In the morning of Sunday, 31st of May we went for a walk by the Nærøyfjord, starting at Nærøyfjorden Camping taking the Rimstigen hike walk by the narrowest fjord.
Later on we reached Flåm for a delicious food at the loacal street market, before visiting the Flåmsbana museum – the Flåm railway being one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world. Afterwards we stopped by Stegastein – a viewpoint overlooking Aurlandsvangen and Nærøyfjord from 650 meters above.
We then drove through the world’s longest car tunnel – 24.5 km long Lærdalstunnelen, passed Lærdal and stopped by another massive waterfall – Hjellefossen by Øvre Årdal.
Later on the same day we took another amazing scenic way – Tindevegen, 32 km long mountain road between Årdal and Turtagrø. With its highest point at 1321 meters, this road crosses Jotunheimen National Park and is open only from May till October. Of course there was a lot of snow.
As a spot we chose wisely the Turtagrø parking, which we shared only with 1 more camper.
On Monday, 1st of June, we made a first stop at the place called Bøverdalen, where we watched some sportsmen having cross-country skiing training.
Then, later on we also checked Wilhelm Rasmussen statue (pillar) with the first King of Norway on its top.
As we were so close, we took a paid road – Visdalsvegen, which follows the Visa river and leads to the Spiterstulen Turisthytte 1111 m above sea. This is actually a base camp, the closest accommodation, from which you can take a hike to the highest peak of Norway, Galdhøpiggen 2469 m above sea. We cooked a lovely lunch and enjoyed the majestic surrounding atmosphere.
Then we continued to the popular small town called Lom. Visited its bakery and the stave church.
And we hit the road again, driving some fantastic scenic parts, like frozen Djupvatnet lake. Taking another absolutely amazing scenic road, road number 63 we passed by Geiranger Skywalk and headed straight down to Geiranger town.
After a short walk it was time to search for the overnight spot. But here around Geiranger we first realized, that the area is quite busy.
At the end, before flying out the drone late (around 11pm) from Ørnesvingen viewpoint we decided to park on that old road, parallel to the Oppskredtunnelen, even under the falling down rocks. I slept well 😊
