The video first shows parts of the county of Telemark. Telemark is located in southeastern Norway, extending from Hardangervidda to the Skagerrak coast. Telemark has a very broken and heterogeneous landscape, including many hills and valleys. In this video we show you two of Norway's many stave churches, Eidsborg stave church and Heddal stave church. Eidsborg stave church.

Eidsborg Stave Church is one of the best preserved Norwegian stave churches. Eidsborg Stave Church is located next to the Vest-Telemark Museum in Eidsborg, near the municipality Tokke, near Dalen.

On the steep mountain over Dalen lies Rui, the cotter's farm where the tiny sisters Ingrine and Gurine lived. The became famous across the land as the Rui girls who came to the King (from Visit Telemark

In Dalen you also find the beautiful and luxurious hotel Dalen. Dalen Hotel is a historic hotel in Dalen in the municipality of Tokke in Telemark county, Norway. The luxury Dalen Hotel, once a popular locale for European royalty, is one of the largest wooden buildings in Norway and one of the best preserved hotels of its size from the 1800s.

The hotel is located in eastern Dalen on the shores of Bandak lake. The hotel owners operate a ferry service along the Telemark Canal, which during the warmer seasons has daily trips between Skien and Dalen on the historic passenger ships MS Henrik Ibsen and MS Victoria. The hotel can also be accessed by road on Fylkesvei 38 and 45, which extends down from E134 to the north. (Wikipedia:

Next, the video takes you to the county of Rogaland. Visit Stavanger city, or travel to Tau by ferry to the mountains to reach the Pulpit Rock. Access to Preikestolen from Stavanger is via the RV13 road and the ferry from Tau.

A round-trip hike to Preikestolen from the closest car park takes about 3–4 hours for someone of average fitness.

The walk to Preikestolen is very steep in places. The path starts at the Preikestolhytta, at an elevation of approximately 270 metres (886 feet) above sea level, and climbs to 604 metres (1982 feet). The hike takes 1–3 hours depending on experience and fitness level. Even though the elevation differential is only 334 metres (1096 feet) and the walk is not particularly long (3.8 km each way), the total elevation gain and loss over the course of the hike is more than one might initially expect, as the path climbs and descends various ridges (Wikipedia:

Rogaland 2012: Passing through Drangedal

I'm *finally* getting around to uploading my videos from my summer vacation - last year! :-o I can't believe I'm this far behind. :-( Better late than never?

My first trip last summer was to Rogaland, a county in the west country here in Norway, to visit a friend who's moved there. The first day was spent on traveling as I took the train there, which takes about 8 hours. I went CRAZY with my camera on the trip so there are way way too many videos from that first day, but I'm not sure how interesting they are. :-)

I got on the train in Drammen after taking the bus there, and we headed off westwards. This video shows a little bit of Drangedal municipality in Telemark county.
