We discover Norway

In Norway, you have to pay tolls for using the roads and many ferries.

The best way to register your vehicle is via ePass https://account.epass24.com/en/vehicleregistration/step1

and subsequently creates an ePass24 account with the same license plate number and data.

Another tip for all Bullis with limited space: leave your drinks (returnable bottles or deposit cans) in Germany. On the ferry you can buy cans of beer, cola, fanta, sprite and other great drinks at a reasonable price in the TaxFreeShop. Inexpensive means really cheap! We paid the equivalent of €0.42 for a can of Coca-Cola. You can't even get it cheaper on Amazon. You don't have to keep the cans, you can dispose of them in the garbage. On the way back we'll stock up for the next tours 🤭

Place to sleep at the Kristiansand bunker.

breakfast

A breathtaking waterfall. Short way.

A great place, the hammock has also found its place here ☺️

Nice place on a road with little traffic (not a single car at night) with garbage can and bench with table ⛰ before that you drive through Sirdal (Tonstad).

From Sirdal we continued to Kjerag. The Kjerag or Kiragg is a rocky plateau in the Norwegian municipality of Sandnes (Fylke Rogaland) on the Lysefjord.

Lysebotn is a town at the end of the Lysefjord in Sandnes Municipality in the Norwegian province of Rogaland. The place consists mainly of a power station, a ferry terminal and some tourist facilities - nothing else! Getting further is only possible via the ferry or you drive back the mountain pass.

You can also camp here. We prefer a secluded place with a fireplace 🔥

You can take the ferry from Lysebotn to the other tip of the fjord and get lots of great impressions of nature.

We take the ferry to Forsand.

Arrived in Forsand, relaxation is the order of the day. There is also a gas station, a toilet and a COOP.

A great place to just hang out a bit.

We stay on road 13 towards Røldal and cross the fjord by ferry.

In the harbor there is an Xextra (hardware store) and toilets. The hardware store even has suitable gas cartridges.

There is a short rest here to use the toilets in the harbor kiosk.

We spend the night directly under the waterfall. If you think it's raining here, you're wrong - the spray comes from the waterfall 😅

With toilet and small souvenir shop. Don't be alarmed: the parking situation on site is hell 😅

For the hike to the Trolltunga, the troll's tongue, (at least 20 km and 10 hours) you have to start early! Although our plan does not include a hike there, we also want to start the hike to the Buarbreen glacier as early as possible and have therefore looked for a parking space in the immediate vicinity.

The parking lot costs €18.50 per day. In the back part you can stand super with the camper. From here we start our hike (5 hours) to the glacier.

Our place for the night is above the tree line in the middle of solitude. Here there are only sheep, clear, ice-cold lakes and Statkraft hydroelectric power stations. For the night, however, a parking heater is required. At the end of July we only had three degrees Celsius here at night.

On our way to Bergen we pass the fjord by ferry. At the harbor there is a Spar and a toilet.

Costs 100 NOK.

The market is a great place to eat a deer burger. This also costs "only" 120 NOK.

After a long search we finally found a nice pitch in the Osterfjorden region. Not so easy when most places are blocked with barriers or can only be reached by 4x4. Now we spend the night in a forest workplace with enough kindling for a fire 🔥.

We leave the E39 to drive through the mountains along the cliffs to Ortnevik. From here we take the ferry to Nordeide.

We stand backwards, because the ferry has to be driven on with the stern first.

Since only six cars fit on the ferry and you can't book them in advance, you have to be there early to be at the front of Line 1 😅 we spend the waiting time by the water and enjoying the sun ☀️

Finally a ferry that keeps what it promises. At full speed we go over the Sognefjord⛴

The ferry cannot be booked in advance and must be paid directly on deck. For 2 adults + Bulli = NOK 129.00. Really worth it!

A Norwegian gets the last seat on the ferry. Everyone else has to wait. For us it goes further ☺️

Balestrand is a beautiful place with chic villas. There is also the possibility to dispose of waste water and fill up with fresh water - and it's even free of charge!

We're driving back onto Route 13, which we've followed before. Along the steep coast, between the mountains, we choose a pitch with a great view of the fjord and the countryside.

Even if the place is right on the street, it doesn't bother you much, because the street has very little traffic.

We continue to follow the 613 (13). Beautiful road with many hairpin bends

Meanwhile we follow the E5. There is beautiful nature with impressive glaciers. There is a glacier museum on the route.

In Sogndal we continue on Route 55.

We spend the night at the rest area on the little-used 604. Directly on the other side, the river tears down into the valley.

So the first thing to do is bathe at the wonderful bathing area.

Although this is a registered animal, we are delighted to see a reindeer in the wild.

After the day was very rainy and we decided to sit in the van more and enjoy the scenery while driving, we have now found a great pitch for the night.

Unfortunately we have to go back to Germany today. So we quickly rebooked the ferry and adjusted the route.

Normally we should continue on the 51 and then onto the 40 to Larvik.

Now we drove on the Autobahn.

We'll just buy a little something.

We have arrived at the destination of our journey through Norway 👍 with the SuperSpeed 2 we go from Larvik 🇳🇴 back to Hirtshals 🇩🇰
