Norway is indeed a very beautiful country and I've been there many times. I think it's great that all the nordic countries have their own distinct landscapes.
That tunnel is spectacular...it contains 3 hall like areas, to stop and make some photos in the light up halls. Western Norway very beautiful... Love my country when it comes to the nature That old farm village on Osterøy, Wich is the biggest innland Island in Norway... A Huge suspension bridge from Vaksdal takes u to Osterøy. The fish market in Bergen a must if you're there. Reindeer meat...well it's wild game meat, wonderfully nice. But u need a chef knowing what to do with the meat
24:00 I was walking to work and decided to take a short cut through this old part of Bergen, when I overheard an elderly American couple behind me. "Let's hurry up and get out of here", he told his wife. "I think we've ended up in the ghetto! I ain't waiting around to get mugged!!" I almost wet my pants laughing.
Hi from Norway! I have lived in Western Norway all my life in a small town with 30,000 inhabitants. We drink water directly from the streams or directly from the water tap. It's clean, but it is nothing ''in the water'' in Norway as I've heard you say a couple of times. It's raining a lot here. It's possible to take a swim in the fjords, most Norwegians do in summer time. The western climate is not like the eastern climate of Norway. Temperatures are relatively mild during winter time. Around 30F to 40F (-1C to 6C) Summer is cool and temperatures is from 55F to 88F (12C to 30C) Mountains and fjords are everywhere all the time. Norway is one of the richest countries in the world, and prizes are sky high compared to the USA. It's very cheap for Norwegians to visit USA.
Well... Sure water is clean enough to drink direct from but at parts of the year I would not drink direct from them like when snow is melting and a while after ad water is full of particles and could contain illnesses like Harepest and such. Like when wild animals die at snow and it melt down into the stream
@@SAGITTARlUS Yes as long as you know where to drink from you're good - moving water that has travelled a distance, that's natures cleaning filter. For example you don't want to drink water straight from a glacier, it has sand and possible dead animals. Also avoid stagnant water. Perfectly fine drinking water outside if you know a little about the outdoors
I live in Bergen, Norway! 🇳🇴 ❤ I feel very proud to guide people from all over the world and show them this wonderful city and its surroundings!...so when you visit Bergen I can guide you! 😉🇳🇴
In the end of Nærøyfjord, og find a small place called Gudvangen (the gods fields) where there's recreated a crafting and trading town from the viking age, called Njardarheimr, a place where you for a small fee are able can learn about the historical lifes of the Norse in the Viking Age from the historical reenactors and recreators that actually live on that village through the season.
Deer and Reindeer are quite different. They live in different geographical areas (Deer in foresty lowlands, Reindeer live mostly in the mountains) and they have different diets. So, as a result, they do not taste the same. If you want to go to Bergen and take the Funicular, you'll have to wait at least 6 months, as it recently closed down for renovation and an upgrade.
As someone that grew up just outside Oslo, but with a father from Bergen, i can safely say that Bergen on a (rare) sunny summers day is one of the most beautiful "major"(270.000 people, although most live in the surrounding suburbs) cities there is. Given that it rains so much there, whenever it's sunny the city just sort of comes to life and feels so happy.
WOW! keep up the good work! fantastic and enthusiastic commentary of the original narration! Thank you so much for your uniquely American raction! I really hope you one day get your wooden cabin retreat , you deserve it so much for sharing your joyful perspective with the world! Much love from Norway!
Beautiful countryside. I was there once in May so also at the national constitution day, wich was a great event with music and dance, i was there with a Dutch folk dance group. The Norwegian people are very friendly. Only alcohol is very expensive so no change to get drunk
The fjords in Western Norway are salt water, even if the waterfalls may make the top layers slightlky less saline, but being anything from 100 to 1,000 m deep it doesn't affet the total salinity much. Yes, in the summer you can have a swim there (or jump from a cliff) but it doesn't take too long before you hit the 4 C water layer. To be fair, most of the vikings "terrorizing" Europe were Danes (England's Danelaw, Normandy [the Norman Kingdom of Sicily was established by Normans of Danish extraction]), the Swedish vikings went down the Russian rivers, founding or strengthening cities like Novogorod and Kyiv/Kiev, reachiing the Black Sea and the Byzantine Empire as well as Arab traders. Vikings of various origin comprise the Byzantine emperor's life guard, the Varangian Guard; one of them was bored during a service in Hagia Sofia, he wrote his name in runes in the marble there. Norwegian vikings, while "helping out" in England, had mpre influence in Scotland, settling in and colonizing the Orkneys, Shetland;, the Western Isles [Hebrides] Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Wexford, and Limerick were also places of settlemet, as was the Isle of Man, North Wales. As well as Iceland, Greenland (for some 500 years) and the East coast of America at least to L'anse aux meadows on Newfoundland, where a settlement has been excavated. The stave churches were colourfully painted on the inside; they were not as monochrome as they are today. After Ireland, Norway had a greater part of the population emigrate to America than any other country. Even today, only 3% of area can be used for agriculture; farms were small. Life was very harsh, and until the mid-1900s Norway was one of the three poorest countries in Europe.
"To be fair, most of the vikings "terrorizing" Europe were Danes (England's Danelaw, Normandy [the Norman Kingdom of Sicily was established by Normans of Danish extraction])," It's difficult in general to say whether it was mostly danes or norwegians who "terrorized" europe during the Viking age. Most of the early raids and visits to England (which are generally used as markers for the beginning of the Viking age) were made by "Norwegian" Vikings, or rather - since Norway wasn't a complete country at the time - they are often assumed to be from Hordaland or Sogn. Danelaw obviously refers to Danish king's control of England, the name Normandy could refer to norwegians, but it could also just refer to North-men. The first northman duke of Normandy was Rollo, and most historians are very unsure on whether he was Danish or Norwegian. The invaders that expanded Danelaw were among others probably Ragnar Lodbrok - generally considered to be Norwegian - and his sons Ivar Beinlause and Halvdan Ragnarsson - both generally considered to be Danish. So it's difficult to say how many of the Vikings that established Danelaw were Danish or Norwegian. Most likely they were a good mix of the two, but as you say, probably a majority of the Vikings in english danelaw were Danish, and probably the majority of vikings further north and west were norwegian vikings. During the three hundred years of the viking age, denmark and norway change borders so many times that it's sometimes difficult to say historically what parts were denmark and what parts were norway. At one point for a small time a Danish king also ruled all of Norway and Denmark (Erik Bluetooth I think?). This was very much the way the rest of europe viewed the Danish-Norwegian Vikings, they often didnt even bother distinguishing between them. The were often grouped together as norsemen, north-men, barbarians, crazy bastards. Most of the written texts about Vikings come from these other european countries, and most of the times Viking raiders didn't announce their attack by saying "Hi we're Vikings from Jylland. It's in denmark by the way. Just so that you report correctly to your king, we wouldn't want the Norwegians to be blamed for this raid. This was done by us from Jylland. Just so you know, thx. ATTACK!!!"

I have lived in bergen for almost 30 years and it is beautiful here in western norway. I just gonna say that it is wrong that bergen was the first capitol of norway.

I feel so blessed to live along the nærøyfjord ❤ and its no problem to jump in the water 😜 as a taxi driver, the 15 miles tunnell is hell on earth. My record is 10 times in a day 🤣
21:04 First? Not exactly. We've had 5 capitals before Bergen. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historical_capitals_of_Norway Of course viking and medival kings had to move around quite a lot to administrate everything, so having just a single "capital" didn't really work all that well. As a result kings ruling over large parts of Norway (or all of it) usually had to travel around quite a lot and had several "royal farms" or settlements etc, that where the local capitals of the regions from where they ruled when they where in the area. But even so, my own home city of Trondheim had become the one main hub a long, long time before Bergen became a capital. So calling Bergen our first capital is just outright wrong.
10:04 "Trans-Norway"? Never heard that word before. And no-one calls it that. The lines are named after the towns they connect to the capital or the regions they pass etc. So Bergen and Oslo are connected by the "Bergensbanen". literally the "Bergen line", and that's what we call it even in other cities not on that line. The line connecting Oslo and Trondheim is "Dovrebanen" (means the "Dovre line" and it passes the town of Dovre in the Dovre mountains so it makes sense to us). 10:35 The line he's on is "Flombanen" (the "en" at the end means "the", and "Flombanen" means "The Flom line" and it connects Flom with the "Bergensbanen"). It's a beautiful line, but due to all the tourism it's too expensive and touristy to really be worth taking these days. I'd recommend just taking the regular "Bergensbanen" if you have the time. 10:43 See what I mean? That's supposed to look like "Hudra" (the "a" at the end meaning "the", without the "a" or in English, "the" it would just be "Hulder").

Norway did NOT gain independence in the early 1800s. We got our constitution in 1814 and our independence in 1905. Christianity came to Norway in 850-1050, and institutionalized before 1100. Gargoyles take away water. Most statues on top of old buildings are called grotesques, and that includes the dragon heads on stave churches.
Wtf? That's not food at the first hotel. That's stomach harassment. Why would anyone eat to get hungrier? 😆️ Kinda fun to see these places I've visited myself (excluding some). Didn't spot the mini stave church in Undredal though. Living and sleeping close to these cliffs and mountains? Kinda scary to hear rolling thunder echoing around from rockslides.

Yes. It gets really warm here during summer, at least I think so. So jumping in the water is a nice way to cool down a bit.
Fishing in the fjords, west of Norway is amazing, thriving sea life and stunning view wherever you fish.
Was surprised that it was not more mountains views from Bergen because it is so beautiful ❤ The city between the 7 mountains 👍❤

Whilst Bergen is an amazing city, Tunsberg is Norway's first capital, and the city is celebrating it's 1150 years anniversary this year.
