I found why there are commonwealth graves in Stavanger. In November 1942 an attempt was made to destroy the hydroelectric power station at Vermork, Telemark. Two gliders and an aircraft engaged in the raid crashed in southern Norway. All those aboard, engineers of the 1st airborne division and members of the commonwealth air forces were either killed in the crash or died at the hands of their German captors.
There are commonwealth war graves not only in Stavanger (which is like 300km from Vemork. No immediate relation there), but all over the country. According to the offical government pages, there are 1150 graves for fallen commonwealth soldiers in Norway. They are located in 74 different graveyards across the country. There's also soviet gravesites, german, jugoslavian, polish and dutch gravesites from WWII all over Norway.
Those "pointless canes sticking out of the ground" are vital in the winter. Without them the plough truck would have no idea where the road is after a heavy snow.
Haha I thought the same! If it was western Norway, it could have been winter, but more likely there would have been lots of snow if it was winter! Especially considering the sticks used to mark the road.
That looks nothing like spring or summer. Low sun in the south and no leaves on the trees means it's late autumn or early winter before the snow. Besides, winter near the coast often looks exactly like that, since they don't always get snow.
I love that we norwegians feel very special when anything related to Norway get mentioned outside of Norway. When we comment we have to make sure that everyone knows that we are indeed norwegians, like I just did. Cheers mate, love the videos. I wish you a blessed evening!
Hey Tom! Stumbled across your channel last week, then proceeded to binge about 20 geoguessr episodes and two of your epic travel adventure series. I apologize for my country being so annoying on geoguessr 🇨🇦
Trekanten = The Triangle barn leker = children (are) playing Sporsluse = Particular street blocker, made so that firetrucks and garbage trucks can pass while passenger cars cannot. Samfunnshus = Literary "society house", Community centre (Your interpetation "Sam's fun house" was hilarious though)
One the last one, in the tunnel, there was a sign that said "6" with an arrow one way, and 2 the other. That means there are 6 km of tunnel ahead, and 2 behind you. Info that might come in handy later.
It's really funny how things that seem like common knowledge to us about how each part of the country looks like or where cities are, becomes nothing to non-Norwegians.
I know, right? He has impressed me so much with the knowledge of where stuff is in Norway, especially the locations of different roads! Then when it comes to Stavanger, literally the 4th largest city, he just goes "where's Stavanger???"
As a Brit who lives in Norway and speaks Norwegian, I really love hearing you pronounce all the place names and sounds that I struggled with hahaha. Also really proud of myself for guessing the Stavanger one right away based off the street and the wall alone. The building to the right is the official residence of the King of Norway (for when he visits Stavanger) :))
@@iowkey_9339 You have kvadraturen in both Krisansand and Oslo, tho. Kristiansand also has both Rundingen and Trekanten, so I guess it's more about what you recognize.
He scrolled past where I lived when he was looking down the E39 so I've got that going for me. perhaps if he fail enough times he can visit all of our homes.
That last guess should definitely make a ow-noes-so-close! compilation! It seems that that road is one of the longest if not the longest of Norway. One you could just follow for days on a bike/motorcycle/cabrio/campervan/... lovely, putting Norway on my bucket list for sure!
I believe the E6 is longer actually - it goes through the *entire* length of Norway from north to south! But E39 (the road in the last round) goes through all of western Norway and crosses all the fjords, including a total of 9 ferry crossings :)
Well done! The first one was trivial, the rock quarry plus road junction to Skumsjøen was more than enough to solve it. Nr 2 was quite recognizable from the vegetation so I knew which general area you had ended up in. For nr 3 the street names are reused many places, but the combination indicated SV Norway, and finding those 3-4 street names made it certain. The real challenge would be to not move, just guess from turning around in the initial spot. :-)
What a great ending. Just ending up in the middle of an 8 km long tunnel. It's the 13th longest tunnel in Norway, but as you can see, Norway's got a lot of long tunnels including the world's longest. So I was laughing my arse off when I saw the 2|6 sign knowing you had to get within 20 meters! And then laughing even more when I saw it was the E39, one of the longest roads in Norway, going though the entire Western Norway(meaning it's full of long tunnels)! But really good effort on getting so close, impressive.
Yeah, Auran the place isn't on the map, but two people added themselves (or were added by someone else) as local businesses or features on Google maps - and they happen to have last name after the place. Maybe they have one-man companies of some sort, I don't know.
Your pronounciation is actually quite good for a foreigner who doesn't know the language. Love these videos, your finding these roads more easily than I would and I'm Norwegian!
It's funny how intuition works. I immediately had a feeling for all of these places, even though I didn't know exactly where they were. Even Stavanger, which is admittedly my hometown, just the first view by that stone wall gave me a feeling of "reminds me a lot of Eiganes, Stavanger." (Eiganes is that specific part of the city). The tunnel was a total curveball, but considering it was a long-a** tunnel and went really uphill at the end, I thought it had to be an undersea tunnel. And you can expect to find those in western Norway, where there are so many fjords to cross! The road E39 actually continues all the way through Stavanger and south to Kristiansand. Also, how could you not know where Stavanger is?? :'( It's literally the fourth largest city in Norway!
I instantly recognized the Bømlafjord tunnel from the 6 and 2 km sign in the tunnel. It was very frustrating to watch you look so far North for Sveio! But very good round!
Some tips for pronouncing Norwegian words: - Å: is pronounced 'Awe' - Ø: Is pronounced like the 'U' in "Curb" and "Curse" - Æ: Is pronounced like the 'A' in the American pronunciation of 'Ass' and 'Actually' This is pretty important since you can find names of places in Norway that look alike, but are in completely different sides of the country, like for example "Jaren" and "Jæren" or "Snåsa" and "Snasa". Furthermore the letter 'R' is almost always pronounced as a rolling R as in Spanish language. As in it's not close to silent like in the British language but rather pronounced firmly, idk if that made any bloody sense...
Hi Tom! I know that in the next time you try this, you'll get a perfect score, so my request is if you can try to do a Portugal's perfect score. It's a small country with very distinctive areas so it should not be that hard. Looking forward to this ideia! Take care of yourself mate!!!
Tips for norway: gate/vei/veg - street/road. Kommune - county. Fylke - region (contains several counties) Sjø/vann - lake Tunnels all have a name with sign posted a few hundred metres from either end Sams fun house - community center. 😛
THat first place is right near SKumsjøen. A small lake where I used to go swimming in the summer as a little child. Such an obscure location. I'm from Gjøvik.
lil pronounciation tip: Æ(æ) is pronounced like the A in "ass" (american accent), Ø(ø) is pronounced like the U in "ugly", and Å(å) is pronounced like the O in "on". A is prounounced like the A in "father", E is pronounced like the second E in "Electric". Hope this helps :)
The first vowel of "ugly" is not very similar to an ø at all. I'd say that's more a schwa, like the word final e in words like "jente", "mange", etc. The ø sound doesn't exist in English. "On" is pronounced with an a in AE, so the word "more" would be a better example to use. :)
Well, it happened! The fourth place is very close to where I grew up :D Been on bike rides down to the fjord there many times. You went past the house of my friend from Skatval also.
all those small things you tought was "no fishing" signes and stuff, that are all over the place tells you what road you are on, and how far you are on it.
From my experience playing since they are white, reflective and quite small the camera usually get's too much light and they become a white blurry mess
Lol! This started off like ~150 meters away from my brothers house and where I used to rent from him until february! If you had turned to the right when you clicked up beyond the two meeting crossroads at 1:12, you'd see straight down at his house. And at 2:35 you can see my dad's car hahahhaa!

I found this round of Norway quite funny as you were following a bus I relatively commonly use to get to my boyfriend's house in Stavanger. 😂 I was thinking quite quickly that 'this has to either be Oslo (where I live atm) or Stavanger (where I was born and raised) as I am sure I have been in these streets before🤔', hahaha. Enjoyed this! I felt I could join the guessing game at times and sort of figure out the area of the country along with you! 😊 Norway has quite a lot of land that one simply cannot live on or grow food in, and so I think you are doing a much better job than I would have as well as quicker, and that's coming from a certified born and raised Norwegian that has driven across quite a bit of the country, as well as had to study it's geography in school... 👍😬 This got quite long... sorry. I guess as most Norwegians I get excited whenever someone pays us even an ounce of attention, hihi. Anyways, this was fun, thanks 🎉☀️💜🇳🇴
Yesss! I'm from Stavanger too, and even though I don't know the area he was placed in very well, that stone wall and graveyard just gave me a feeling of Eiganes, even though it could have been any town in Norway for all I knew. Then the more he moved through the streets the more certain I felt! I also had a pretty accurate intuition about the other rounds as well, even if I don't know those specific places. And I agree with everything else you said! (sorry, I get excited too :P)

"Gate" is the Norwegian word for Street
Also, "gate" is used in cities or small villages. Longer stretches of road in the countryside, or roads like the E's are called "vei"

It's also the word for street in Scots as well.
There are streets in Scotland that still has "gate" in their names. Supposedly originating from the days of the vikings.

You chose wisely. There are quite a few big bodies of water in Norway!

Man, Norway is just sooo beautiful
One tip for you. Taxis in Norway usually tells where they are from
I found this round of Norway quite funny as you were following a bus I relatively commonly use to get to my boyfriend's house in Stavanger. 😂 I was thinking quite quickly that 'this has to either be Oslo (where I live atm) or Stavanger (where I was born and raised) as I am sure I have been in these streets before🤔', hahaha. Enjoyed this! I felt I could join the guessing game at times and sort of figure out the area of the country along with you! 😊 Norway has quite a lot of land that one simply cannot live on or grow food in, and so I think you are doing a much better job than I would have as well as quicker, and that's coming from a certified born and raised Norwegian that has driven across quite a bit of the country, as well as had to study it's geography in school... 👍😬 This got quite long... sorry. I guess as most Norwegians I get excited whenever someone pays us even an ounce of attention, hihi. Anyways, this was fun, thanks 🎉☀️💜🇳🇴
Yesss! I'm from Stavanger too, and even though I don't know the area he was placed in very well, that stone wall and graveyard just gave me a feeling of Eiganes, even though it could have been any town in Norway for all I knew. Then the more he moved through the streets the more certain I felt!
I also had a pretty accurate intuition about the other rounds as well, even if I don't know those specific places. And I agree with everything else you said! (sorry, I get excited too :P)
@@LinniC93 Helps that Alexander Kielland is a very big historic name in Stavanger.
I bought an Oculus Quest last week, it has first person Google Streetview, it's bonkers
Absolutely not complaining about a third venture into our lovely little country.
2:48 it is not a pointless cane. It is for the plow truck driver, to know the edge of the road.
