For Lovatnet and Jostedalsbreen glacier I can say, yes, this place is why I came to Norway. It’s that beautiful.

Solo hiking, camping or backpacking in the fjords of Norway is worth your time, effort and hard-earned money. During the two days that I showed here through this cinematic hiking film, I visited the Lovatnet glacier lake, Breidalsvatnet and the Ramnefjellbreen glacier, an arm of the Jostedalsbreen glacier.

Glaciers are large bodies of ice that form over many years from the accumulation and compaction of snow. They are typically found in mountainous regions and polar areas. Norway, with its rugged terrain and numerous mountainous regions, is home to several glaciers.

Roads in Norway, especially in rural and mountainous areas, often provide access to stunning scenery, including fjords, mountains, and valleys. Traveling on these roads can be a rewarding experience for those looking to explore the natural beauty of the country.

If you are planning to travel on Skjåkvegen or explore the Skjåk region, it's advisable to check for updated local information, road conditions, and any travel restrictions that may be in place. Additionally, consider the time of year, as weather conditions can vary, especially in mountainous areas.

Lovatnet is a picturesque lake located in Sogn og Fjordane county in Norway. Surrounded by towering mountains and lush landscapes. Lovatnet is also known for being the site of the tragic Rockslide of 1905, where a massive landslide created a tsunami, resulting in the loss of human lives and significant property damage. Despite this historical event, Lovatnet continues to attract tourists and hikers from all over the world.

Hiking in the fjords of Norway is a breathtaking experience that allows you to explore some of the most stunning and dramatic landscapes on Earth. Norway's fjords are deep, narrow inlets of the sea, flanked by towering cliffs and steep mountains. Along your hiking routes, you may come across traditional Norwegian villages, charming farmsteads, and historical sites. These cultural encounters provide a deeper understanding of the local way of life and the history of the fjord communities.

If you need backpack camping tips or are wondering which norway hiking trails
are worth a visit put Lovatnet and Ramnefjellbreen glacier on your map. Norway travel would not be complete without these places.

Hiking solo or with friends in Norway provides an immersive experience in nature, offering a combination of physical activity, stunning scenery, and cultural exploration. It's an adventure that caters to a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts, from casual walkers to avid hikers.

“Heaven on earth” indeed. I scarce have words for the beauty you bring us! I had to watch through a few times to take it all in. Not to be dramatic (I can’t help myself sometimes:) - the first moment was heart stopping and brought me right in! Spectacular hike, spectacular footage! Thank you for braving all the elements to bring us this film! Epic and breathtaking editing! God bless you, Ervin!

Since following you I have learned that there are no limits to the beauty of the images you can share and that your trips are always organized to discover and experience places with great visual and emotional impact!! These Norwegian landscapes are unreal, wonderful beyond all imagination if you don't experience them on site with all of yourself! I think it was a difficult hike due to the cold and the long walk, but certainly an experience that will leave you with an indelible memory!! The final images are breathtaking, a postcard far from any reality!! Congratulations Ervin!! An excellent video!!🎥💯❄️🤍❤️❤️❤️👌
