Trip in Norway ~ Beginner difficulty

 

On a calm, lightly clouded day in the beginning of July, we took the ferry to the south side of the fjord to climb the mountains I looked at every day through my childhood. A great experience!

The trip started at a steep forest road.

 No trail, but in an open terrain like this, that is no problem.

Walking on dry rocks and mountain is very easy.

 A lot of snow, but no problem.

Looking back to the north side of the fjord, where I grew up and still have my mountain paradise.

We had a lot of breaks to enjoy the great wiev. Here we are looking west, to Bremanger and the ocean.

A lot of ups and downs on this trip. Here we go down to Kvitsanden 658 masl, before climbing to the top of Troda, 954 masl.

Traditional mountain huts. The cellar for the cattle, the cabin for the milkmaid. Today there are no cattle and no milkmaidens, but the cabins are in good repair, and the owners use them for recreation.

 Troda, 954 metres above sea level. Great wiev in all directions :-)

A sheep with her two lambs looking at us. Behind them we can see Frøysjøen, Bremanger and Hornelen.

Look like a marvellous trip. And even better to hear you tell about with enthusiasm in your voice.

You are right, Eva Mari, it really was a marvellous trip! You don´t need to cross half the earth to have a great nature experience. Sometimes you only have to cross the fjord:-)
