LOFOTEN, Solo Camping & Backpacking Arctic Norway, Climbing one of most unique views in the World

Lofoten, Tent Camping & Backpacking the Arctic North, part1. The most beautiful hike in the world some people call this, it is at least one of most unique views in the World.
I arrived via‪@hurtigruten‬ in Svolvær, Lofoten a couple of days before my trip. The goal of my 3 day backpacking trip was to climb Hermannsdalstinden Pinnacle, the highest mountain in the southern part of Lofoten, in good weather so could can see the views. The night of the start it was rainy and foggy, but as the summit day arrives the weather was amazing! This is absolutely the best views I have ever experienced. I was very happy to spend time with the very nice Frauki / frauki and Hannes Becker / hannes_becker and have their company on the return journey, where we took the boat back to Reine. Quite a spectacular trip, and I am so happy I found a good weather break to revisit Hermannsdalstinden. I climbed it last summer, but in clouds, so I didnt see any views last year. This year it was perfect. Enjoy the views!

Thank you so much:-)

Fin tur 👍

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Jepp, våt sti men helt Perfekt ellers

[@hikesome]

Beautiful! Looks incredible up there Every shot is a postcard motive ;) Congrats on summiting, I guess we will see you climbing the last 20 meters in part2 - looking forward to that one ;) Great video as always!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

I will definetively get ti the summit and make some coffee in part 2, and show you the full views

[@bbooooppss]

utrolig vakkers - jeg har sett ingenting sånn det før, det ser lik en fantasi-verde ut. Hvor vanskelig var vandringen? Hvor langt mellom campingplasser?

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Takk, det finns ingen campingplasser, så du må lete. Ikke vanskelig men veldig mye gjørme, ubehagelig å vandre her når det er vått, noe det alltid er stort sett

[@DianneLiebenthal]

Hi. It seems to me that you have the eye of an artist. Have you ever pursued art?

[@deekelley891]

Thank you for taking us along to this stunning place. I am impressed by your bravery and determination to summit-especially on such narrow and steep terrain.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you!

This is a beautiful video... thumbs up ! subbed and liked .... a fellow creator.,

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks and welcome!

[@andrea6421]

I’m trying not to comment to much on all these old videos I’m watching but WOW! The view from that mountain and what it took for you to get all that video footage… you are very appreciated 😊

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Glad you like them! Every comment is a great help!

[@beedumpling3820]

Oh my goodness, just breathtaking. I'm so glad the weather gave leave for you to make this hike with cloudless views. Wow...and Jarl...you stopped us literally on a cliffhanger for part 2! 😂But I am so looking forward to the top! :) ♥

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Haha! I had to break it up, part 2 is just to awesome😂

[@tomerdtsieck7913]

How do you know where the trail is?

[@azclaimjumper]

Thank you for letting the scenic beauty speak for itself. No need for music & you include just enough dialog. I didn't blink because I didn't want to miss a second of this video. Warm Regards fro Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelscott1778]

tired of the young American's doing fast cuts doing camera reviews "Dude this is awesome norway and iceland is so cool !". yes this video goes slow but i got a much better idea of what to expect when I go. yes i'm an American.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Slow is good, thanks Michael!

[@tongptify]

Wow. I can't wait for your party two already! Very well done! Do be careful with the height while filming though.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

I am always careful:-)

Wow ! It`s beautiful

8 days ago, we were at the exact same place and we also went to the summit, on the summit is was very windy but the view was incredible.

[@martinforrester8249]

Great video Jarl, so relaxing watching you expel some energy. I note your tent is a Marmot. So much easier to erect than the ones I have. How do you rate it for winter use when rain is persistent? I'm thinking of getting a new one, hence the enquiry.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you, not a winter tent:-)

[@silentlividity923]

Hi Jarl (smiles & hug) Lofoten is so very beautiful. This is the second time that I've watched this video. Just cannot get over how amazingly A W E S O M E this place is. So? So, I hadn't planned on talking with U this time, but, there was a moment during your climb ('approximately 23:36 & a little thereafter) that I became concerned 4 your "climbing". I know you probably know this already >>>> Keep 3 Points Always touching While Climbing

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Hehe, thanks, there are no technical climbing on this route so the 3 point rule is not necessary, it might look a bit more dangerous than it is:-)

[@silentlividity923]

@@NorwegianXplorer Hey Jarl (smile) I figured U knew about that 3 point thing. Just making sure is all (wink). You do know that I am OLDER than you...right? Un...huh. Turned 67 last July. So? So, I am allowed to talk to you like your Mother (BIGGEST smile).

Another great video Jarl! I really appreciate your "backpacking view" of Lofoten, it gives a wilder perspective of its spectacular beauty. Like many others I would love to go backpacking there some day. For now I am glad I can watch your beautiful videos. Keep them coming and have fun out there!

Kult, ja, jeg såg din film før denne turen:-)

[@calilenz3476]

Jarl, amazing how you are able to hold your camera, film fantastic shots -- ALL while navigating those cliffs and rocks. It's like you magically/naturally glide over the edges without looking. The shadow and light at 12:21 and aliveness of those seconds you captured is really awesome. Never imagined a more beautiful place than Lofoten. Looking forward to seeing part 2 ~~ beautiful & thank you for being where you are suppose to be and ... for taking us along. 😊
