- We visited Norway to explore parkrunworld and to take advantage of Norway's extra day parkrun - Labour Day. Rather than run two parkruns in Oslo we took the opportunity to see some of Norway's spectacular scenery. We took the 7.5 hour train journey from Oslo to Bergen as it is said to be one of the most scenic train journeys in the world!
The train journey did not disappoint! We particularly enjoyed seeing where the snowy scenes in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back were filmed and the incredible scenery took our breath away. There's not many 7.5 hour train journeys that you can't wait to do again!
Løvstien parkrun, Bergen, is extremely hilly! A double out-and-back with what I think is one of the best parkrun start/finish locations in parkrunworld. The views looking out over Bergen are just spectacular! Run Director Alan made us all feel so very welcome, and we set a new attendance record for the event which was lovely. You could tell that the locals are very proud of their stunning parkrun and really enjoyed having visitors to show it off to which added to the atmosphere.
I can't thank Alan and his team enough for a wonderful morning. We enjoyed visiting Norway so much and without parkrun we might not have had the opportunity to meet these fantastic communities. parkrun really is the best way to travel!
Happy running,
Nicola :)
I love the relationship you have with poppy, it’s adorable. I have 2 similar aged girls and I’m in a similar single parent situation and seeing your videos really gives me reassurance that taking them to park run is the right thing for the 3 of us - poppy is growing up with a true role model x
Two Norwegian Park Runs in a weekend? That's a veritable fjord fiesta Nicola. Great video as always, the footage from the train was incredible
What a lovely video. Thanks for visiting us and for sharing your joy.
The parkrun looked amazing!
What a lovely film - well done Nic. Thanks for sharing and we can continue to live parkrun tourism vicariously....!
That train journey was awesome, both the train itself and the views. It was also noticeable how clean Norway looks. Tusen takk for sharing the video with us :)
Heading to Norway this summer and planning on going to both Tøyen and Løvstien parkruns. Even more excited after watching your videos.
I think this must be the best parkrun for journey view and fun and great presentation from park run legend
wow what a stunning few days! having been there myself I can also imagine that you mustbe quite exhausted from all of the walking running and doing. But what an amazing attitude Poppy has! she is happy with everything and not tiring up. so amazing! you did so many things right. ❤️
Such amazing views from the train journey and the parkrun. Those hills looked like hard work mind. Another very enjoyable parkrun video
Oh my , the landscape made me feel really emotional x
Wonderful video Nicola, it’s been on my bucket list for years to do a Scandinavian winter rail journey for years. One day I will do t. Your rail journey looked absolutely fantastic. And you’re right, no park run is going to top this.
So strange to see myself in this what a great tough parkrun it was
Oh that proper cheered me up! Can we go back?! Loving the train video, I agree, no words!
I loved Bergen when we sailed there across the North Sea from Lowestoft and it was sunny there! The parkrun looks lovely and will have to visit there one day. Thanks for sharing.
Yay what a nice surprise , glad you had fun .I liked the dog running with his emergency stick , very important 🤣🤣, Poppy has taken a stretch , shes gonna be a tall girl i reckon .Have a lovely week , weather is to be nice 😁
Thanks Nicola, we can’t wait now !😳
Blimey you never cease to surprise me with your parkrunning Nicola. You keep 'topping yourself' time and again. 👍 excellent vlog as always.
First one to view this video! Planning to explore the same journey.
Another great video, Nicola, I must go back to Bergen & do Løvstien parkrun. If you want to tie in another parkrun with a breathtaking train journey I would suggest taking the train over the St Gotthard Pass to Milan. The train does loop the loop in at few places. Be careful not to book a train through the recently built St Gotthard Base Tunnel or you won’t see anything as it goes right under the mountains.
