Mesa Verde – Amerikas Kulturschätze aus der Vergangenheit
Keine 20 Autominuten östlich von Cortez befindet sich auf einem dicht bewaldeten Hochplateau einer der größten archäologischen Kulturschätze Nordamerikas. Die in teils ausgesetzten Felsnischen an den steilwandigen Abbruchkanten des Mesa (Hochplateau) geformten

Amazing!
Felt already good to cross the Atlantic Ocean Road near Kristiansund with the Truck, but cycling all the way and back right after sunrise was an great and lasting experience.

Worth it!
But you'll never know unless you try and find out.
This is why we often choose the more adventureous option to discover a famous destination like in this case the seven sisters in Norway / Geiranger Fjord. 99% of all visitors come via speedboat from Geiranger or just see the beauty of the fjord from the quite expensive ferry while crossing from Hellesylt to Geiranger.
And if there are paddlers, their preferred start is also Geiranger as it is just a 10km return trip from there.
Paddling all the way from Hellesylt and back makes it to an challenging 30km mini-adventure , facing headwinds and waves for almost half the distance.
But this allows us to time it in a way to reach the falls when most of the others have already left and the annoying sounds of the speedboats have faded away.
Very nice ambient then to enjoy - when the evening-sun diffracts on the steep cliffs of this amazing UNESCO world heritage site.

Nice bike and hike today. First the Trollstigen via bike and then further up hiking to the Trollveggen top. Amazing view into the legendary 1100m Trollwall. If you just compare numbers, the wall is, in terms of vertical dimensions, about 200m higher than El Capitan in Yosemite.
It's the tallest vertical rock face all over Europe and well worth a visit.
To climb it, is a total different story and besides the missing capabilities to climb it (the ridge overhangs the base about 50m at the steepest section), I (we) simply do not have the balls to even give it a try.
Does anybody know anyone who climbed it already and can share some information 1st hand?

Finlands high point! Success on the Mt. Haltitunturi (1324m).
The summit is not a technical challenge at all, but getting there and finding a way up through the granite desert and especially finding the high point (the legendary landmark 303B) it's a bit difficult, though.

I really love that feeling when climbing a super nice crag and having time to look around to enjoy the fantastic view and a beautiful landscape like here in Kvam/Norway. At these days the grade of the route is not important at all - it’s much more the magic moment which counts and remains in your memories.

Nice hike to the Kjeragbolten. We found and made use of a very little time window within the constant heavy rain forecast over the past days around Lysefjord area. Got soaken wet on the way back, but that was worth it...

The famous stavechurch in Heddal ist the biggest of its kind in Norway. The wodden construction is over 1000 years old and still about 1/3 of the tarred pine-tree beams are from this time. Just amazing to visit this place.

Actually, November is not as bad as most people are saying. It’s all about timing - being at the right place at the right time. Of course, not all days are like this, but who never tries, will never have a chance for such a jackpot experience.

Very nice hiking here in Tiveden National Park. Combined almost all hikes to fill the day and finally got lazy legs.
Highly recommendable, but start about 6 in the morning to get the best views and escape the growd.

There is quite a difference in terms of temperature between late summer days in Norway and central Europe. But luckily there is also quite a difference of beeing away from the crowds here.
