Stellplatz bei der Wassermühle

After a stress-free journey we reached our first stop in Sittensen. We got one of the 6 free parking spaces at the watermill. Very nice little town with half-timbered houses and green spaces. Ice cream parlor nearby with delicious ice cream. Later we had a kebab. Very warm, but still beautiful day. Good start to the tour.

Fyrkatvej

Parking at the Viking Museum Fyrkatvej directly at the former castle. You drive past the replica Viking village and get to the castle. The friendly lady at the till allowed us the standing time. We paid admission and visited the former Viking castle and the graves. In the evening we walked between two lakes to the Viking village and were able to visit it well, although it was already closed. Gorgeous area. In the evening we drank a glass of wine with a lady from Braunschweig. Later came 5 more mobile homes. At night we could use the toilet. Great.

Songnabben Camping

After the nice stop in Hobro we left at 9am. We arrived at the Hirtshals ferry on time. The check-in went without any problems. We stood third in front of the ship. During the quiet three-hour journey, we enjoyed the great Color Line buffet. After arriving in Kristiansand, we quickly got on the highway towards Oslo. Busy traffic in Oslo. Therefore, we wanted to leave the city behind and, contrary to our previous plan, drove to the Songnabben campsite. There we were lucky at the barrier because a young lady just drove up and checked in. We had a quiet night by the beautiful lake.

Engerdal

After the refreshing shower we left the campsite at around 10 a.m. and headed towards Kongsvinger. We drove on the 205 and 202 through the forest and lake area of Finnskogen. Quite lonely roads led us via Filsa and Elverum to Engerdal. There we stopped at the Rasteplaats Isterfossen. After great weather during the day it turned to rain. We treated 3 young NL canoeists to a hot coffee. They slept under a tarpaulin. They spend a week canoeing on Isterfossen. The place is on the street, but it was quiet at night. A second camper was parked next to us.

Strindmo Gård Camping

First we drove past the 28 at the Fermundensee. We touched the Fermundsmarka National Park with many beautiful lakes and rich in forest. We stopped in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Røros. An interesting place with its wooden houses blackened by copper quarrying. The place looks rustic but well-kept. And environmentally conscious with the grass-covered roofs. We enjoyed delicious cocoa and, for the first time, the cinnamon rolls known for Norway in a quaint little café. We paid parking fees, but unfortunately found out later that you could have parked for free at the museum of the old copper factory. From Røros we drove over the 30 along the river Gaula. We touched the foothills of the Forollhogna National Park with its mountain birch slopes. The vegetation there is covered with lichens. Everything shimmered bright green. On the way we were greeted by 4 reindeer and 1 moose. He came towards us on the road and then crossed. A snapshot succeeded. There are various farms and huts in the Gaudalental. Sheep often graze right next to the road. At Støren we drove onto the E6 and passed Trondheim and then the fjord of the same name. We stayed at Strindmoen campsite by Snåsvatnet. The campsite is simple but clean. An underpass leads to the lake, where we photographed a beautiful sunset. At the back of the site, a small waterfall rushes towards the lake. Despite the train and road, we slept well. The morning shower was okay too.

Offersøy

We took the Bognes - Lodingen ferry and then made a detour to the Offersøy holiday center on the island of Hinnøya off the Lofoten. We looked for a parking space and registered. The grass field was heavily sodden and provided with an electricity connection. If we had done without electricity, a great pitch a little further down by the sea would have been a better choice. The view from there is just beautiful. The red fisherman's huts belonging to the complex also blend wonderfully into the landscape. We stayed here for one night and enjoyed the sunset.

Stø Camping

In the morning fog lay over the Rorbuern. Always nice views along the way. Via the island of Hinnøya we went to the Sortlandsbrua bridge in the direction of Vesterålen. This bridge connects Hinnøya with Langøya in Vesterålen. The bridge at Sortland is impressive and offers a view of Sortland Sound. We drove past the Lifjorden to Stø. Destination whale watching. We first visited the Artic Whale Tours office but could not find anyone there until the evening. So we drove a little further to the parking lot. We had chosen a pitch right on the water. The place and the sanitary facilities are otherwise rather rustic and probably benefit from the proximity to the whale tours. In the evening we learned that a announced storm would not allow us to leave for the next two days. We decided to stay.

Stø Camping, Fiskeværsveien, Stø, Norwegen

It was very windy during the day. So we parked the mobile home near the reception. Despite the wind and light rain, we hiked from the Sto pitch in the direction of Nyksund to the sandy beach of Skipssand. The Dronningruta hike is slightly difficult and not easy because of the damp paths, but it was fun. In the evening the storm increased. It got so violent that we drove off the site and parked the camper on the unpaved parking lot in front of it. There it was somewhat more protected by rocks in front of it. A little later other campers followed our example. Nevertheless, the storm tugged at our nerves all night. But everything went well.

Oppmyre Camping und Wal-Safari

Two nights were enough for us at the square in Stø. Therefore, we accepted a somewhat longer journey and stayed for one night at the well-kept and idyllic Oppmyre Camping site near Myre with its exemplary equipped and clean sanitary facilities. Each camper pitch with a view of the fjord is assigned a wooden platform as a terrace. On Wednesday the sun was shining and we were finally able to take part in the whale safari. The sea was still rough. The pills offered by the organizer helped us. The team tried very hard and so we were able to experience Finn whales, sperm whales and killer whales in the wild. We saw several groups of orcas. The tour was rounded off with a sighting of some white-tailed eagles. Overall an impressive experience. Unfortunately, everyone wanted to take the best photo and make the most beautiful film, just like us, of course. That's why there was always a big crowd at the railing.

Nusfjord/ Reine / Å

Actually, we had planned the hike to Kvalvika Beach. We had already passed the two bridges at Fredvang when it was so overcast that only continuous rain was to be expected. We then decided to drive to Nusfjord and then to Reine and Å. The drive to Nusfjord is spectacular in itself, as the route leads along a steep wall. Several small waterfalls trickle down steeply. In between the fjord. Because of the rain, we only took Nusfjord with us in passing. Then we drove via Reine to the village of Å. There we tried the famous cinnamon rolls and met a couple from Straelen, a neighboring town of our home town, at the parking lot. We were greeted nicely. Å is nice to look at. On the way back we found a nice parking spot on the main road overlooking the water.

Sandnessjøen Camping AS, Søvikveien, Sandnessjøen, Norwegen

Røssvoll Camping is a nice site with good sanitary facilities. We were able to observe several cranes on a meadow across a small lake. On 08/31 we drove first to Mo i Rana, where we filled up gas. We wanted to avoid Trondheim with some construction sites and turned to the coast. The weather should get better there. From Nesna we took the ferry to Levang. From there it went on over the Helgelandsbrua. It leads across the Leirfjord and onto the island of Alsta. This island is dominated by the 1000m high mountains called the Seven Sisters. We chose a pitch directly opposite the mountains, Camping Sandnessjøen. In the evening the mountains were still clouded. However, the pitch right by the sea still allowed wonderful views.

The next day, the 7 sisters showed their sunny side. After purchasing two Norwegian sweaters from the campsite operator, we use 3 ferry connections: Tjøtta - Forvik / Andalsvåg - Horn / Vennesund - Holm. Our goal: The famous rock hole Torghatten. We drove over the bridge at Brønnøysund. From this there was a wonderful view of the green shimmering water and the harbor. In the distance we could already see the mountain. We parked below and hiked up to the huge rock hole. The climb is doable, but caution is advised on the last few meters. Then the great view through the giant gate. I climbed through the hole to the other side. Then it went back again. After various photos, we drove to the port, where we took a look at the Hurtigruten ship. Then we drove a while to the hiker's parking lot in front of Heilhornet, near Hjelmstigvatnet. We spent the night there.

At Valsøyfjorden we parked overnight at a rest area. In the evening, a neighbor knocked and announced that there had been a landslide 10 km away. The rest of the road is closed. Helicopters overhead and rescue vehicles showed that there had been an accident. Later we heard that people had to be rescued. Fortunately, 6 people could be rescued alive from a house, as we found out the next day. For us the plan changed because we couldn't take the ferry Hennset - Arasvika as planned.

Sandvigå Bobilparkering, Stavanger, Norwegen

Contrary to our plan to hike the small troll tongue Himåkanå at Hindaråvåg, we decided to visit Starvanger. The reason was that not so good weather had been announced and we also wanted to turn to the Preikestolen as soon as possible. We actually wanted to leave Stavanger out, but that would have been a mistake afterwards. Because we really liked the city. We found the Gamle - old town quarter with the gray colored and flower-decorated small wooden houses particularly beautiful. The alley Øvre Holmegate with its colorful houses is also very inviting. Except for a small shower we were lucky and enjoyed the beautiful day. The Disney Magic in the harbor is also impressive with its water slides, which can be seen from the outside. The parking space at the port can be specified as an ideal starting point for a city tour. On the way to Preikestolen Camping we drove through the 14 km long Ryfylke - underwater tunnel for the first time. The evening at Camping Preikestolen, a huge area with everything you need, had a great sunset ready for us. There is a small path up a hill near and opposite the reception. Recommended for photographing a sunset.

Preikestolen - Upper parking, Jørpeland, Norwegen

After checking out of the campsite, we drove to the upper hiker's car park at Preikestolen. We paid the 250 NOK for the standing time and started hiking. Right at the beginning it went steeply uphill on an asphalt path. Not easy for my wife. Then continue over roots and stones to a first small stopover on a plateau with a viewpoint. It was almost like a mass migration, because many like us wanted to climb this highlight. And so it went for us, too, over footbridges that led over high moors to steeper climbs that ended on a rocky plateau. Small lakes could be admired almost at the top. Then the last climb past steep edges and you were there, at the place of longing Preikestolen. The daring had placed themselves directly on the cliff edge. We also quickly took a few "impressive" shots ourselves, in order to then have a little snack and drink break on one of the safe rocks nearby. The "pulpit" really offered a fantastic view of the Lysefjord lying deep in blue. And it was hard to resist the magic of that sheer chasm. Experienced hikers were drawn to the less frequented summit, which certainly offered other great views. But it was enough for us and we hiked back the same route. On the way we kept coming into contact with a very nice older couple from Switzerland. Simply likeable this couple and for us a nice incident on the edge. Pretty exhausted we arrived at the bottom and licked another ice cream from the kiosk. Then the journey went back through the more than 14 km long Ryfylk tunnel. The drive into the evening took us towards the lighthouse Lindesnes Fyr.

Lindesnes fyr, Lindesnesveien, Lindesnes, Norwegen

From Stavanger we wanted to slowly orientate ourselves in the direction of the Kristiansand ferry port, whereby the parking space at the lighthouse near Lindesnes should definitely be approached. We chose the route along the 44 and were able to experience a completely different landscape near Egersund due to the Magma Geopark there. The volcanic rock has created a huge landscape, characterized by massive rock formations. Towards evening we chose the beautiful parking lot at the Amphidromic Point Restplace with a clean toilet. There were 3 other mobile homes with us at the rest area. The view of the sea spoiled us again. An artist has positioned a stone statue on a rock. (Rock body sculpture) As in our case, the figure's gaze is directed towards the open sea. The lookout car park provides information on a board about the creation of the Geopark. Luckily, after an overnight stay, we decided to take the 44 back a bit to Egersund. Our destination, the wonderful Skadbergsanden beach, which seemed almost Caribbean to us. We walked along the well-tended beach for a while. In the summer it should be busy here, but now it was almost deserted. Even though time was running out, we still drove to the idyllic village of Sokndalstranden and visited this nice little place, which seemed a bit sleepy to us at the time. But then we went to the lighthouse Lindesnes Fyr. Luckily we were still able to admire the tower during the setting sun. There was something very romantic about the evening atmosphere. An AIDA ship passed in the distance. We had nice photos with us when it rained heavily after dark. It didn't bother us anymore. We had paid for the parking space at the machine on site and were able to use the toilet at the tourist point to the Lindesnes Fyr lighthouse. Disposal is possible free of charge on the return journey at the Servicepoint Spangereid in 2630 Spangereidveien.

Kristiansand ferjeterminal, Vesterveien, Kristiansand, Norwegen

On the way to Kristiansand we were able to admire again the earth movements that Norway is doing to make the traffic on the E39 smoother. We reached the ferry port early via detours. Once again we enjoyed the service and food from Color Line and arrived back in Denmark (Hirtshals) on time. For the night we had chosen the Brønderslev car park, 2 Stenberggade, which also offers free chemical disposal. Very suitable for an overnight stay. Several mobile homes stayed here overnight.
