Canyonlands National Park – Groß, Weit, Einsam, SCHÖN !
Der Canyonlands National Park begeistert uns gleich zweimal - zum einen bei unserem ersten Besuch von The Needles im Südosten und zum zweiten einige Tage später Island in the Sky im Norden. Unmöglich zu sagen, -

Großartig! Sicher einer der Parks, die man besucht haben muss. Da beißt die Maus keinen Faden ab, Menschenmassen hin oder her. Mehr als 1500 beeindruckende rote Sandsteinbögen ragen aus der Wüstenebene im

Wunderbar schöne Begegnung mit anderen Weltenbummlern
Als wir mit strahlenden Gesichtern von der Wave-Lotterie zum Campground zurückkommen, steht neben uns ein VW T5 mit ebenfalls Deutschem Kennzeichen. Reinhard und Ingrid heißen unsere Nachbarn und Nein, die Beiden fahren

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.

Are you able to spot @juuuliiiiiiiia in here blue Kajak?
What a trip paddling through the archipelago north of Stockholm towards Ängsö National Park.
We were staying overnight on this beautiful island continuing to Ängsö early next morning and returned late in the evening. Both, the first and last hours of the day are probably the very best to kajak and explore the beauty of Swedens eastern coastline.

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.

A morning coffee is for sure one of the best things on a camping trip in general. But if you are able to sip it high above Preikestolen (Norway) while the first rays of the morning sun warming the scenery and your face - that's kind of unique.

Enjoying the very nice atmosphere of old town Danzig. There was a mix of street music, people, bars and street life while we were sitting in the windows of our Airbnb flat with a cold beer and one of the best views we’ve ever had. Perfect scenery. #2bfree #streetlife #danzig #gdansk #poland #city #architecture #oldhouses #timberframing
Top of Scandinavia, top of Norway.
Of course, many of my climbing or alpine friends do know most of the highest peaks of the central Europe countries, but pretty sure almost nobody knows the name of the highest peak of Norway and Scandinavia...
Galdhøppigen!
And as there are too many comfortable hikes from different huts to the 2469m summit available, we were looking for a real challenge to value the mountain in a special way.
We gave it a try by a little 'fair means' and skipped the huts at all. We started at 4:15am at the entrance of valley and cycled 18km and 700m elevation and took all the necessary gear (which isn't a lot to be honest) with us. We reached Spliterstulen hut at 6:00 and locked the bikes there. We hiked up via the Svellnose summit and Keilhaus Topp summit to the top.
We did well and reached Galdhøppigen after another 3,5 hours. Actually not all too bad for the ~1400m elevation gain, but more important was the fact, that the crowds were far behind us. So we had our peace to enjoy the beauty of this mountain just ourselves (okay, with two others but this is absolutely not much).
And when it started to become busy after a while we just moved to the southwest summit which is about 30m lower. Nobody will disturb there for hours as everyone is focused to the summit itself. Even if that means to share with hundreds of people. Strange...
At the end of the day we climbed 4 summits and made a 50km roundtrip with over 2000 meter elevation gain.
Chapeau!!!

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.
