Stegastein, the best balcony in Norway

The spectacular Stegastein viewing platform with panoramic view 650 metres above Aurlandsfjord.  This is a bucket-list trip for any visitor to Flåm. The platform, which juts out 30 metres from the mountainside, 650 metres above the fjord, offers an unparalleled...

Oslo during Covid-19 lockdown

We didn't drive our Iveco in Oslo since the city is a no-go zone for a diesel truck. We borrowed our friend's Tasos car and parked it next to the greek embassy, from where we walked for a few hours downtown. On this short video you can see Oslo closed like never...

From -20° C with love

Alta to Tromso, 5 days road

Five days to cover 400 kilometres? An average tourist might have done it in a single day or maximum two, winter time. We could be still driving for five more days. In anyway this is a breathtaking route. The national road E6 twists, climbs, descends and extends next...

When did you enter Norway?

Finally we met fellow overlanders - this was only the third time since we entered Scandinavia two and half months ago. A couple from Germany, friends of our friends with a monstrous 4x4 truck fitted with a 15-litre, 450 hp engine, automatic gearbox and a full-size...
