You've gained quite a bit of altitude there.😊 We decided not to go hiking after all.

So, today's bike tour began at the small, pretty Myrdal train station. The town itself seems to consist of only a few houses. Just beyond the platform, the Raddarvegen (Rural Road) to Flåm descended in sharp switchbacks. By now, I was thrilled that we had electric assistance with us for the return trip

First of all, we didn't do the entire route by e-bike!

Eidfjord isn't far from our hike today. The road tunnels, which "wind" down the mountain up to 360° (or up from another direction), were a highlight in themselves.

Our tour today took us to the impressive Vøringsfossen waterfall. Since experience has shown that there are a lot of visitors here, we set off early. By 9 a.m., the trail parking lot was occupied only by campers from the night before, who were using the good restroom facilities for morning hygiene

On the way from Vradal to Geilo, the trail practically took us past Gaustatoppen, the highest mountain in the Telemark region at 1,883 meters. After its military use ended in 1995, the antenna is now used for radio and mobile communications.
We parked our RV at the Stavsro hiking parking lot (200 NOK

We parked our car early in the morning right in front of the ferry (about 4-5 spaces) and took the ferry to Fjone around 9:30 a.m. – a small, comfortable boat 🛶
In summer, it runs from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., which gave us plenty of time to cycle to Fyresdal and back.
Our route consisted mostly of well-paved

I had actually written off the Lake Constance tour for this year due to bad weather forecasts, canceled my hotel, and was done with it. 🤦♂️
But last night, with Kachelmann weather, the rain around Lake Constance suddenly disappeared for today's Saturday. I thought about it for a moment and quickly strapped
