Medieval Stave Churches in Norway
After all the hiking I did in Norway a couple of months ago, exploring the stave churches in Norway was the second highlight of the trip. I had never seen this type of churches (stavkyrkje) before and found them to be a neat ‘discovery’ for me out of this two-week trip. Why “stave”? Stave churches […]
Geiranger: Great Views and Waterfall
After a phenomenal and scenic ferry ride along the Geirangerfjord, I arrived in Geiranger. Our hotel was perched high up looking down to the town and the fjord – a perfect setting. The visitor center for the waterfall trail (UNESCO World Heritage Site) is right across the street. One can do an easy walk along […]

Day 5 in the Jotunheimen NP Circuit
Second to last day of our circuit hike in Jotunheimen National Park saw us head from Gjendebu to Memurubu along Lake Gjende and spectacular views.

Continuing the circuit hike in Jotunheimen National Park, our fourth hike took us from Leirvassbu to Gjendebu, on the shores of Lake Gjende. Norway rocks!
Day 3 on the Jotunheimen NP Circuit Hike
After enjoying a day off and the scenery around Spiterstulen, the time came to leave this great setting to push forward on the circuit. Next stop: Leirvassbu. I had not really envisioned what this trail would entail but, spoiler alert, after completing the Norway trip, this trail ranked #1 in my list. Varied landscape and […]
Day 2 on the Jotunheimen NP Circuit Hike
Having survived the first day of a 6-hike circuit – and the longest hike of the 6 -, it was time to get going on Day 2 for the next challenge: getting to Spiterstulen by climbing Glittertind mountain (vs. skirting it and going around it). Tallest mountains in Norway and northern Europe Glittertind is not […]
