Norway roadtrip
2 weeks of adventure in a campervan or in a tent, stunning nature, challenging hikes and scenic routes.
General recommendations:
Be prepared for changing weather conditions by packing layers, waterproof clothing, and sturdy footwear.
To pass the Norway’s toll roads, either apply for a toll tag via Autopass service (if you plan to stay longer) or register your vehicle on Epass24 to pay for invoices (usually with few weeks delay).
You won’t really need a cash as we paid by card everywhere.
Scenic drive from Larvik to Lysebotn
This drive takes you through some of Norway's most beautiful mountain landscapes. Expect stunning views, waterfalls, and traditional Norwegian villages along the way. Stop anytime you want and savor the moment. There are many stops and simple viewpoints along the route. Just so you know, you may not have a network connection at all, so you should download the offline maps or have a printed copy just to be sure. Kjeragbolten hike
The Kjeragbolten hike is a 12-kilometer out-and-back trail with a challenging 780-meter elevation gain. Start the hike from the Øygardstøl parking lot (300 NOK, ~25€). The trail is steep, with some sections requiring a bit of scrambling and constantly stunning views of the Lysefjorden. Kjerag as a mountain is not the main highlight of the hike, but Kjeragbolten, a boulder wedged between two cliffs, is the main attraction and is located a bit further along the trail. Many people climb the rock to take a picture, but it's not for faint-hearted. Be careful and enjoy! And if you visit in summer, don't be afraid to do this hike in the afternoon when sun is not that strong and trail is also less crowded. With the sunset around 10pm, you can enjoy the hike and still come back with the need of headlamp.Kjerag-Lysebotn Camping
Located near the end of the famous Lysevegen road, this campsite offers stunning views of the Lysefjord. Facilities include showers, toilets, and a kitchen for approx. 385 NOK (~32€) per night. The drive to the campsite is an adventure in itself, with several sharp hairpin turns and a tunnel.
