[@davidgutesleben1266]

You have fun and that is the most importent thing. Beautyful pictures from Norway.😀👍🏼

[@pyronitro]

Spectacular views as usual!

[@douglasoster7102]

That was a nice moment when you rang the bell. I think it added something extra to your great videos.

[@Knighthawk92]

The Joy and Peace you radiate in this series is amazing and an Honor to watch/be a part of. The scenery continues to AMAZE me as well. Thank you so much for filming and sharing your experience. This is edging out the Camino Santiago if/when I want to do another pilgrimage trip in the summer. Buen Camino. 😃

[@NadineWalks]

Oh thank you so much, this was such a nice comment. I have to say, this was an outstanding pilgrimage and experience! After I finish posting all the daily videos, I plan to make a separate video going over info for the walk, FAQ's, things to consider, etc. But I would definitely think about it for a future walk, especially if it is appealing to you from these videos!

[@dathang]

Once again, the views are stunning but your look of exhilaration and triumph of successfully traversing the waterfall was more so. Ooh... a cluster of sticks! Cheers and adventure on!

[@NadineWalks]

Probably the most exhilarating part of my entire walk!! My heart was pounding, but in a good way :) (I knew you'd appreciate that shot of the walking sticks!)

[@dathang]

@@NadineWalks Thanks for indulging the weirdo stick guy! lol!

[@AidaJof]

A beautiful walk, Nadine and you captured the magnificient landscape beautifully. The cabins and churches are so inviting & cozy❤ Thank you, Nadine🙏

[@NadineWalks]

I agree, every church and cabin and accommodation is just lovely! Definitely a highlight of this journey :) Thank you, as always, for being here and watching/commenting, etc!

[@FionaJeffcoat-mt3xo]

Love Love Love watching this! Your face and expression at the end are pure joy! I recently walked the Camino del Norte and feel the exhilaration watching your videos, thank you for sharing the sense of joy and freedom ❤

While in the mountains we saw 2 Musk oxen. I was hoping you would too!

[@NadineWalks]

I looked everywhere for them! No one in my stages saw any- maybe there are too many people here now? Or maybe I just didn't get lucky!

[@jonnor6883]

That was more like mountain hiking here in Norway. Not everywhere you will find bridges to cross a stream, or a bordwalk to cross bogs/marshes. We prefere to keep the nature natural, but have builded paths in recent years so that the nature don't take damage. Also why you see very few fences in dangerous spots

[@nahcusiruk]

2:24 wow 👍🏽❤️

[@larserikertzgaardringen7426]

This potion of the walk contains a famous trail called the Spring trail, which is a part of the old Kings road that runs steep up on the side of the sharp valley, instead of following the river towards Oppdal. It was used during springtime when flods made it hard to use the normal road. This is the Norwegian Wikipedia article on it. no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vårstigen

[@NadineWalks]

Thank you so much for this info, I'm going to go and read more on this right now!
