Mind-blowing Norway Road Trip Summer Adventure!!

The West Norweigan Fjord region is one of the best places for a summer road trip you will find anywhere in the world. The landscapes are incredible, the fjords beautiful, and there are so many amazing hikes and activities both on land, ice, and the water that make it an action-packed adventure and a wonderful place to explore.
Some of the best Norway road trip highlights can be found on the side of the road and away from the main tourist spots, and you could turn down almost any road and find a unique place. This is why we recommend renting a car and exploring rather than being on a bus tour.
Is Norway the most beautiful country in the world? We will show some of the best places to visit in this Norway travel guide.

    @@BengtIvarOlsen Definately, although the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) are visible from anywhere in Norway, but especially in Nordland, Troms and Finnmark counties. The 3 counties that makes ''Northern Norway'' are so under-represented in comparrison to especially the west/east of Norway in videos here on KZread. I think many tourists are scared it will be cold, but it really isn't as cold as one would think, due to the golf stream the entire northern coast of Norway is pretty mild comparred to other places on the planet of the same ''northern distance''. The North of Norway is such a gem that you can't get ANYTHING like it elsewhere, and you have to see to believe the places of Nordland, Troms and Finnmark county. Experience Norway at some of it's most amazing and breath taking views and scenery. Yes, the fjords along the western coast are beautiful and magnificent, but Norway has so much more to offer than the standard ''most known'' seens, hikes and viewes. I can really recommend taking a drive through the entire north of Norway, from Bodø to Lofoten, from Lofoten to Tromsø, and into Finnmark. I could really recommend doing such a trip around June, July, August. That's the best months, and northern Norway is AMAZING around that time, it can get up to 25-30 degrees, so don't expect to bring any warm clothes or winter jackets those months.

    If you decide to come back again and you arrive at Oslo Gardermoen Airport. There you have Gardermoen aircraft museum, an ancient forrest not far away from the airport. There's also a Viking grave mound not very far from the airport. There are several hotels arround here. Stop here for a night or 2, f.Example at the city of Jessheim. That's the closest city to the airport, about 8-10 minutes from the airport by car. Gardermoen. The area where Oslo airport is built, is almost 5000 years old. Gardermoen and the surrounding area was a busy viking trading place, back in the those days. So the area around the airport and Jessheim, is filled with history and small gems and places to visit. I live 10 min. away from the airport. I grew up here an I still find places I didn't know about, so highly recommended. Great video. So many memories came back when I saw Geiranger and such.

    Thanks for watching, glad you liked the video :-) All the driving took place over 9 days plus another two in Oslo before we hit the road. If you have the then two full weeks would allow you to spend a few extra days at your favourite spots.... Trip was in July and we were very lucky with the weather with some cracking days despite poor forecasts.

    We booked through Hertz and got a free upgrade which made a huge difference to the quality of our time in the car. The only must haves is to make sure you get unlimited KMs in your rental agreement, and that any surcharges for tolls are minimal. It can also help to use an aggregator to try and find the cheapest prices but you may be limited by their participating rental providers. I'll add a link to one of these in the description.

    Obviously, when you live at a fjord fisheries will take place but these towns weren't and aren't fishing villiages, they were often farmsteads or communication "hubs" - it was musch, much easier to travel by boat than over land. Odda owns its modern existance on the production of Calcium carbide )and derivatives) based on local hydroelectric power. That whale sausage you mentioned was in all probability made from Minke whale, not an Orca. The Minke is not an endarngered species; the 2022 quota was 917 out of a poulation in Norwegian water of an estimated 107,000. There are reasons to oppose whaling but the danger of extinction of this species is not valid. Bergen is the wettest city in Europe (average yearly 2250 mm) but is by far not the wettest place in Norway. The wettest weather station is in Takle in tyhe Sogn og Fjordane distric, with an annual average of 2,974 mm.
