  • A story about trekking 3 days through Norway via the DNT (The Norwegian Trekking Association). No car necessary from the moment you land at the airport, this adventure is a must do if you love hiking and have a few days to take in Norway’s Grand Canyon.
    This video represents our first stop on our journey to experience the world.

      What a beautiful place to grow up. How has the area changed since the 70s and 80s? We absolutely fell in love with this route, and are planning (hopefully) to do another DNT route this year. Do you have recommendations on a route that is as beautiful as this one?

    So you're going to Switzerland to run "to the top of the tallest mountain in Europe". Wow....that will for sure be some record breaking marathon.... That because the tallest mountain in Europe is named Elbrus ( 5642 meter ) ....and is located in the HIgh Caucasus mountains in Russia....some 3600 km away from Switzerland. It is good with ambitions to run so far....but that story of yours ...well....I think is a bit over the top ambitious....
    I do know about a marathon in Switzerland which is about to run up the mountain of Jungfraujoch ....which is 3463 meter. It is not even close to be the tallest mountain in Switzerland......which is Monte Rose of 4642 meters.
    Shall we say that you're a bit lost in the geography....

    • @collinandmeredith
      @collinandmeredith  Місяць тому

      Hi Dan! Thank you so much for watching our video. We hope you enjoyed it!
      It seems you’re very familiar with mountain running and geography! We wrongly assumed Jungfrau’s marketing “The top of Europe” (which is on the website, t-shirts, advertising, etc) meant that it was the tallest. As we came to find out, it has this title because of the railway, making it the highest accessible point in Europe . Have you been on this railway before? It’s quite stunning!
      We sure are lost in our geography, but we sure can say it was a challenging marathon, a beautiful mountain, and a great story. 😁

    Very few Norwegians drinks Voss water. Overpriced tap water sold as holy drink from a glacier🤣🤣🤣 Nah I’m good. Grew up and live in Norway and never tasted it. And only seen it once in high school, and the one girl who drank it was shamed so bad. It was just “status” to have the bottle I guess. This was like 2007/2008. The joke is that water here is so clean anyway. Everyone drinks tap water. And I grew up hiking and we drank straight from the stream up in the mountains/tundra. Not to say we don’t buy bottled water if thirsty if out and about, but it’s not because our tap water isn’t drinkable because it is😝 I’ve traveled both in Europe and Asia, and bottled water elsewhere tastes really bad.

    • @collinandmeredith
      @collinandmeredith  4 місяці тому

      I love that you grew up drinking it straight from the stream! We talked a lot during the hike about how we wish we could have done that growing up...Norway has incredible water!

      Thank you! The cabins were $30 a night per person and the train ticket was $100 per person...we packed all our meals and ate out once (which we'd recommend doing) and I think that was about $30 and totally worth it!
