Travel: Hiking Besseggen Ridge In Southern Norway

The Besseggen mountain ridge is forged by Thor, and one of the most known places in “The Home of the Giants” and Jotunheimen National Park. The unique aspects of this hike is the view across the ridge. The spectacular view is made from the two lakes the Gjende lake with the distinct green color, one the one side of the ridge and 400 meter above on the other side we find Bessvatnet with its blue color typical of other lakes.

The colors from Gjende is a result from glacier runoff containing clay and rock flour. Looking down towards Memurubu one can see the nearby river Muru coloring the water with a light colored runoff.

Scandinavia Walks: The Baltic Sea Summerhouse

Stockholm Walks Films (August 9, 2023) – A summer walk by a cottage on the Baltic Sea. Many Swedes have summer homes, and actually prefer them to be rather old fashioned without modern comfort.
