Whats a good road trip without beautiful roads and incredible scenery? We set out to find some of the most unique and unreal places in the western part of Norway. Expect amazing fjords, mountains, rivers, glaciers lakes and more! For the first time during this trip, we start using a new addition to our gear; the inflatable kayak! Oh boy what a good investment this turned out to be, so thrilled to explore more on the water and get new perspectives.
Some of the places featured in this video: Lovatnet, Geiranger, Bøyabreen, Aurlandsfjellet.

I saved the best for the very end, in my opinion at least😉 Who wanna do a similar trip?!🇳🇴
I was planning to do a trip thru Norway with my T3 (almost the same as you) then i discovered your channel, amazing videos !!
Cool! Hopefully it will serve as a helpful reference to where it’s nice to stay/drive. Good luck with your future T3 trips :)
I am planning a road trip from Lithuania to Nordkapp next year at summer-autumn with my 1987 BMW e28 5series. I was working in Norway for a coupe of years, and I regret, for not traveling more at that time. so I am planning to come here for a road trip, to see more of that amazing Norway :) These series is perfect for planning my route.Good luck guys!
Simon Braeck looking forward to episode 3🤩
Count me in, maybe in a different vehicle or simply hiking/biking/etc.
I had to pause to leave a comment, because these visuals are literally the best.. seriously! Ive been to Norway and I know it looks like this, but seriously, what a heaven for everyone that loves making and watching good visuals!
This feedback is the best, I really appreciate it🙌🏼 It sure is very pretty almost wherever you go, but we try to pick out the best spots and also show some lesser known places. Still so many beautiful places to show in the coming episodes🤗
@@SimonBraeck I'm saving up for that vw t3, one day it's going to be me haha🎉
Fingers crossed! :)
Dude, you makes some of my favorite vlogs on TH-cam! I’ve been binge watching them all lately! Incredible all around!
Thanks Ryan! Having so much fun traveling with the van and the editing part is even more fun often😂 I really appreciate feedback like this from a fellow video maker🙌🏼👏🏼
Great landscape, cool T3 Bus and smart people! Thanks for having shared these pictures from your beautiful country. I keep my fingers crossed that Bus stays reliable!
Thanks🤗🙌🏼 It’s my pleasure taking you all along, hopefully we’ll be waving to more T3s on the road the coming seasons. Me too😄
Hi Simon, wie immer ein super tolles Video was du hier reingesetzt hast. Hab mich vor zwei Wochen schuldig gemacht und mir auch einen VW t3 mit Westfalia Ausstattung gekauft Bj 1981, danke das du mich so inspiriert hast. Mach weiter so. 👍
This was such an amazing vlog! How you capture the scenery and mood is just phenomenal! I really like you as couple and the vibe you have is perfect! Looking forward for the next one 🤩
Thanks Thomas! So many positive words, I appreciate it🙌🏼 Will do my best in the next one too😄
Incredible video - absolutely stunning shots!!! Vakre, vakre Norge❤️🇳🇴
Simon, thanks for making those road trip vlogs. I enjoyed every second of your road trip. The Scandinavian nature is spectacular, the mountains, the glaciers, and the lakes are gorgeous. Your cinematography and editing skills is out of this world! Looking forward to the next episode!
My pleasure, big thanks to you for continuing to watch and support my work😊😊
Your videos are anti-depressants. You both seem so laid back and really good people, you are relaxing to watch
Thanks! We try to keep it easy and slow, even though there is so much to discover and see.
Really loved the vlog. Great images and storytelling! Will follow from now on!
I am shocked to see only 14.3k subscribers! Your channel has been recommended and your videos are EXCEPTIONAL!! I love all the cinematography and your humble vibes 🙏❤️ love from the UK ✨
Wow, thank you so much! It means a lot🙌🏼 Will keep on making these as long as people enjoy them😊
What a beautiful glimpse into what Norwegian nature has to offer. Makes me miss my home country.
Subscribed, and shared the video on my FB, LI & Twitter account. Wish you all the best on your adventure.
I just found your channel and am in awe of the beauty you are able to capture. Keep up the fantastic work!
Those drone shots and efits especially at the 9:21, are top notch. I haven't seen anything like that before. Good luck and keep up the amazing work
Thank you so much! It is fun to get creative from time to time😊
Having met a few of these places I can assure that it is as beautiful (or more) in person. Great video and photography!
I agree, its hard to showcase the true beauty through video! Thanks you :)
have just discovered you and I was immediately sold omg this is really great. goosebumps all over my body so beautiful to look at. also very nicely edited. really enjoyed it many thanks for that. keep it up. enjoy
Wow, thank you so much😳🙌🏼 I’m so glad you liked it😀
Right norweigan Simon, this video is beyond belive...
I have never ever seen such a beautiful composition of camerawork and norway together, not to mention the music... fits right spot on... a masterpiece
Your filming and editing is excellent. I really enjoy the balance of the scenery and your VW T3. What a stunningly beautiful country. Thanks for sharing:)
Norway is on my bucket list to visit with my camper, can’t wait for the next episode.We had a T3 Westfalia for 8.5 years loved that van but sold it as we had finished restoring our 74 Westfalia T2.
I’ll continue showing places that might be of interest then😄🙌🏼 Ooh, kudos to you! T2’s are fun!
Outstanding and Enjoyed a lot.. ! Very Scenic and also liked Your Affection towards Your Dog
Sinnsyk filming, fantastisk matlaging, spennende turer og vakker natur! Wow! Noe av det beste jeg har sett på TH-cam noensinne! Stå på! 😁🎉
Mange takk Vegard, det settes pris på😃🤩 Ganske så fint land🇳🇴
Such a beautiful scenes. I can’t wait for the next episode. All the best💐
Thank you very much :) New episode dropping soon:)
Incredible scenery, amazing vlog guys!
Thanks Andy😊
Enjoyed watching again! cant wait for the ep.3
Thanks! I’m equally excited to share it😃
You guys are really lucky to enjoy these marvelous sceneries that Norway has to offer. I really miss them. One day I hope to go back again.
Yes indeed we are👏🏼 Fingers crossed :)
You both reinforce what I've already thought about Norway and Norwegians. Norwegians are just super cool (like you two) and Norway is just gorgeous, second to only Switzerland and that's only by a little bit. The friendliness of the Norwegian people, makes Norway my destination goal.
Thank you, that’s so kind of you! Let’s hope you’ll get to visit some day and that my fellow Norwegians will take good care of you🤗
Simon, awesome Vlog! Beautiful Pictures that will last very long in my mind and it remembered me so much of my last Trip to Norge! Thanks!
Thanks Carsten! Thats the power of video, haha:) Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the trip. Nice to see in this strange times.
The view at 10:18 is at place called Byrkjelo. North western part of western Norway. The lake is called Bergeimsvatnet and the tall peak in the background is Eggenipa. 1339 meters above sea level.
My Gf is from this place and I have been there many times the last 20 years.
I have been on the top of Mount Eggenipa at least 6 times. Speldid view.
The green color on the water is due to this is water from a glacier.
Green but very cold, refreshing.
Great production man, love the editing and music you added! You guys visited some of the best places in the country :)
Thank you🙌🏼 Really fortunate to have the chance to see all of these places
Finally 🤩 lets get some inspiration 🎬 you guys rock!
Thanks Marco! I appreciate it🙌🏼😊
What a great production! I'm always glad to see my childhood areas captured by others! Keep up the good work! This inspired me to make travel videos again!
Takk Magne😃 Veldig fint område, vi er heldige her til lands🇳🇴
Your videos just get better. Great job.
That’s very kind of you, thanks!🤗
So great!!! I come back home last Sunday from my motocycle Trip in norway.I love your Film!!
Thanks Frank! It's so cool to cruise along the roads of Norway, right?😊👍🏼
Fantastic scenery, so grand, so imposing, its like a mythical scenery. I must visit Norway.
What a n amazing drive I was blown away just with the drive then u hit me with the hike and kayaking ahh amazing My family is originally from Norway. But I have never been. I can wait to visit and take my two kids and wofe and show my children there amazing heritage. Keep going with series. Love it.
Thanks Eric! We feel kinda spoiled to be honest, perfect place for people that loves nature. Put Norway on your bucket list, you won't be disappointed :)
Just perfect. I would spend everything on such a trip at the end of my days.
Thank you! It’s such a unique journey going through this landscape🇳🇴😊
Beautiful scenery. I sure miss my old VW T25 camper. Love the videos so thanks for sharing. Andy UK
Amazing chapter in life. Amazing. Nothing more to say.
That's very kind of you, thanks!
That´s a nice and cozy part of Norway. We had the same rainy weather this summer though.
That was an awesome vlog guys. Such beautiful places. Glad you got your solar system sorted.
Cheers Ben
Thanks😊 We’re kind of spoiled here up north, at least in the warm(er) months! And we listen to our knowledgeable viewers regarding smart and proven solutions 😉
@@SimonBraeck :) Is the solar set up working well for you? I'm so glad you went for a quality charge controller, with the shorter days it'll maximise the efficiency of the solar panel.
I love it! Im getting nerdy and following along the controller via the bluetooth app, haha. Might add another panel and for sure look into more modern batteries too :)
I love the sound when the Van is moving, Awesome content ❤️
Nostalgic sound😄
@@SimonBraeck yeah,good stuff
Great Vlog!! Its in my checklist to explore Norway.... and this vlog gives me more encouragement to visit it someday.... :)
Thank you :) I hope you get to come over here one day!😊🙌🏼
Beautiful is right ,love your videos please be safe and keep them coming
Thanks😊😊 I’ll try my best, take care!
Great editing, Simon! And was a pleasure to meet your on the road guys ;)
Thanks mate :) Likewise, hope your trip was good and that Norway treated you nice this time too 😊
Hi there you guys (dog included!), thanks for letting us all come along (in a manner), and in particular for the absolutely _outstanding_ manner you're presenting my country and it's raw, unspoiled beauty! - Exquisite angles of view throughout, both of humans, dog and gear/van! (The drone footage makes the real icing on the cake though!...) I'd be bold enough to posit that *_this_* is what living is all about . . .
(Oh, and yupp, you've got a brand new sub! 😉👌) Take care & enjoy life to the fullest!💓
Hi! Thank you so much for these kind words, wow! I really appreciate when people recognizes the effort that goes into making these videos, so this means much to me. We had a great time exploring our home country, the perfect place for a long road trip. Take care, you too!🤗🤗
Hello, just found your channel. Great videos with a perfect views. Looking forward to watching these more. Thank you!
Hi! Thanks for checking out my videos, I appreciate it🙌🏼
Tilt-shift at 9:21 is out of this world. Nice one!

Great trip on an amazing land..

Cool channel, just found out today. That inflatable kajak looked better than many. Cool to van around and beautiful dog. Our van is a tad newer and had a RV before. Long for visiti g Norway again on advride trip with the bike or a van tour. Now next episode!
Cool! Thanks for watching. We love our old but nostalgic setup and doing upgrades and improvements along the way is really fulfilling for us😊
Beautiful guys cheers 👍🏻
Thank you!😊😊
Now that interstate is Paved With memories
Absolutely awesome scenery.
Thanks a lot :)
I love it. My favorite people to follow on Instagram. Very interesting journey. Can't wait to see more clips. 🙏👍
Thank you Joseph, that’s so nice of you! More great fun coming up in the next one😄
Enjoyed watching this video.But beauty of Norway has made this video more interesting. Now I see Norway is perfect country with full of natural beauty. So excited I m planning my travel to Norway after watching this video.
Thank you, I think most people who visit Norway won't be disappointed 🤗
Amazing vlog.😍
Thank you!
My wife and I enjoy your videos. Having visited my family in Norway (most are in N. Trondelag) I've had a chance to see many parts of the country. We hope that you'll get a newer vehicle someday so you won't breakdown so often. I've done trips like this with 2 of my 'norsk fetter' in Norway, the US and northern Europe. Keep on vannin'!
Nice...memory for life 😊
Thanks😊 We will remember these moments for very long.
Awesome video! Great job
Thank you😄 Sounds like you’ve seen a lot here already! Luckily Norway is big enough to keep exploring for a very long time🤗
This view is amazing in Norway. It looks like perfect place for people which drive by camper. I wish to have the same in Poland. All the best for you!
I think you would love driving through this country. We met so many tourist along the way that said they had a great time. Thanks, you too😊😊
Hi! Welcome from the Netherlands. I just went to Norway. I seems that I my parents gave me a Norwegian name. LOVED your video and your shots are amazing. Seriously mind blowing. Keep up the excellent work! Cheers.
Hi Are! It's indeed a Norwegian name, that is so cool! :D Thanks for the kind words, take care :)
Wunderschön 😍
Danke maine frau
Wonderful video of a beautiful country, my favourite holiday destination that unfortunately I couldn't visit this year because of Corona...And, by the way, your car is neat (I used to have three T3 in a row for 21 years). Thx from another subscriber!
Thanks Joachim! Yeah, hopefully your chance of coming back here will come soon. Cool, I hope we can keep it for that long too, haha! :)
Wonderful trip! Very tempting. My great grandparents were Norwegian. :)
Thanks Colin, we had a blast. You have great roots! ;)

Thanks! Yes, I think you would like it🤙🏼

Hey, thanks! That’s so kind of you, I’m very grateful that you think so☺️ We were pretty amazed to see all this in person, summer time in Norway sure is recommended.
We loved Norway. And we rolled out a 34 episodes Series. We went in a T6 but we had two baby girls! Have a look! Nice video 👍🏻
Thanks! I will take a look :)
Norway and Balkans is no 1 for the VW t3 trip😀👍great video💪

I WANNA SO MUCH MOVING NORWAY THIS COUNTRY MAKE ME HAPPY SO MUCH I LOVE U SO MUCH NORWAY ❤FROM TURKEY
yeah i wanna so much also
@@RonaldSterijuanna yes I love this country very nice
food is 3xprice
@@FLINTSTONES45 I dont care I coming with turkish meals xd
First thing and mandatory: Should have a pair of blue/green eyes and at least 1.85 cm. Otherwise, stay away! Especially from Turkey
Thanks for the many impressions👍 very informative. We are also considering traveling the area with our van. Greetings AnCo-Adventures
Thanks for watching, my pleasure! Hope it was inspirational :)
Great video 👍
Thank you!
Norway is breathtaking,love from India❤️ keep going guys
Thank you! More to come😃
Wow I like your pumping kayak good idea I need to buy it Thank you for sharing beautiful video Love it :)
It’s pretty clever and works good! Thanks😊
This is a happy doggo
2 minutes on, its at my family place, dyrdal camping at bakka, gudvangen. also they rent out kajaks, brings out good memories
Your channel deserves 7 M subs. Very good quality videos ❣️❣️❣️
Thanks! Fingers crossed, maybe one day😂
@@SimonBraeck Thanks for replying 👀, love you guyz 🥰
Pretty place ! I would love to take a bunch of pictures if I was there...
Our memory cards filled up really quickly... :)
Very nice interactive video. I did travelled inside Norway more then 5000 Km in 18 days. A car camping tour. Its awesome.
Thank you! We did 7500km this time, still so much to see luckily🤩
At the end of tour, it was Tour burn. Even losing motivation to Do a small hike. I hope There Will be some nice tip from your side who travels a lot. On how to avoid it.
Its simply an amazing country, and I live in sweden...
Känner igen vanen från instagram! Ni har fått till den riktigt fin :D Grym video och snygga färger du fått till !
Very nice 😊🙌🏻
Thanks☺️
Thank you sir for sharing.. Im a swede seen it already, nothing new to me but home now and waiting for the norwegian lift off border to sweden...😑
Mr Corona will make sure the border will be closed a long time so you just have to be patient i guess.
Nice video! I bet you slept pretty close to each other rolling from right to left while your tent wasn't level at all😁
Thanks! Yeah, luckily we’re good friends😄
Thanks for sharing your trips and destinations! Love it all, very jealous but keeping notes of everything 🤩Does your dog really go in the kayak? What do you do with the dog when the two of us are kayaking? Do you travel with friends?
Sure thing, thanks for watching😊 She loves the kayak apparently, but we still need to figure out how to go all three of us at the same time. We meet up with friends from time to time, but mostly we are alone. When we are out kayaking, Zulu is sleeping in the van, she is really easy to deal with and loves sleeping alone in the van😄
These locations are on my bucket list now. Maybe a motorcycle trip someday..
that shot at 9:21 is so epic! props
Thanks! Pretty things all around🤩
Agreed - I guess that's tilt-shift photography with a UAV? Just did a long coastal fjord trip in my own T3, and now think Norwegian scenery might well rival or even surpass that of British Columbia.
Yeah, that’s pretty much it:) Well, I’ve been there too and it will easily impress spoiled Norwegians regarding the dramatic nature! I still need to see the area in a T3 though🤗
