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?
Im so happy you guys have FINALLY started your TH-cam journey. You guys are so awesome and Im so excited to continue to follow your adventures! Ps. Please give us more cinnamon roll reviews
Mad to not know this, Collin is. Before we travel, look up Star Wars facts we will. 🤓 Thanks for sharing, that's a great fun fact!! 😊 So glad you liked the video!
@@collinandmeredith Awesome! 🥰 I forgot to mention...... when hiking, Norwegians always say hi or talk to hikers they meet 😊 That's why people were talking to you in Norwegian 🥰 I'm looking forward to watching more "travelling videos" with you guys ❤ And yeah..... we bring chocolate on our hikes 😂😂 Kvikk Lunsj is the most popular chocolate 🍫 to bring on hikes..... 😍🥰
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!
I’m not sure how or where you learned about DNT and the concept of hut-to-hut hiking, but this is meant to be a secret. It’s the crème de la crème of experiencing Norwegian nature. You’re welcome to participate now that you know, but please keep it to yourself. Don't tell where you are - to anybody.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. With the trail being developed with the intent to encourage tourism, we had no idea it was such a secret. It’s undoubtedly a special experience, and one that should be cherished. We hope you enjoy your time hiking out there!
The norwegian "Allemannsrett" you are talking about...the right to "freely roam the land" , has a few limitations. You are not allowed to, withour permission, enter someones garden, land that is farmed for crops (pastures are OK, as long as there are no animals there) or any military, government or business areas clearly marked "no entry". When camping on someones land you are expected to stay out of sight, and not be heard. Other that that, you can go anywhereyou want to.
Thanks for the extra clarifying! Its so crazy to us as Americans that you have the right to "freely roam the land" - and the limitations you have make so much sense. I wish we did the same.
Wearing shoes like that are not only very dumb, its insanely dumb😂many paths in the mountains in norway are dangerous, one slip and you can die. wearing proper shoes is not only a must because you need the layer between your feet and mud/stones, but also because you dont want to be that American that fell to their death because of flipflops😂 you would be remembered tho, thats forsure. awesome video apart from that, love your adventures in our country.
Thanks for watching our video!! We absolutely love your country and can't get enough of it! The shoes we're wearing are called bedrocks and are designed in Montana by a geologist for mountain running and hiking. We've been hiking around the world in them for years and love them. There were certainly sections of heavy mud/cold on this trail that wasn't great for them (hence me mere wearing boots lol) but Collin wore them the whole time. I know they look like flip flops but I promise they hold up so well and I feel way more secure in them than boots 😂 but they definitely turn some heads haha.
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.
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! Thanks for the insights!! ❤️
@@collinandmeredith We, the people from Voss, do however claim we've the best supply of tap water in the country so that's something we like to point out. But since you've been traumatized by our gas station toilet doors, I can understand you might not want to test the validity of that claim.
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....
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. 😁
I AM BLOWN AWAY. I LOVED WATCHING YOU BOTH ENJOY THE COUNTRY, EACH OTHER AND WATCHING YOU BOTH IN YOUR RECENT ADVENTURE.
Suzanne, thank you so much for the support! We hope you enjoyed it. More entertaining stories to come. 😁
I’m cackling at “she’s getting cranky…. Hope we get there soon for both of our sakes, but mostly mine”. Awesome video!!!
Hahaha it was getting tough out of here 😂
So good, can’t wait to see more!
Thanks Dusty!!
Fantastic work guys, such a great storytelling! 👏👏 Flawless cinematic work!
Thank you so much!! We've got a lot to learn, but we're enjoying the process 😀
This was so fun to watch! Looked absolutely incredible.
Thanks for watching friend 😁
Thank you very much. I grew up in Vassbygdi. I lived there in the 70s and 80s. Have done that trip a few times, but it was many years ago.

Best news ever!!!!
Loved your vlog - very well done for a first time. Both my parents were from Norway. I visited once and would love to go back.
Aww thanks so much! My great grandma is from Norway too and I've always wanted to see where she grew up. You should definitely go back sometime ☺️
Great video! Looked like and amazing trip. Can't wait to see your next one!
Thank you! Yes see you in Switzerland 😜
Since you like fun-facts: Finse is where they filmed the ice-planet scenes in Star Wars episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. Nice video! 🤓
Mad to not know this, Collin is. Before we travel, look up Star Wars facts we will. 🤓

Great video! :)
Tusen takk! ❤️
Finally. Beautiful💐
Thank you ❤️
Nice journey.
It was a really great experience!!
@@collinandmeredithlots more to discover in Norway.
Beautiful!
Thanks for watching Kim ❤️❤️
Was mountain-hiking in the 70ies in my Norway...
I bet that was magical!
@@collinandmeredith sore feet!
The Voss water is not from Voss. It's from Iveland in Agder County. Far from the place Voss. 😊
Iveland is in Southern Norway.
They tricked us 😂 thanks for the info!!
@collinandmeredith
LOL 😂😂
I loved watching your video ❤
Hope you'll come back to Norway. 😃
aww thank you so much!! We are hoping to visit again this year, fingers crossed! :) @@nissenusset4134

Awesome! 🥰
I forgot to mention...... when hiking, Norwegians always say hi or talk to hikers they meet 😊
That's why people were talking to you in Norwegian 🥰

@@nissenusset4134 Aw thank you! You are so sweet. We will be hiking with Kvikk Lunsj next time we visit now
I love everything about this video!
How much does it cost to do the trip?
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!
It’s not that cheap considering the train but I’ve seen much worse, is Norway expensive overall?
I'd say so, the DNT is probably a cheaper way to visit though!

Hahaha thank you 🤣😜 have to help him get over his fear somehow!
You definitely look like Norwegians. At least until you spot the sandals. Yikes! Stay safe :D

Fun fact: Voss water is NOT from Voss, and has nothing to do with Voss. Just clever marketing. 😊
🤯 wow! I just looked it up to confirm, you're right! Even our Norwegian friends thought it came from Voss. It turns out it's over 250 miles away!
@@collinandmeredith strange🤨😄 I thought that was common knowlege here in Norway.
We will spread the word 😂
@@collinandmeredith We, the people from Voss, do however claim we've the best supply of tap water in the country so that's something we like to point out. But since you've been traumatized by our gas station toilet doors, I can understand you might not want to test the validity of that claim.
@@Reanicus hahaha I am laughing so hard at the "traumatized by bathroom doors". It's true 😂🥺. I have to say Norway is the best water we've ever had!!

Nice video but,,,,,,,nope, you would not find any norwegian walking in the mountains in SANDALS or FLIP FLOPS 🤣
Hahah thank you! ❤️ No I don't think you will...we might be the only ones 😂
