There are good days, and there are bad days. And then there are great days. Like today. 🙂 I have a few caches that I haven’t logged in this region. Five of them are in Messlingen, so that was my target today. On the way, I stopped at the Kappruet Trädgårdscafé for lunch, been meaning…

You know how much I love hiking, but this week I’ve had this enormous longing to be out and about, even I’m surprised. It could be mosquito related though – there are none. We’ve already had night frost and it’s not that warm during the day either. Gloves are a must-have. In other words, it’s…

The main attraction of our little vacation is the Romsdalseggen hike. The best (and most popular) option is to take a bus from Åndalsnes to Venjesdalen, so you can hike back to Åndalsnes where the trail finishes right next to the parking lot where we left the car. Very practical! When you hit the trail,…

Sometimes Plan B works out better than Plan A. I have a feeling that this was the case for this mini-vacation. Instead of doing Galdhøpiggen (bad weather), I did some last minute research and found a route that includes the Aursjøveien (Aursjøvegen) mountain road, Norway’s highest waterfall Mardalsfossen, the spectacular Romsdalseggen hike in Åndalsnes, and the…

The wind is really bad today. And when I drove the Mittåkläppen road in the morning, the thermometer showed a generous 4 degrees (well, at least it was above freezing). I had gloves which really were needed, but a cap and some long underwear would’ve also felt nice. On the upside, no mosquitoes! With the…

Roaldstöten is a strange looking small peak next to Blåstöten. I’ve wanted to summit it for a while now, mostly because I’ve wanted to see what it looks like up close. But in the long term, I also want to summit all the named peaks in the Anåfjället massif, and now I have two left…

I don’t want to leave. The lake was mirror calm in the morning and the sun was warm. I couldn’t imagine a better place to be right then! But then again, hiking in this weather through the spectacular Lunndörren was also something I looked forward to. The blister I got yesterday made some noise when…

The clouds were low in the morning, but it wasn’t raining any more. I was going to do a hike to Pyramiderna (the Pyramids) and the Issjödalen valley but since I had the whole day on me, I wasn’t in a hurry to leave while there wasn’t much landscape to be seen. So I just…

Many many years ago I heard about a geological formation called Pyramiderna (the Pyramids) in the Vålådalen nature reserve. I’ve wanted to see them ever since, but as always, I just don’t get it done. About four years ago I even drew a route, but I still didn’t get the actual trip done. And when…

Because it’s not summer until I’ve had a waffle at Djupdalsvallen!
