Call Of The North EP 02 | Lofoten Islands - A hikers paradise!

One of the most beautiful places on earth - the Lofoten Islands. This episode takes us to our favorite place well above the Arctic Circle, to an unique archipelago with rugged mountains, stunning beaches, and crystal-clear lakes. We get lost in the surreal beauty of the midnight sun, hiking breathtaking summits and witnessing the most picturesque inversion and epic light situations!
On the next episode of our cinematic roadtrip diary we will continue our journey to the North towards Lapland, hike through Sarek Nationalpark in Sweden and see a first glimpse of autumn arriving to the Nordic Countries. Make sure to subscribe to follow along :)

This is not a TH-cam video. This is art in its purest form.

[@DanielErnst]

Thank you so much 🙏💙

[@MsShantha]

Absolutely❤❤❤

[@abeandmel]

🙌🏻 yes! So so stunning!!!
I grew up in Norway but never got to visit Lofoten

[@travelwithjj4387]

Definitely!!!!

[@RaquelViloria]

Totally agree! Stunning!!! 🥰😍🥰

[@studiobrar1692]

This is what I call content creation for the nature lovers and travel enthusiasts. So glad I have discovered your channel. Cheers and safe travels!

[@DanielErnst]

really happy to hear this 😊 Thank you so much!

[@lucavoros4789]

I don't understand why this video has only 100 000 views, should have like a few million!! Dont give up on making videos, I file like it will be rewarding cus you make such good content!! Sending love from Hungary :))))

[@DanielErnst]

Thanks so much, that’s so kind of you, really appreciate it 🙏💙

[@stavrosspanidis4614]

Amazing is not enough!
The photography, videography, music, narrative, all came in so beautifully togenther… Touching to watch
Congrats for this piece of art.

[@DanielErnst]

so happy to hear this, really appreciate it 💙

[@ricobenavides]

I've been to northern Norway a few times and I can confirm that you really managed to capture the beauty of the magical place of Lofoten through your excellent photo- and cinematography. Your video was truly a masterpiece and a joy to watch!

[@DanielErnst]

That makes me so happy to hear 💙😊 Thank you so much! Really appreciate it 🙏

[@sarahinscotland]

This is so good. I’ve watched the episodes twice and I can’t get enough of that beautiful light. You have a wonderful sense of storytelling and editing to create a magical experience for us

[@DanielErnst]

Thank you so much Sarah! 😊 I’m really happy to hear this 🤗

[@danerik82]

I'm blown away by the quality of the video and the cheer beauty of Lofoten. You beautifully captured your adventures and hikes - it was a pleasure to watch.

[@DanielErnst]

Thanks so much for the great feedback, so happy to hear this 😊🙏

[@MrDeymann]

@@DanielErnst Hi Daniel, I just found your channel today, and to say your videos are amazing, is an understatement….. I also have an R5 and considering getting the R5C too. A question about the R5, what are your go to settings you use most on it for the video? I also have a Mavic 3 Pro. I haven’t done much with my gear for quite awhile due to an injury, but I have just been inspired by your work to try and get back out there. Thanks…..

[@StuddMuffin99]

Fantastic video, Daniel! You make a true Lofoten viking proud 😁👌🏻

[@DanielErnst]

Happy to hear this 🙌😃 thank you!

[@myravanhoff1551]

watching these videos all afternoon with several rewinds to view more of the sceneries and listen to the music. beautiful videos!!! Each time I didn't want it to end. I see I am moving on to the 10th video. I will definitely watch all 10 again. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@DanielErnst]

thank you so so so much for the support 💙😊 really happy to hear this! Sendings hugs :)

[@ericbarker2490]

I have watched a lot of videos on the Lofoten Islands recently as planning a road trip next year from the UK. These two episodes were stunning and encapsulate the essence of North Norway in a way which makes me very impatient to start our journey. Daniel you should have 500k followers as your film making and story telling are on another level. I can't wait to see more of you all from the North wherever that may be.

[@DanielErnst]

Thank you so much Eric, really happy to hear this, means a lot to me! 🙏😊 hope you’ll enjoy your trip, see you up there 👋

[@iamnotkurtcobain]

Unglaubliche Eindrücke! Wunderschön.

[@DanielErnst]

vielen Dank dir 🙏 freut uns sehr!

[@bbabul01]

Your pup just wanting to nap in some of the most beautiful places on earth is a vibe I can relate with

[@DanielErnst]

haha he's living life!

[@mecker]

This Video is just surreal! Out of an other world.... ❤❤❤❤

[@DanielErnst]

thank you so much 💙😊

[@vitamutiarawati8948]

FANTASTICO

[@DanielErnst]

Thank you 😊

[@ldosucowboy3279]

Whoa, what stunning beauty. I close my eyes and try to imagine this amazing lifestyle. It must be so healthy and uplifting. There is so much natural beauty in America, but this part of Norway is something else altogether. Many Norwegians settled in the area of Wisconsin where I am from. I wonder why they left such an awesome place.😊🇺🇸

[@DanielErnst]

thank you so much 💙 I really wonder that as well 😃 but I'm sure Wisconsin also has some beautiful parts, sadly I have never been there but maybe I will get the chance to travel the US one day 😊 Wishing you all the best for 2024!

[@LocalLiife]

This video is beyond incredible!
All the amazing pictures, perfectly composed shots, the beautiful nature, the lightning, it all makes this something different.
It's by far the best roadtrip/hiking video I've ever seen on TH-cam and I can't wait for my planned trip this coming summer!
Keep doing what you're doing!

[@DanielErnst]

That’s the best thing to hear, much appreciated! Thank you 🙏😊

[@carlomerazaudiovisuales]

My god my fried spirituality grows people and art together thank you

[@rikki7866]

Fantastische Bilder, man hört förmlich die Ruhe, die um euch herum ist. Ein Gefühl von Freiheit und pure Lebensfreude. Genießt es in vollen Zügen und mit allen Sinnen.

[@DanielErnst]

Sowas würde ich mir gerne im Kino ansehen 👏🏼

[@DanielErnst]

[@roblee635]

All of your work is simply life itself. Uplifting and inspirational throughout, you capture every moment perfectly. Lofoten is our next year's bucket list entry, with Laugavegur Iceland this year to enjoy first. We personally have a handful of very useful years to 'tick off' the big stuff, and your stories will be our motivation, thank you.

[@DanielErnst]

We're so happy to hear this Rob, thank you so much! 💙 Lofoten is worth a visit, I think you will love it here 😊 Enjoy hiking the Laugavegur, this one is high on our list as well, hope we'll be able to do this one day 🙏

[@niKLasVdv]

Beautiful filmwork & fantastic landscapes! Can't say anthing other than respect! 💪🔥

[@anujithpv7447]

It's not just a video. its an experience.....Loved it bro

[@DanielErnst]

happy to hear that! Thank you so much 💙

[@bandwagonbull]

Just accidentally stumbled across this video this evening and man, why have I not found your channel sooner. This is honestly beyond words - yes the location and light are absolutely beautiful, but very few people could capture it and portray it in the way you have. You have a very special talent and I'm looking forward to watching more of your content, so please please keep doing what your doing!!

[@DanielErnst]

Thanks again Alex, really happy to hear this, means a lot to me! 💙

[@LucasTJahn]

Simply wonderful. This makes me realize how we only scratched the surface of Lofoten and Norway on our own trip. Investing the time to stay in one place for so long really paid off for you. You experienced and captured some incredible scenes 🤯 Looking forward to the next video in this series, especially once you get to edit the winter episode!

[@DanielErnst]

thanks so much Lucas 🙏 😊 I really enjoyed the slow travel this time - it opens up so many possibilities that you don't have, when you're just passing by a place!
I also can't wait to edit the winter episode! 🥶

[@SimonBraeck]

You guys outdid yourself on this one! Love it🙌🏼
Summer can't come quickly enough now.

[@DanielErnst]

Thanks so much 💙😊 we’re looking so much forward to it!

[@dronekingsjourney5054]
