Im so happy you guys have FINALLY started your RU-vid journey. You guys are so awesome and Im so excited to continue to follow your adventures! Ps. Please give us more cinnamon roll reviews
What a beautiful place to grow up. How has the area changed since the 70s and 80s? We absolutely fell in love with this route, and are planning (hopefully) to do another DNT route this year. Do you have recommendations on a route that is as beautiful as this one?
Mad to not know this, Collin is. Before we travel, look up Star Wars facts we will. 🤓 Thanks for sharing, that's a great fun fact!! 😊 So glad you liked the video!
The norwegian "Allemannsrett" you are talking about...the right to "freely roam the land" , has a few limitations. You are not allowed to, withour permission, enter someones garden, land that is farmed for crops (pastures are OK, as long as there are no animals there) or any military, government or business areas clearly marked "no entry". When camping on someones land you are expected to stay out of sight, and not be heard. Other that that, you can go anywhereyou want to.
Thanks for the extra clarifying! Its so crazy to us as Americans that you have the right to "freely roam the land" - and the limitations you have make so much sense. I wish we did the same.
Wearing shoes like that are not only very dumb, its insanely dumb😂many paths in the mountains in norway are dangerous, one slip and you can die. wearing proper shoes is not only a must because you need the layer between your feet and mud/stones, but also because you dont want to be that American that fell to their death because of flipflops😂 you would be remembered tho, thats forsure. awesome video apart from that, love your adventures in our country.
Thanks for watching our video!! We absolutely love your country and can't get enough of it! The shoes we're wearing are called bedrocks and are designed in Montana by a geologist for mountain running and hiking. We've been hiking around the world in them for years and love them. There were certainly sections of heavy mud/cold on this trail that wasn't great for them (hence me mere wearing boots lol) but Collin wore them the whole time. I know they look like flip flops but I promise they hold up so well and I feel way more secure in them than boots 😂 but they definitely turn some heads haha.
Thank you! The cabins were $30 a night per person and the train ticket was $100 per person...we packed all our meals and ate out once (which we'd recommend doing) and I think that was about $30 and totally worth it!
@@collinandmeredith Awesome! 🥰 I forgot to mention...... when hiking, Norwegians always say hi or talk to hikers they meet 😊 That's why people were talking to you in Norwegian 🥰 I'm looking forward to watching more "travelling videos" with you guys ❤ And yeah..... we bring chocolate on our hikes 😂😂 Kvikk Lunsj is the most popular chocolate 🍫 to bring on hikes..... 😍🥰
So you're going to Switzerland to run "to the top of the tallest mountain in Europe". Wow....that will for sure be some record breaking marathon.... That because the tallest mountain in Europe is named Elbrus ( 5642 meter ) ....and is located in the HIgh Caucasus mountains in Russia....some 3600 km away from Switzerland. It is good with ambitions to run so far....but that story of yours ...well....I think is a bit over the top ambitious.... I do know about a marathon in Switzerland which is about to run up the mountain of Jungfraujoch ....which is 3463 meter. It is not even close to be the tallest mountain in Switzerland......which is Monte Rose of 4642 meters. Shall we say that you're a bit lost in the geography....
Hi Dan! Thank you so much for watching our video. We hope you enjoyed it! It seems you’re very familiar with mountain running and geography! We wrongly assumed Jungfrau’s marketing “The top of Europe” (which is on the website, t-shirts, advertising, etc) meant that it was the tallest. As we came to find out, it has this title because of the railway, making it the highest accessible point in Europe . Have you been on this railway before? It’s quite stunning! We sure are lost in our geography, but we sure can say it was a challenging marathon, a beautiful mountain, and a great story. 😁
Very few Norwegians drinks Voss water. Overpriced tap water sold as holy drink from a glacier🤣🤣🤣 Nah I’m good. Grew up and live in Norway and never tasted it. And only seen it once in high school, and the one girl who drank it was shamed so bad. It was just “status” to have the bottle I guess. This was like 2007/2008. The joke is that water here is so clean anyway. Everyone drinks tap water. And I grew up hiking and we drank straight from the stream up in the mountains/tundra. Not to say we don’t buy bottled water if thirsty if out and about, but it’s not because our tap water isn’t drinkable because it is😝 I’ve traveled both in Europe and Asia, and bottled water elsewhere tastes really bad.
I love that you grew up drinking it straight from the stream! We talked a lot during the hike about how we wish we could have done that growing up...Norway has incredible water! Thanks for the insights!! ❤️
@@collinandmeredith We, the people from Voss, do however claim we've the best supply of tap water in the country so that's something we like to point out. But since you've been traumatized by our gas station toilet doors, I can understand you might not want to test the validity of that claim.
