Troll country

Posted on August 12th, 2014

If you drove the Trollstigen in Norway slowly upwards, no it’s not possible to drive at normal speed, there are too many busses and flatlanders on the street, then you soon reach a highland. In this mountain part you can still find some snow pieces in the middle of the summer.
Therefore we come from the Trollstigen, I guess we are now in the heart of the troll country. Unfortunately I could not catch any trolls, although I used tripwires and photo traps. So we have to be content with the awesome landscape, which Norway can offer us.

Trollstigen again

Yesterday I showed you an image about the sightseeing stage. In fact the Trollstigen is not the metal stage but the way up to this awesome view over the valley.
But if the racer in you is activated by this view, be warned, you can forget it! Either there is a bus blocking the street or more worse there is a car driver from a flat country without any experience on a pass.
So happend to me, after I left a hairpin curve, he comes slowly upwards toward me and stopped in the middle of the road. Yes he stopped and waited, because he was afraid of the curve. On a street as wide enough were two busses can crossing, this guy needed the whole street and was blocked by Fear! (hehe). I had no chance and I had to drive backwards through the curve again.
And the moral of the story, forget to enjoy this wonderful pass road, there is always a handicap on the road!

Trollstigen

Yes, this is it, the trollstigen in Norway. And if this is the trollstigen, who are the people on it? Camouflaged trolls or only tourists? But if these are all only tourists, why do they call it trollstigen and not touriststigen? Questions over questions and only the trolls knows the answers.
