Unterwegs in Norwegen - Teil 6 - Geiranger - Trollstigen - Atlantikstraße 

Oh zo mooi! Ik ga je volgen en heb me geabonneerd. Zelf ben ik in Finland en ik vlog ook over mijn reizen.

Wieder ein wunderschönes Video von euch! Vielen lieben Dank, da kommen wieder schöne Erinnerungen hoch ♥️♥️♥️

Die Straße zum Trollstigen ist schon atemberaubend schön . Wir waren auch dort u erst am Abend gegen 20 Uhr da war nicht mehr viel los u keine Busse 🙏🏻 Vielen Dank das wir es durch euch nochmal so erleben durften . Bei uns war strahlend blauer Himmel aber die Wolken haben was mystisches . Die langen hellen Tage haben schon den Vorteil viel von dem Tag raus holen zu können. Fähre fahren hatte sowas entschleunigendes. Und mein persönliches Highlight die Atlantik straße zu fahren 🤩🤩🤩 Schade das wir schon alle 6 teile gesehen haben. Es war suuuuper tolle Leistung viel arbeiten 👌Hoffe es geht weiter… wir bleiben dran Lg Birgit u Ralf

So viele tolle Spots 👌 waren gerade selber da aber fahren gerne hier eine Runde mit Gruß Mel und Heiko 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Wunderschön alles!Grandiöse Natur, ich habe das Gefühl, als ob ich mitfahre! Danke für die tolle Bilder, Videos!❤ Du könntest für die National Geographic Beiträge machen!❤😊

I am happy you seem to enjoy our country so much :-) As a Norwegian who travels a lot in Norway, I also used to enjoy watching videos like this as I cannot really get enough of the magnificent landscape, but in recent years this has unfortunately changed. Although I am sure that the majority of camper van tourists in Norway act with respect when they travel around the country, I have (along with a ever increasing number of fellow Norwegians) in recent years seen way too many examples of the opposite which is not surprising as the number of camper vans in Norway during the summer months have increased enormously to a point when the number in itself has become a problem for the local communities around the country. In particular, so many camper van tourists abuse the freedom to roam and appear to think that they can do whatever they want, where ever they want. I understand that the concept may be difficult to understand when coming from a country without such freedom and without a lot of natural space, but the freedom to roam comes with many do`s and don`t s. And in particular things to you should not do even if you strictly can as is not considered proper behaviour. I recently saw a man trying to stop a German camper van from setting up camp in his drive way! Only a few days ago in Lom, about 10 camper vans had occupied a public parking spot with marked parking spaces for cars. Several of the camper vans used three parking spots to set up camp. They parked their van over two spots, and set up their tables and chairs on the third. These 10 camper vans used the whole parking lot making it impossible for locals or others with cars to use the parking lot. And they did not move. This was also the case in Oslo this summer as a host of camper vans decided to spend their holiday at Sognsvann and taking up parking area for as much as a week before moving even if the sign clearly said maximum 48 hours and thus making it impossible for local residents to park. There was a debate in the newspapers on what to do and restrictions on camper vans was discussed and will likely come if this continues. The camper vans tourists do not respect local restrictions and do not respect the locals. The parking area is not intended for such use but for locals. Just because it is physically possible does not mean you should! And when driving over the mountains; just because you can drive off road on to the tundra does not mean you should! Due to hard weather the vegetation is very fragile. Also, despite signs almost all over the country telling tourists NOT to make stone cairns as the mountains contain a large number of ancient and original stone cairns, camper van tourist driving over the mountains obviously do not respect this and for some reason think it is ok for THEM to make their own stone cairns. In addition, they are ugly, pointless and we have to look at them when you are gone. The problem with this has also been debated in national Norwegian newspapers the last few years as it has become a real problem. Also, many camper van tourists dump their waste (both garbage and human waste) when its not convenient to drive to a waste station. It was in a national Norwegian newspaper earlier this year about a farmer who had enough and was now closing off all his property for camper vans because of this. In what universe is such behaviour acceptable?? And is not just single incidents, but sadly to say it appears to occur on a regular basis all over the country. As I said, most camper van tourist are not doing this, but the fact is that many actually do, and restrictions on camper vans has already been discussed and unless there is a change such restriction will surely come sooner than later as an increasing number of Norwegians are increasingly frustrated with the camper van tourists. Yes, I know that many Norwegians act like drunken idiots on vacation in other countries, but that is not relevant here. Please take this in the way it is intended, which is to say that please respect the local communities, not to abuse the freedom to roam and respect signs etc on how to behave in the mountains etc. This was just a few examples from the top of my head, but you get the picture. For people living in the cities this is not a big problem, but for people in the rural areas it is (unless you run a camping site, but then again, the camper vans park wherever they want....)

Norway is like a better version of Switzerland - mountains and alps but with water (both fresh and sea), and nice and clean people!
