼
Really well put together video. Love your voice and the narration. Spectacular scenery !!!
Eerily beautiful landscape and stunning videography. Thank you Maria.
Thank you
This was genuinely one of the most refreshing videos I've watched in a long time 😀
So beautiful and poetic. I've been looking for a video like this for awhile
I felt happy seeing your face glowing with joy, dear Maria. I’m grateful you’ve shared with us such a precious journey. I would love to add more to describe my current feelings but at the same time I’m just- I feel speechless. I will pop up to these beautiful scenes every now and then to refresh my sense of joy ❤
Aww thank you. So nice to have people like you out there who wish to see me happy
What a truly truly magical place you shared with us🌾🌊🥹 Your voice is like no other and your voice over tells of your experiences with such passion. You have amazing talent, look forward to more from you🥰
So nice of you
Oooh! Good to know this part there. I enjoy that landscape found there.
Nice adventure into Norway's most remote region. As beautiful as Maria is, that region was just as beautiful!
Thanks for this amazing video from the far north.I enjoyed watching it so much.I visit here many years ago,so it was very nice to remember the good times.Thanks again.
Thank you Maria for a beautiful and inspiring video.
Cheers from Lille, France.
What an amazing land. Thank you for the sharing your journey.
Hei Maria, I enjoyed your video so much! It’s sooo beautiful, really a piece of art. I hope one day to visit that part of Norway. Thank you and keep up the good work! 😁👍🏽
Thank you so much Debby
My first time watching a video of yours. Beautiful camera work, and I truly love your calm voice, as well as the information you are sharing. Thank you!
wow, that was a nice vacation. thanks for sharing
I LOVED this. Much of it is similar to where I live in Newfoundland. I can relate to your feeling further north. That landscape and wildness hits deep in the soul, for me anyway. The stone that Bendik held up at 14:33 looks much like picasso stone. I am crazy for stones. Thanks for this wonderful experience.
Nydelig
I just found you and so glad I did. Absolutely stunning and thank you for taking me to a place that I have wanted to visit. Cheers from Trondheim. ♥️🇧🇻
Thank you for taking us along on this fascinating and beautiful journey with you 😊. I'm so glad you were able to keep your promise to yourself and wait until you felt inspired to pick up the camera again. It's so important not to force these things. Everyone who loves what you create will still be here with you ❤.
So glad you came along for the journey
@@Mariaandtheforest You both make a nice couple best wishes to u both love from India
This is the first of your videos which I've seen, and it is truely remarkable. You live in the moment and notice things in a joyfully unique way. Refreshing and calming it definitely is. I've come to think of it as Nordic Zen...
just beutiful, great storytelling, so inspired to visit north now
Maria, what an imaginary natural scenery, landscape, wilderness and on the top of all that your commentary is a cherry on the cake.
Bravo, Bravo and more Bravo!!!
Thank you so much ❤️
Truly beautiful. Excellent choice of rocks.
Just beautiful and inspiring to watch. Thank you
So glad you think so! Thank you :-)
Beautiful amazing seeing places like this. Nature is beyond compare there. Thanks for sharing these places wonderful and mysterious nature’s art like no other.
Thank you for such a wonderful video. 💜
super video -well made ..thanks & God Bless - from Ireland
Hey great video. I drove to Vadso and Vardo from the Uk a few years ago. Great experience. You brought back many happy memories. Thanks.
wonderfully poetic video, thank you, really enjoyed this, you bring northern Norway like a story.. it's really something!
Most beautiful video of Norway
So harsh, so different, so impressive and so beautiful! Nature is fantastic! ❤
It is ♡
I absolutely loved this video ❤ I love your perspective on the world - I can’t wait to see more :)
This is lovely. The landscape is starkly, wildly beautiful, and wonderfully captured by you
Thank you for sharing it with us
Thank you so much for watching 😊
Beautiful land scape.
Coldest country.
Awesome cinematography
Thank you for this video. So beautiful. You’re a great narrator as well.
Thank you so much!
This is what I love about youtube. Not the platform itself but the creative people using it.
Wow beautiful segment of a beautiful place thnx so much for sharing
Thank you for watching
Such a inspiring and beautiful place and video! Thanks for sharing your time there! Nice choice of beach stones :)
Thank you for watching
Thank you for sharing!
Excellent introductory remarks. Wonderful video.
Thank you kindly
Thank you for posting this wonderful video and sharing your feelings and experiences, I was always fascinated by the norther remote parts of Scandinavia , thank you for giving us a window to look through
Me too, glad I got to go and to share it with other interested people like you
Wow! So so beautiful. Thank you for sharing, Maria. @kleinane said it best. Wishing you more and more love and laughter as you explore your life adventure. Hugs from Ontario Canada!!
Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing the journey! Here in the area of Tampa, Florida we love the ocean and beaches too, but I especially enjoyed how your time seemed to slow down as well.
Not only did you capture the most profound beauty on the most minimal and grand scales, I believe you carry everything you experienced and found with you even after the experience is over and that you always will. What profoundly changes us gives us a platform to give and effect others in the same way we were. At the very least it inspires others to find their own experience and remind us all it’s out there no matter how we feel in life. I think also that you brought some interesting reflections on the nature of persecution and thank you for sharing that as well as every other moment from the most epic sweeping scenery to the tiniest rock. I think this kind of travel documentation suits everyone involved in capturing it and it is deeply and profoundly moving.
What an incredible journey! 🌄🇳🇴
Exploring the hidden gem of Finnmark and experiencing 24-hour sunlight must have been truly surreal.
Thanks for taking us along on this adventure and welcome back! 🙌✨
It is truly a wild place
@@Mariaandtheforest Love your videos from India Maria
Hi Maria! ❤ Beautiful landscapes. Have a wonderful week you both! 🫖☕❤️❤️
Thank you! You too
What a wonderful video 😊
Really nice video, it gives such calming vibes
A Beautiful country. Thank you for sharing with us
Thanks for watching ♡
I hated for this video to end! Such lovely country that I will never see in person, I feel blessed to have seen it through your eyes. Thanks for sharing it.
I am so glad I could share it with you
I so agree with you. It was a joy to watch.
Thank you for the kindness and taking me with you!
I've only been to Finnmark once for a day trip from Inari in Finnish Lapland, actually quite close to where you were in Bugøynes. It was winter and it was magical. Watching this really made me wanna go back. I've been missing the north for years, the last time I was in in Lapland was 2018. The north of Fennoscandia is just so special. Barren but gorgeous landscapes, the magical light in summer and in winter and definitely a special energy as well, spiritual or not.
Den här filmen är väldig fantastisk! Tack för att du gjorde den!
Takk selv, for at du så på den
So much like NW Scotland. Captivating, thank you.
Thanks for sharing your summer adventure in northern Norway, skillfully done. I visited your beautiful country in summer of 1972 while young and single and explored the Sognefjord from Bergen aboard a commercial vessel delivering goods to communities along the fjord, took the steep Flam railway up to the Bergen-Oslo rail line, then rode the train from Oslo up to Andalsnes, and that's as far north as I was able to go due to time constraints. I've always had fond memories of my solo travels in Norway, and have never had the opportunity to return. You have such a beautiful country. Cheers from Lafayette, Louisiana, US.
Thank you Lafayette :-). It seems you got to see a lot while you were here! Åndalsnes is also so beautiful! I have only been there once, but Bendiks mother is from there. Thank you
Wow! So glad I found you!
Hi Maria🙋♀️ wow gorgeous scenery beautiful video❤ you have made my evening a joy to watch Thank you x
Hi Michelle :-) So glad you enjoyed it
Wow! Beautiful video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it
Wow, this is a really good video.
really well put together great angles, shots and narration.
This top notch content!
Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing.
A beautiful video in every way, I love the musical score tied to the video.
Thank you :-)
Norway has such beautiful landscapes. I will never have the opportunity to go to the beautiful contry in my life, thank you your video has opened my eye.
You can if you set your mind to it. Think about it, dream about it and make it happen if you really want to.
I've been 2 times (only southern Norway, up to almost Trøndheim) and the countries nature is unbelievable. Like walking around in a fairy tale land with amazingly diverse landscapes with mountains, fjords, forests, waterfalls everywhere. Pictures and video's are good but they can never convey the feeling of actually being there.
Hi new subscriber from England thank you for an amazing video Norway is beautiful . ❤❤
such picturesque scenery
I'm following your exciting posts.
I just visited Norway in May 2023 , I made it to Oslo , Bergen , Flåm.
Your video about Bergen really inspired me
So glad you felt inspired
I’m so glad you made this video 👍👍❤️❤️
Me too
Somehow I caught your fascinating video. It was well narrated and ediited; it was though I was there and experiencing what you described. A Vietnamese friend and her colleagues recently visited Alta in July for research. Then (pronounced "Ten") is a journalist from Hanoi. Before her group departed for Norway, I warned her that they will see 24 hrs of daylight! From the population density of Hanoi to Alta, the climate, geography, the culture, the food, and the people were surreal for them. Then and her friends had not experienced such a vast difference in places. Incredibly enjoyable. Thanks!
You tell a story beautifully!!!!
Thank you so much
Thank you for visiting my home region, Finnmark. I live in the bottom of the Porsanger fjord, were climate is a lot warmer and fauna more lush and green. The coast of Finnmark is very barren that is for sure 🙂 I'm of Sami and Kveni origin, our people have been here for God know how long. For me Finnmark is the only place where I could ever live. It's great to travel and see the world, but I will always go back to the barren land far north of the polar circle, to the midnight sun and the northern light.
If you ever come back to Finnmark, please visit the central and western parts as well, you will find many nice places 🙂
Thank you for watching too 😊. I can totally understand why you would not want to live anywhere else! And being both sami and kven you definitely have strong roots to the place as well. I will absolutely visit more places in the future. I have been to Kautokeino too and loved it.
Fascinating ...THX....
Very nice video. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing ! What a beautiful country 🩵
The pleasure was mine
I loved Norway so much. I hope to go visit again one day. It’s certainly on my bucket list and it may be at the top!
I found this by chance and it brought me back to the last summer, when I experienced some time in Varanger and I absolutely loved this area. I have been to southern norway many many times, but now I only can imagine going back there again, and again, and again...
thank you for bringing this beauty to me today when I really needed something calm and wonderful
I feel you! I love Varanger too, there is something very special about it. Thank you so much too for watching and commenting
Hello from North Carolina
Good to see you guys again
Hello! Same
Hey Maria, thank you so much for this beautifull video about the stunning Varangerhalvøya! It’s my favorit holidays destination and I visited it several times allready, in spring and autumn and just cannot get enough of it. You absolutely caught the right sense of the region which I call the “Arctic Rivièra”…
Btw:did you know that architect Peter Zumthor also created a masterpiece in the mountains near Sauda, its in favor of the old zinc mine Allmannajuvet, a must see…!
Thank you for sharing, greetings from the Netherlands👋
So glad you liked it. Especially since you have been there many times :-). I can understand why you go back there!
Oh I did not know that was the same architect, wow. I have heard of the buildings in Sauda and really want to see them.
Greetings from Norway :-)
as a resident in Berlevåg its really cool to see a random video on youtube get recommended to me about where i live :D Glad you enjoyed your stay, if you ever come back up here i recommend checking out a place called store molvik!
Beautiful video.
