Spellbinding places on the west coast of Norway - Travel in Vestland county

- I traveled west coast Norway off the beaten path in April this year. And it was a huge surprise...
This trip was already pre-planned for our job, and we had no idea what to expect, but wow, some of these places were such hidden magic! In this video we explore Voss and the surrounding area, which is about one and a half hour from Bergen. This video is the first of four videos I have made from this area, so if you would like to see more you can find them here:
Part 2 (where we get lost in the mountains of Gulen): • We got lost in the mou...
Part 3 (We go further out to the sea and visit Skjerjehamn and Byrknes): • We are starting a new ...
Part 4 (We visit Norways westernmost municipality Austerheim): • Our life on the road i...
West coast Norway, or more specifically "Vestland" which is where we were travelling, is largely visited, but people often go to places like Bergen and Trolltunga. They do not explore places that are a bit off the beaten tourist path in Norway.
But why not avoid the crowds and head for somewhere different and more hidden? Especially now that we need to avoid crowds more than before? If you are travelling in Norway, I hope you will have some use of it :-). Enjoy!
Places visited in this video are all about two hours drive from Bergen:
- Voss. Bordalsgjelet.
- Straume. Skipshelleren.
Some of you might remember the video I made about the preparations for our school tour? If not you can see the lead up video to this one here: • self employed and stre...

Dear Maria, i enjoyed this video so much!!! My heart explodes full of memories from past lives. I cannot explain the feeling. This has been by far one of your BEST videos!! Thank you for such a heartfelt production and continue the amazing work!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Forgot to say this is Saray lol xoxoxo 😄
Thank you so much Saray. And how interesting! Maybe you lived here in some past life
Noway just looks incredible, I really want to visit one day. What an exciting and adventurous place.
You are most welcome ♡
Took me ages to get real time to watch this but I enjoyed it so much. That cave is epic and what a dream it would be for me to sing in a place like that. Look forward to more videos like this sometimes I hope :)
Maria, this is an excellent video, and I just can't wait to see part 2. You captured the spectacular scenery so well, especially in the opening sequence and at the ravine. Thank you so much for taking us on your fabulous journey, and capturing so much on video. I've just spent the past 17 minutes saying wow wow wow ! I might just have to watch this one a second time.
Thank you so much Mark, it really means a lot that you enjoyed it. I guess the opening scene is a hint of whats to come in part two, so I am glad you liked that!
I wish you a good weekend!
Wait, I've been to Voss so many times and I had no idea this ravine existed! Will have to go visit next time I'm at Voss!
Me too! I guess I never really explored Voss in itself you know? It was such a surprise!
Så flott filmet og redigert, spesielt fra ravinen. Musikken passer så bra til stemningen! 😍 Litt Wardruna vibes liksom, hehe 🏰🐉
Tusen takk ♡♡. Haha ja den musikken minner veldig om de, enig.
Vilken herlig video! 🤩 Jeg liker hus som är bygget av tre (wooden houses), så fint. Hoppas ni fått tillfälle att hvile efter er 'arbetsrunda'. Visst är det väl fantastisk när det är helt stille! No noice pollution - lovely! Hoppas ni har det fint!

Wow that ravine was so amazing! And I loved the drone footage and music! I would love to get a drone for my films, it adds such an amazing element! Very well done on your video, I am inspired to see more of your work :)
Thank you so much, really glad you liked it. Drones give such a different perspective, I never regretted getting it
@@Mariaandtheforest I totally agree, okay I am very inspired to get one :) Thanks for your great content, talk to you soon!
Oh my goodness this is just a spectacular video. And I am pretty sure that I have a cousin, Kjell, who lives in Voss. I must get in touch with him and next trip I will go and visit him and his wife. I cannot wait to see Part II! The drone shots are fantastic. And that wonderful narrow road trip was just beautiful. Reminds me of Jamaica where I grew up. (Yes, half Jamaican half Norwegian! LOL!)
Thank you
@@Mariaandtheforest I am so fortunate to have the best of both worlds from my parents. Two of the most beautiful countries in the world - Norway and Jamaica! I got to go to school in Trofors for 1 semester when I was 14 - I wish it had been longer. And now I have been studying Norwegian on Duolingo (thanks to a heads up from the "Life in Norway" blog) since Covid began (other than 5-6 months when I had no internet at my cabin). My Norwegian is much better now!
This gorge looks amazing. I need to stop and go there next time I will be passing through the Voss :)
I hope you get to see it! It was such a surprise driving past it. And it was also a nice road to get there :-)

So beautiful 👍🙏

Norway 🇳🇴 is an amazing beautiful country 😍

Kjærleik!

Lovely video! That narrow canyon was so beautiful! I live in a very different place from Norway- a desert. I am from Tucson, Arizona, USA. I do live in the countryside now, though, about an hour from the city. It is monsoon season here, the time of year when we get our rain. It often is above 100 degrees F. here in the desert, and we almost never get snow. Instead, our summers are too long and hot. I came across this channel when doing plant research for a piece of writing I’m working on; I’m also studying Norwegian as a second language, but there’s not many resources here where I live. In this part of America, the second most common language is Spanish. I am looking forward very much to the next video!
Hi! So interesting how people find this channel from all these different places and climates around the world! A desert, wow. So happy you found the channel through research for a piece of writing! I love to write myself
@@Mariaandtheforest Thanks for the reply! I will be sure to check out the videos that are in Norwegian! I am still on the hunt for a local tutor but will do what I can on my own in the meantime!
@@emmyfischer307 Yeah, I need someone to speak Norwegian with too - and we are both Fisher/Fischer. LOL!
nice to see that you went to some of my reomandations :)
and if you are ever in the erea again, I can show you some even more hidden gems :)
❤️❤️
Oh . . My . . The places you traveled through were stunning! The gorge with water running through, your drone shots, the music you selected, all such a treat! Thank you so much
Hi Kathy, so glad you enjoyed it. I felt very grateful to be able to travel to those places with my work, such a bonus. Wishing you a nice Christmas
@@Mariaandtheforest a blessed Christmas to you too, Maria!
