@@burger9997is there a good time to visit in the summer months when the bugs aren't too bad? Here when visiting Northern Ontario sometimes are unbearable with mosquitoes and black flies
It has not changed much since 1986, when I was there (driving from the Netherlands). I only drove it at night (as far as there is a night in july). I remember there was a man selling hot dogs. He was asleep behind his counter, but I woke him up and he made us some hot dogs at 05.00 am. 🙂Nice guy, not very talkative, but nice nonetheless.
Interessante sapere che eri la già nel 1986 , per cui ti chiedo se al tempo ti era riuscito di capire se le case vicino alla scuola ed alla chiesa fossero ancora regolarmente abitate. Pochi anni fa sembrava non fossero più abitate regolarmente. Grazie .
I'm amazed at the amount of green tree coverage this far north of the Arctic Circle and up to 25C in the area for June. I could easily be fooled for thinking this was southern Norway. Can you put any animals on the paddock at 3:20?
I wondered about that as well. Maybe in the military or border patrol. It's pretty far from Kirkenes to commute, a long drive over low standard roads until you hit E105.

Really nice drive. I love Norway 👍🏻
A nice scenic drive. Thank you for sharing 😊
Norway is fantastic! 🇸🇯
Next time driving this way in the winter, good luck 😉💪
That would be a pretty dark ride this far north!
Man, how come you always have a good weather during your trips? Even this far north?
This june was good weather wise in the north

В России так просто к границе не подъедешь. В 2022 году уже в Никеле пограничники требовали документы и уточняли с какой целью приехал
That sums up the difference between an authoritarian country at war and a peaceful democratic country.

What camera do you use to film videos?
This was recorded with a GoPro Hero 8. I forgot to set it at 4K, so it was the last video recorded at 2.7K.
Super❤
Norway 👍🤗

Thombs down for all the pointless annoying text.
Ничего не имею против граждан Норвегии, есть знакомые из береговой охраны Норвегии, хорошие люди, но не имеют собственной воли подчиняются США.
Wow❤
This is strange...i love it

The cattle grid at 6:45 is to stop cows or (more likely) sheep from using the road to get to the wrong side of the fence.
So what do people do for a living so far north? Agriculture seems a bit difficult over there. Or is it animal husbandry?
