LYNGEN ALPS: Breakdowns & Adventures along Norway's MOST SCENIC mountain range //EPS.10 EXPED. NORTH

- Between two Fjords rises a rough mountain chain in the far north of Norway: the Lyngen Alps. Join our troubled journey to this little mountain paradise - including a broken motorcycle, a swollen foot and a hospital visit.
We left Senja island - but not before enjoying it's beautiful landscape inlands - and started the day off with a Highlight: Having cake for breakfast in the town Finnsnes. Our inital plan was to go to
Tromsø but on the way we decided to skip the city and pick another way: Rout 91 that leads from Fagernes to two ferries that carried us over Ullsfjorden and Lyngenfjord. The scenery of the Lyngen Alps was beautiful - but we had to deal with two other incidents: My foot was terribly swollen from the insects bites and the Ducati if my travel partner started to leak oil.
Watch this episode to find out how we dealt with the motorcycle and why I ended up visiting a hospital.
(Spoiler: the episode has a happy end as we ended up in the absolutly stunning Lyngen Lodge.)
// NEW EPISODE OUT EVERY THURSDAY 19:30 CET
//Join the journey from Switzerland to Nordkapp - to Europes barely inhabited places and it's last big secrets. The wild ride takes my travel partner and me 12.000 kilometres through 6 countries: Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden.
Time of the journey: July 2020 to September 2020

Watching your videos is like breath of fresh air in this difficult world!
Thank you so much! Since I am in lockdown too at the moment cutting them is like escaping for me too...
Just when I thought it couldn't get more beautiful, there is more!!!!!! Breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing. And yes, I am still binge watching your videos. That is all I think I about and as soon as I open my eyes in the morning. Thank you so much for sharing. I worked with some Germans from Meppen and they all were so very nice and funny. I bought 5 books and one computer program to try to learn German, but my accent and tongue wouldn't cooperate with the language. LOL! Thank goodness I was able to learn the German phrase for poisonous snake. We have a lot of Sidewinders and Rattlesnakes in our area and I wanted them to be aware of where they hide during the day and what they look and sound like. I was teaching them what to look for and one of the Germans that spoke and understood English very well would translate to German, so they all learned.
I'll never forget a few of them came to my apartment to check out the computer program I bought to learn German. I would speak the German words and phrases into the microphone and it would tell me if I was pronouncing them correctly or not. They laughed when it said I pronounced the words correctly and told me it was wrong. So one of them spoke German into the microphone and it said it was incorrect. We all had a good laugh that it was such a bad program that it would tell a German he was not speaking German correctly. So I learned to never trust all computer programs. LOL!!! Safe travels and God Bless and protect you.
Beautiful footage!
Thanks so much for your wonderful gifts of landscape.
Great video.Breath taking scenery.Thank you.
Thanks a lot for the beautiful video ... Again 😊
Really enjoying following along on this adventure. Cheers

Another breathtaking scenery area.
Once again another beautiful episode, thank you!
Thank you for watching and joining the journey ! ☺️
Your videos are amazing! I like to watch them on big screen tv. Thank you for sharing your trips with us! All the best!🙂
So sorry about the swollen foot and the oil leak, Lea. I hope it's both remedied soon. Btw, the pisturesque landscape you are riding along/through is just so awesome. True balm for the mind, heart and soul !
Thank you Andy - it for sure was worth a swollen foot...
Beautiful as usual.Thank for sharing with us:
Thank you for being part of the virtual journey! ☺️
So beautiful and glad you're feeling better 💕💛🌺💙💚❤️💜🌼♥️🧡🤍💗🏵️
Stunning and great vid thanks for posting
Thank you! ☺️
Another amazing episode Lea, thank you!! 👍👍
Thanks for watching ☺️
Dawn.... A book aged by time and use, rests on a cast iron table...
Page by page, image by image, illustration by illustration, two figures come to life... One extremely discrete the other sometimes wears a red vest. They are the legend, the narrative of a stunning journey. Chapter by chapter, Senja a Lyngen Fjord....
The sun is already hiding from the green and white-speckle robes of granite elevations...
The book closes to the sound of the waves and does not allow you to read the next episode,... The North Cap!....
Antonio, you Are back with the poetry! Thank you so much, love it! Especially the end - but I promise you can read the next chapter next week! ☺️🙏🏻
Hello Lea, Norway is such a stunning country. Thank u for sharing ur journey the video footage is abs. Amazing
It seems that Norway is full of surprises.
I didn't expect to see such an amazing mountain chain there. Thank you Lea for bringing it to us.
Hope you get well soon(and the Ducati too).
Cheers from Rio !
Thank you Pedro! As well for me the lyngen alps were a big surprise! ☺️
Thnks for the inspiring moments catched, and presented a great and honest way!

Because of that, we are many that will follow in your footsteps the coming summer. Thanks a lot!!!

Fabulous video once again Lea. Happy New Year, and hope we all get the chance to travel as we desire during the course of the year.
Happy new year to you too! And yes, fingers are crossed for 2021!

Woooow .... wonderful video 👍.
Hola..! No me cansaré de decir.. Q bonitos lugares muy hermoso país.. Y q exelente video continua así.. Te envío saludos cordiales y un excelente inicio de año.. Desde la ciudad de Mexico... 🏍️
A beautiful video for sure. And I can’t believe the weather you are enjoying. Such beautiful views. I hope your foot is back to normal and you are well! Best!
Thank you! Yes, the weather finally turned out to be amazing!!!
i am thrilled to share your journey and i think watched all in norge to see some tromsö but sadly...
I love all your videos, but these from Lyngen Alps were the most beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing your journey!!!
Yes I think I only realized myself how beautiful it was when I cut the video - somehow my foot and the hospital visit and the leaking ducati kept me pretty busy that day. So I was very happy that I could visit the area again with the videos and without a swollen foot! 😂
Thank you very much for the opportunity to travel with you to this inspired journey !!!!
Thank you for joining the journey! ☺️
Maravilloso video!!!! Tengo muchísimas ganas de ir a Cabo Norte. Espero que en pocos años pueda ver cumplida hacer uno de mis viajes favoritos en moto. Preciosos lugares por donde discurre este video. Maravillosa forma de grabar y editar los vídeos. Me encanta como lo haces y la música que pones!!!
Amazing. Very breathtaking views. Thanks.
Thank you for watching!
For some reason your calming voice and awesome videos make me feel at peace! 🙏🏽👍🏽
love this
Great video! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This is a very nice work ! i hope that your foot is getting better now !
Grossartig, neben Senja einer meiner Favoriten in Norge. Bin gespannt heute Abend wohin es weitergeht. Safe travels.
No one has ever shown me the world the way you do, my dearest lady. It´s just as if I´m there riding alongside you. My best regards from Mexico.
That scenery is incredible, and the Lyngen lodge, holy smokes what a beautiful setting for an overnight stay. I love your editing in the vids, very well done, always appreciate the inserts telling us where you are etc. I hope your foot recovered quickly. Thanks for taking us along in the journey
I know, I am dreaming now of visiting the lyngen lodge in winter to ski there - just such an amazing setting!
Great that you are traveling with me virtually! ☺️
Lea, I hope you have fully recovered from the fly bites as well as the tic bites in the US, and that your friend from the Africa trip has recovered from his ankle injury.
Here in New Foundland, Canada we have Lingon Berries, the name of which comes from Swedish. We also have a Viking settlement there. This has been such a remarkably beautiful trip through Norway. Thanks for presenting it in such a beautiful manner. We can hear the joy and passion in your voice as you tell us about it. Cheers
Danke Lea für´s Mitnehmen. Ein super Einstand ins neue Jahr. Auf das dieses Jahr Reisefreundlicheres wird wie letztes ... ich habe Nordweh ;-)
Danke! Das wünsche ich uns auch. Ich habe Welt-weh. 😢
Absolutely beautiful wow
Lovely film, glad your foot is 👌. What a great place to ride. Cheers, Steve
Thank you Steve! ☺️
Lyngen has been our home for 11 years and you have done a fantastic job of highlighting the beauty of the place. Hope it isn’t too long before we can ride free once again without covid restrictions. Thanks for the wonderful film 👌
Oh a great place to live for sure! I now want to visit this area in winter too - but more on Skis than motorcycle 🥶
Yea, fingers crossed for all of us to hopefully be able to meet on the roads out there again soon!
Natürlich muss das rote Kleid vor dem Globus sein, darauf hab ich gewartet 😅. Wieder mal ein tolles Video dass die Reiselust erneut weckt.
Haha, dann sage ich nur: ich freue mich, dich auch bei der nächsten folge zu begrüßen, und dass du mit zum Nordkap reist!!!
Get well for your sick foot. Thank you very much for the video
Thank you! ☺️
Thank you for this amazing adventure. stay safe :)
You too! Thanks for watching! ☺️
Fantastic
Buenos días, excelente trabajo y muy buenos paisajes en esa hermosa naturalesa...cuides mucho y pronta recuperación...chihuahua, México
What a wonderful video. Thank you so much ! Sorry about the break down of the Ducati .
Thank you Lea for showing this part of your trip. Words like ‘super’ or ‘great’ are not enough to describe it. I just watch it a few times.
Your ankle will be alright eventually, as well as the Ducati, so I don’t worry about it. Great narration as well. Daume hoch. 😜
A little spoiler: the ankle was allright more quick than the ducati. 😂
Thanks for watching again Ed! 🙏🏻
Very beatiful. Thank you for your effort..
You are welcome ☺️
Beautiful beautiful beautiful 👌
Thanks! ☺️
Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation. Followers from Iraq.
Great film. I’m so inspired now to ride through Norway.
It’s definitely a great place to visit!
Superb quality...the videos improving with each upload...some of the best motorcycle travel adventures on CZcams...stay safe !!
Thank you for that amazing compliment. ☺️
@@Got2Go Your welcome... it's justified...superb content, video...fun and educational ...hope foot better ?...stay safe !!
The Lyngen Alps are a mountain range in northeastern Troms county in Norway. Only a few places provide the extraordinary feeling of being 'at the edge of the world'.
Hi ya guys what a magnificent place them roads are a bikers paradise so glad you got your ankle checked out Lea and it's fine ? Looks like your travel partner got a job lot of bike oil better to be safe than sorry so true. mountains took my breath away awesome thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences with us take care and be safe see you soon in your next vid cheers 🥰🏍👍👏
Thank you dean for traveling with us again! The ankle got better and better from that on! ☺️ the ducati not. 😂😂😂
Hey Lea. Hope the swollen foot gets better. Magnificent scenery and stunning fjords. Thank you for taking us along on your amazing adventure. PS. As requested, some warm sunshine is in the Post !
Seems like the sunshine finally reached its destination - thank you! 😍
Amazing scenery and camera work. Living vicariously and recalling our trip though Switzerland etc a couple of years ago.( on a BMW 1200GS). Just downloaded and enjoyed your book too! Cool to see your choice of a Tiger which I had until I swapped it for a Tenere 700. ;-) As an old bugger I was particularly taken with your Dad owning a Z900 ( one of my first bikes back in the 70's) .
You are a good story teller. Respect from Türkiye. 🇹🇷 👍
Thank you!
Super! Danke!!!
Wonderful Norway, I Hope I can get there someday, We have quite similar view in Lake Toba, North Sumatera , Indonesia. Wonderful Journey and your voice is so calm make me relax to hear it :) ..Good Job
Brilliant video, Lea, thank you! Leisurely cruising on nice roads enjoying the fairy tale beauty of the Lyngen Alps - awesome! Good to hear your foot is ok! And maybe some day you will proudly wear your original Got2Go cap? Next week i Got2Watch u2 reaching North Cape! See you soon!👍😊
Oh Christoph, I Love Got2wacht! 😂 I might steal that for some of my future previews!
Tolles Video!!!
Danke ☺️
I love your channel
I always feel at home when I watch your videos. One reason could be that you start all of them with "Uti vår hage" an Swedish folksong
I guess I feel like home too meanwhile when heating it - because I probably have heard it 1000 times while editing. ☺️😂
@@Got2Go ha ha, poor you. The song is beautiful but not 10 times a day week after week
Thanks for sharing this great destination which I didn’t have on my radar yet! Hope your food is much better in the meantime! Best, Jörn
Thank you! Foot already got much better after taking the cream this first night!
@@Got2Go Glad to hear this. Always good to have a Russian Doctor around when you need one🤘🏼🤓
Your episodes are great and are becoming better every time.
An Italian motorcycle that leaks oil 😁
Beautiful pictures! O.0
Superb place👍 Happy Journey 💐💐💐
Thank you!
🌺Beautiful🌺 👍Big thumbs up👍
"... because we feel much more like riding on the countryside today."
And this is right! No cities! Only nature and roads among the mountains and lakes!
Carry on!
👍
Thanks a lot for this beautifull videos. I was also last year at the nordkapp with my BMW GSA ;-)
So I guess you recognize a lot of the places that we went to!!
Brillant..🤘🤘🤙🤙🤙
WOW!
what a refreshing video to step out of the mess we are here in US thank You!
You are welcome. Thanks for traveling with me! ☺️
Toller 👌Reiseabschnitt. Zur jetzigen Coronazeit eine 🥰Reise 🧳 auf dem Sofa 🛋
place was beautiful ☺️ lyngen alps
Great view, proud of my country :)
It’s really a beauty! ☺️
Get well soon both of you !
For the swollen foot , mix Turmeric Powder and Salt with some clean water to make a thick paste , and put over night on the swollen area. wrap a clean cloth around it .
Thank you, will try next time! ☺️
I HOPE THERE WONT BE A NEXT TIME. THINK POSITIVE.
@@Got2Go Thank you for the Heart , I am aware that this video was taken during the Summer months , and you might be at another Continent now ; still wish you the best and hope you won't need it , but just incase.
Stunning mountains integrated into the spectacular clouds, tickled with a soupçon of fjord water.
Sorry about the foot, and glad it wasn't the BMW leaking....
Best wishes from lockdown location somewhere in Germany!
I was glad too that it was the ducati - just so I could feed my prejudices of Ducati’s being difficult divas. 😂 and hello to my home country!
Thank you both very much for a beautiful journey, dry and sunny with awesome views, good to hear your foot is good and on the mend, just the Ducati to be sorted, stay safe. D
Thanks for watching! Yes, the ducati is of course a bigger problem than a swollen foot 😂
@@Got2Go no way, you could always have a pillion for a while, health first? D
As an avid tourer (Africa Twin) I couldn't believe it when you pulled up at the Lyngen Lodge. My wife and I stayed there for 5 nights. Wonderful scenery. You were right not to go via Tromso.
Oh wow that is so cool! We were very sad that we only stayed one night - you did it right with staying 5 days in this beautiful part! It was a complete surprise to me!
Bonito bonito viaje al Norte.
Love From Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️
Legend 🙏🙏✨
Thank you! 🙏🏻
