... And just to fall in with the door in the house, that is related both to the considerable abandonment and the unimaginable enjoyment! The day started drizzly, does not matter, because the road along the Lustrafjord is amazing, steel blue water, rugged mountains and empty roads with the occasional bend through. Beyond the Lustrafjord on the RV 55 begins an accumulation of hairpin bends where you spontaneously get drunk, drunk with happiness and without a hangover! The RV 55 meanders along the highest mountains in Norway with tops of 2500 meters. If you want to reach the roof of the Scandinavian road network, you have to take the exit to the Juvashytta at Galdesand. A dirt road meanders here to a height of 1850 meters. Unfortunately, I have not driven this road myself, another good reason to return!
While climbing the first hairpin bends, it became increasingly foggy, at one point I did not have more than 10 meters of visibility. The advantage was that I had this road almost entirely for myself. The RV 55 is perhaps the most beautiful road in Norway, and therefore automatically one of the most beautiful roads in Europe, it can be busy in high season. But in September and with this weather I may have seen 10 cars, a touring bus, a camper and 3 motorcyclists. Because of the fog I had to miss the view, which seems to be unreal beautiful. At 1400 meters altitude the temperature was around freezing, but due to a strong wind and icy rain it seemed arctic conditions. Being able to forgo so close and enjoy so being together! That is also, in my opinion, one of the great charms of traveling with the motor.
Around noon it started slowly to clear up, the abandonment became less and the big enjoyment got more and more space. In the town of Lom you turn left onto the RV 15 and although the RV 55 has the name to be one of the most beautiful roads in Norway, the RV 15 is not to be ignored. You drive for a long time along the Vista river to the intersection with the RV 63, you think you have seen a lot of beautiful things, the RV 63 takes it a step further! It starts quietly, but after an hour of sending there is a series of tight hairpin turns that you steeply hit back! Figuratively, of course, because we want to keep both wheels on the ground. After the hairpin bends again a beautiful piece of plateau comes and just before Geiranger you descend with tig hairpin bends to the Geiranger fjord. This fjord seems to be the most beautiful and most visited fjord in Norway, the best I can confirm, the most visited was as far as I am concerned, it was still very quiet on the road. If you have the time, book a hotel here, even in a country with so much natural beauty, the Geirangerfjord will stand out from above.
After the Geiranger fjord it is climbing again, and not too much! One hairpin bend is even tighter than the other, here I came across a tour bus and in the bend I really had to stop and move aside, because the tour bus needed the whole way to make the turn. At the top you come again, I decay in repetitions, on an unreal beautiful stretch of plateau. On the way you pass another foothill of the Geiranger fjord and you drive along the Valldøla river, I do not know how to put it, but I still remember how I felt: euphoric! Especially the last piece for Trollstigen is indescribably beautiful, but it has to be said, everything was with me. The weather was fantastic, a sun and between 10 and 16 degrees depending on how high, the roads were so empty that it looked like they had been dropped off especially for me. And then Trollstigen, a 20 km long wet dream for every motorcyclist. On top of the top is a viewing platform called Trollstigheim, from which there is a nice view of the road and the waterfalls such as Stigfossen. Trollstigen is closed during the winter months. Even in the spring (May-June) the road to the Trollstigen is sometimes closed for a few hours in the morning due to night frost.
I thought for a moment that even now the pass was closed, it was quiet, but I was passed by a roaring BMW and so the gas and the chase could be used. But soon I let go of the gas again to enjoy the fabulous view, I had to pinch myself to believe that this was real or a wet dream. During the descent you are musically accompanied by the thundering roar of the Stigfossen waterfall. The 11 hairpin bends are so tight that I needed a lot of top-heavy Africa Twin to get through it all. Certainly to know that coaches here a few times have to cross the bend to come, fortunately I came and say but 2 motorbikes, one camper and one van with German soldiers in that 20 km long descent. The German soldiers stopped in the same place as me, oh dear, I thought, if only that goes well, but they were very friendly and even offered to take pictures of me with my motorcycle! At the bottom of the motor you have to step down to keep the euphoric feeling a bit longer. Have the time, then turn around and take the 11 hairpin turns again from the bottom up and up again from top to bottom!
After Trollstigen you might think, what a deception, but nothing is less true. The first part on the E 136 and E 6 is indeed less spectacular, but turn right to the RV 29 and later the RV 27 you still get an unexpectedly beautiful piece of road for you. Say the dessert with whipped cream with all the trimmings of this day. If you arrive at the end of 13 hours of ultimate happiness, the abandonment at the beginning has already been forgotten, at your destination with a view of the Gudbrandsdalslågen Fjord, you can only stamina surprised and overwhelmed: "this was a day to remember "...

Trollstigen
This is one of the most beautiful routes you can drive in Europe. I drove it as part of a 7 day Scandinavian trip, much too short ... Advice is not to drive this route in one day, but in 2 days.

The Top 5 Car and Motorcycle Routes around the Norwegian Fjords
Norway, who doesn't want to go there by motorbike or by car (camper)? Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a country in Northern Europe. Norway is located on the western part of the Scandinavian Peninsula and borders Sweden, Finland and Russia.
Go to Norway, forget it! You don't go to Norway for a while, take at least 14 days to take in all the beauty of Norway. The 5 routes along Norway's most famous fjords can be the start of an unforgettable holiday. When it comes to natural beauty, Norway is certainly in the top ten of most desirable holiday countries. Fjords, snow-capped peaks, mirrored lakes: every square meter is a treat.
Some of the ANWB's Top 10 tips are included in these 5 routes, such as:
Preikestolen
Hint: Don't be afraid of heights when you visit Norway's most popular vantage point. Preikestolen is a super steep rock that towers 604 meters above the Lysefjord. In fact, you get two for the price of one, as the four-kilometer hike to the lookout is just as phenomenal. Preikestolen is even Norway's most popular hiking destination.
fjords
They are considered one of the world's most beautiful natural wonders: the imposing Norwegian fjords. Millions of years ago, they were eroded by huge masses of ice. It is an unforgettable experience to sail on a ship between the steep rock walls, but you can also admire the fjords from various vantage points. Spectacular include Geirangerfjord, Trollfjord, Sognefjord and Hardangerfjord. Certainly one of the most beautiful sights in Norway.
Trollstigen
The Trollstigen, also known as the Troll route, has what you would call the wow factor. On the 20 kilometer route you will experience no fewer than 11 hairpin bends; the average increase is 8 percent with a maximum of 10 percent. So a pill against motion sickness won't hurt… On the way it's a feast of waterfalls, steep mountain walls and fjords. Bonus: the beautiful view of the Geirangerfjord.
All routes in this collection have been checked and made equal for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation!

Top Car and Motorcycle tour through Sweden and Norway
Sweden and Norway are beautiful countries. You will find nice cities, but also impressive nature reserves. This versatility makes Sweden & Norway the perfect countries for an impressive motorcycle holiday.
In this collection 14 beautiful routes through Sweden & Norway.
Good preparation is half the battle, so read the tips below carefully.
1. Check the weather forecast. It can be very hot in Sweden & Norway, but it can also get very cold. Always check the weather forecast before you go, so that you can pack the right clothes.
2. Decide in advance which route or routes you want to follow. This way you don't drive around like a headless chicken and you can make the most of your days off in these beautiful countries.
3. Familiarize yourself with the traffic rules. In Sweden & Norway, in some situations, slightly different rules apply than in the Netherlands. By immersing yourself in the traffic rules, you prevent (unknowingly) committing a traffic violation and/or putting yourself in a dangerous situation.
It is also wise to book the accommodations in advance. It might be more fun to drive through these countries on spec, but you don't want to drive around endlessly to find a place to sleep. If you go to Sweden or Norway during the high season, the chance that you will have to look for a place to sleep is greatest. It is also possible to camp during your motorcycle trip, but find out in advance where this is and is not allowed. You are not allowed to pitch your tent everywhere.
As the largest country in Scandinavia, you can enjoy extensive tours in a unique environment. Forests, lakes, nature parks and agricultural areas largely determine the landscape, which also consists of flat areas and rolling hills. Around the Swedish-Norwegian border is the Scandinavian Highlands, where the mountains rise locally to 2100 meters.
Norway is known for its amazing natural beauty. Fjords that go into the country tens of kilometers deep, snow-covered plateaus, sharp mountain peaks and vast forests. In this sparsely populated country, most people live in the cities, of which the capital Oslo is the largest.
Tolls have to be paid on a large number of roads in Norway. If you approach a toll road, you can continue without stopping. With cameras above the road, the license plate of the vehicle is scanned, not the registration number of the trailer or caravan. It takes quite some time to process the photos.
The bill is then sent home within four to six months by Euro Parking Collection (EPC) in London.
Mandatory on the motorcycle: Safety vest - A motorcyclist must bring at least one safety vest. In the event of a breakdown or accident, the driver is obliged to wear a safety vest. The ANWB advises motorcyclists to also bring a safety vest for a possible passenger.
Advice: First aid kit, motorcyclists are advised to bring a first aid kit.
