Trollfjord | Lofoten
Trollfjord, one of Norway's smallest fjords, is a hidden gem located on the Lofoten Islands. This 2 km long fjord, only 100 m wide at its narrowest point, offers breathtaking scenery and a rich history. Accessible only by boat, we chose Øykongen for the best value trip from Svolvær. The tour, lasting just over three hours, showcases the stunning landscapes of Lofoten and the dramatic history of the Battle of Trollfjord in 1890.
Our journey through Trollfjord included spotting sea eagles and experiencing local wildlife up close. The narrow fjord, often visited by the Hurtigruten, has a history of rivalry and survival, making it a must-see. Don't miss the iconic Fisker Kona statue at Svolvær harbour, a tribute to the fishermen's wives. 🦅🚤🇳🇴

Nice video on Lofoten and what to see. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you. I will make a Lofoten overview film which is scheduled to come next winter.
As far as I know, only one person died near the tongue (was not even on it anymore when she felt down) so far, it is one too many, but you made it sound more dramatic than necessary. Also, the hike is so popular in summer (I did it last week), that doing it alone without a guide was not that bad as you are not quite "alone" anyway.
The goal of the video is that you come prepared and clear of the dangers. When I started planning for that video, the situation was way more chaotic. Only falls which are 100% sure that they are not suicides are mentioned in the media, that way there are so few mentions.
@4:22 I heard 'in case you have a problem with that you should take a train'
There's no such thing as a "Seagull"
Snakker du norsk?
Jeg snakker Norsk, men KI-klon-stemme kan det ikke enda.
KI-Klon-Stemme?Jeg trodde det var din virkelige
@@RandumbHcr2Content Nei da, det er den fra min Offtext-Speaker jeg har lisensert.
How much is the Parking fee?
Can't remember, but it wasn't that high, maybe 100 NOK.
@@XploreNorway Alright, thank you!
Hello, Is the parking area at 1:08 restricted? Because from the google map I can see there were some vehicles parked , thanks~
This is no longer parking place there. Due to the amount of tourist, there no free parking anymore. Park the harbour and pay for it. Otherwise you risk getting a fine. And the municipality of Moskenes is very strapped for cash, and will not hesitate fine any wrongly parked car.
Nice place 👍 Interesting information 😊
Thank you. I didn't know the place until the people promoting Road 17 pointed me there. Too bad I didn't spend enough time there.
Excellent information and video. Thank you!
❤
Ich war schon dreimal dort,jedesmal konnte Ich Pottwale,Pilotwale und einmal sogar Orcas fotografieren.Leider sind die Preise gestiegen(meines Wissens ca. 150Euro pro Person). Trotzdem werde Ich mich in 3 Wochen wieder mit dem Auto von Hamburg aus auf den Weg nach Andenes machen.
Ja, ungefähr 150 € für Erwachse.
Nice video, thank you for sharing 😊
Hey there was a few from Denmark too
Great video even though some fog 👍
Hi, trying to find out if car ferries take pedestrians?
Yes, they do. I think pedestrian ride for free now, but check with the crew.
Thank you, Much appreciated
A nice hike. Nice information on the hike and how to get there. Than you for sharing and have a great weekend 😊
Saying that no one have fallen from Preikestolen is wrong. You should do your research
I was told not to talk about that topic, like all Norwegian medias have to do. Write me an email, or DM on FB/Insta if you want to know more.
Nice hike up to Galløpiggen. Nice information about the hike 👍
My dad’s parents were from Valdres. So, this is one of the top most regions on my Bucket List to visit and get to know, as well as to travel to the Nordkapp.
If you are looking for long lost relatives use the Facebook group "Det skjer i Valdres", and ask there.
Nice information on hiking in the area. Thank you for sharing 😊
Notice how they link the control to climate change. Humans are not casing climate change but they are polluting this world. How is that there is no world government body to combat pollultion?
Would I avoid the crowds if I start the hike about 4 or 5 pm? Going in two weeks in June
If you go on a weekday, except for the last weeks of July, you can go anytime you want. But you can do the evening hike, I mean it's day until 23:00
@@XploreNorway Why not last week, anything special? We are going there the end of July 2024, so we can avoid crowd if we start 3-4 PM?
@@fuhuxia9432 I meant last weeks of July. I think starting around16:00 should be ok.
@@XploreNorway Thanks. Last week of July is when we will be there. Is that week a Norway holiday week, why to avoid it?
4:36 Caught me off guard 🤣
There's one mistake that maybe not very many tourists make, but that could be fatal, and that is underestimating the danger of nature. The natural surroundings in much of Norway are very different from what most tourists are used to. The terrain is steep, there's often no guardrail even on maintained paths, usually no lights, and the weather can and does change very fast. Always pack a rain jacket for your hike,tell someone where you are going, and listen to local advice.
Thanks, that just gave me an idea for a video.
Hi. Which is the most scenic, train, bus, or this ferry? Do you know some budget accommodation in Flåm?
I think the boat, as it is scenic all the way. The train is very scenic between Flåm and Myrdal. The bus is the least. If you are on a budget don't stay in Flåm. From my research every tourist wants to stay there, and thus the prices are accordingly. (I never stayed in Flåm)
@@XploreNorway Thank you very much, agree that Flåm stay would not be reasonable. If one wants to do a budget scenic trip, making most of it in Norway, could it be to do Oslo to Bergen line, stay in Bergen, then Bergen to Flåm and back on the same day in Bergen. Do that Myrdal to Flåm but I guess one has to get to Voss first from Bergen perhaps? Lastly, the Rauma line (Dombås to Åndelssen) but not sure if all of this can be done staying in Bergen only? I searched and Bergen stays are not cheap either but I think comparatively cheaper than Flåm. Any ideas / suggestions welcome. What would be reasonable way to travel from Bergen to Dombås for the Rauma line?
@@user-cd9rd7jb2z Take train to Oslo, then take train to Dombås. (The line just reopened last week). It's 12 h train ride. When are you coming to Norway ? Is it July, that would explain everything. I will take your question in my live stream tomorrow, so I can fib an indepth response, withe maps and so.
@@XploreNorway yes July but unfortunately could not travel. Would have loved too. Anyways for the knowledge, one has to come back from Bergen to Oslo to take the train to Dombås? During these trips Oslo-Bergen, Bergen -Flåm, Rauma line i.e Dombås which place one should stay. Would Bergen be reasonable but for Rauma line?
@@user-cd9rd7jb2z The Rauma line is like 400 km from Bergen, if you want to do that, you will need to stay either in Dombås or Åndalsnes. There is no way you can do it from Bergen. There is new Golden Trin (?) experience for the Raumaline.
Planning too much😊 true.
Quite precise
When was this hike ? May 2024 ??
The video was released in April. It was filmed beginning September 2023. We usually film the things during summer of the year before it is published.
Thanks for the great tips! Especially for the nature sights
Har hvert i hipp hurra🎉
Bro can i contact you by email or whatsapp. I am planning a 8 days trip in Norway in motorhome and i would really love your input on my plan
You can send it for the next Q&A live stream, which will be propably on the 26th May. The email is in the about section.
Thanks for the video. I'll do my 1st trip to Norway next Wednesday. And leave Sunday; After I have reserved & check places to go : Odda, Atlantic Road... I found out the drive durations. So many hours in the car. I hope I can arrive at hotels before it's too late.... Wednesday maybe around 23h :-( I also wanted to go to the North, but another time. I think a minium of 10-14 days is required for a quick overview of Norway. I will also try EV . It will be an advanture
Nice to hear. As hint: When I plan I roadtrip I always try to be at the hotel around 17-18, that way you are not stressed, and in case you there are some issues you can still arrive late. Happened to me last year.
watching from Pakistan.
thank you for posting this! If I hadn't been prepared I would have been terrified. Actually, I'll still be terrified, but not as much as my wife who hates this sort of thing.
Thank you for the feed back. I don't find the road being the problem, but all the people driving there with way too large vehicles than they can handle.
Aloha! Planning to do it mid september. Is it still safe to hike on that month
Hello, it's totally safe to it in september. Unless there is fog or heavy rain, but with these kind of weather you should not do it.
❤😊
Planning for a 9 day trip. Should we ignore Bergen completely?
You want to go to Bergen, then you need to cut something. This trip is just a suggestion. The easiest is to cut Runde, and go straight from bergen to Sogndal. Or cut Ålesund to go from Geiranger to Loen, and continue from there.
교수님이라고 존경받으시는 분이 무섭습니다
We want to going to Oslo from Voss next week with night train. Can We wait on train station till 00:28 . Is There any open coffe oe restaurant till 00:23 in the voss or train sation
Good question. There seems to be a waiting room open until 0:30. As Voss is a small town, you might find a bar to hang out until midnight and then go to the station. www.banenor.no/reise-og-trafikk/stasjoner/-v-/voss/
How does it work when you want to go from let's say Stamsund (Lofoten) to Honningsvåg (Finnmark). I found a ferry route with a dozen of stops. Do I need to change ferry at each stop? Are there "direct" ferries on some long routes like in my example. Thanks for you help :)
This is the Hurtigruten, run by Hurtigruten AS and Havilla Kystrute. You can put your car in Stamsund and get out in Honnigsvåg. There is barely enough traffic for a route which stops everywhere. But it's very expensive.
@@XploreNorway Thank you so much for your reply. I found the Hurtigruten port to port web page and it is indeed ridiculously expensive (about 500 usd per person) + car. I need to find another way. If anyone has some advice, thanks in advance for sharing :)
@@gotatribu I think the cheapest is to drive yourself.
Number 6 No plan at all 🤣
There is only one mistake you can make traveling in Norway and that is being poor or on a budget.
Good list 👍 if able, I'd say not going on a few hikes through nature during your trip is a mistake! (And nice Rago shot!)
Agreed, A similar one was nearly on the list: "Focusing only on the cities"
Muy útil, gracias, Voy a vuestro país en julio con mi familia
Thanks for the great job!
So ein wunderschönes Fleckchen Erde! Wir lieben den jährlichen Urlaub hier und können uns bis heute nicht satt sehen. Selbst beim Wandern - egal bei welchem Wetter - vergeht die Zeit im Flug. Man möchte einfach nichts verpassen. Man entdeckt immer wieder was Neues, aber auch das Bekannte bleibt interessant und schön. Wir werden definitiv so lange wieder hier her reisen, so lange es geht!
I didn’t know I owned a hotel.
It is posibly in September 30 ?
You mean the 30th September. I think so, we were there the 22nd September. Contact Icetroll for that.
Great video - gave me all the information we needed for our trip to Norway (and plenty of ferry rides!) in a few months. Thanks!
Welcome to Norway :)
