The thing about Norway is that it's so gorgeous it's hard to pick a favorite. This is amazing.

Do you know what this observation point is called?

Norwegians, what do you call those small ponds situated on mountains? (The one in the foreground here)

I would call it “vatn” or “vann” (the joys of two written languages), which literally translates to “water”. Usually they don’t have names, but if they are close to a hiking route they are normally referred to by the name of the mountain top + “vatnet”. Sometimes they are close to a mountain cabin and the area will have a name, usually a family name from “old times”, and the water will be referred to by the same name as the area.

I hope it make sense. I wanted to use lots of Norwegian words that I can’t translate on the fly.

Yeah that does, thanks. I was just curious as the north of the UK uses the word 'Tarn' (sometimes with a name beforehand) for them and I would have assumed it was related to a Norse word.

I'm just happy to see something other than the regular handful of postcard angles. Seeing the 12th nearly identical image of the same location is just annoying.this is a breath of fresh air

I am by no means an expert, but the area around Lysefjorden offers many opportunities for great hikes. Preikestolen, Kjerag, Sollifjellet to name just a few. Hardangervidda is really beautiful as well, you can walk up to Glaciers and lots of interesting places. My next trip will be to Jotunheimen, I can’t wait to experience the area. In general, Norway is wild and many hikes are quite demanding, and the weather in the mountains can change quickly, so be prepared and bring appropriate clothing (definitely bring raingear).

Yes! An amazing experience, very crowded though during mid of July and August. But if you keep going a little bit higher, it is calm and the views are just breathtaking!

Thank you for the heads up!

I'll look into your recommendations!

My wife and I are experienced hikers but obviously not there. I'll make sure to make a pack list!

Since I live in this area I recently just took a picture of the line of people all waiting to get that one picture on pulpit rock, find these more fun than just taking a picture of lysefjorden.

Did western Norway in 2019, hiked Preikestolen and Trolltunga (too burned out afterwards to handle Kjeragbolten in such a short timespan) but I can’t recommend them all enough. Actually trained a bit for Trolltunga as it’s an aggressive hike that subjects you to all types of weather (and got to the trailhead SUPER early as it gets quite busy). The Flam railway is quite nice if you want a break from hiking although Flam itself felt a little offputting once we saw all the massive cruise ships. Odda was a fun little base before the Trolltunga hike, definitely gave off the small Norwegian town vibe, and Stavanger felt very progressive with lots of cultural opportunities. Stayed in Forsand as a base for Kjerag & Preikestolen, which was tiny but beautiful. Just a gorgeous country from all we saw, would like to head north to Lofoten next time!

America has so, so many beautiful places to offer, you are lucky to be born there. I had the opportunity to visit a few National Parks in the US, and I‘d love to see more of them!
