While I was searching for information, my fellow mechanic teammate greeted me and invited me to join him on a road trip to XXX (I couldn't quite catch the name of the place at the time), a popular tourist destination about 100 kilometers away.
The tiger quickly responded to his teammate without hesitation, even though he didn't know where they were going. (He thought to himself, "This is perfect! We were looking for a place to go, and now you're inviting us. How could I refuse?" 556)
After completing our late-night mission, we returned to our hotel to shower, brush our teeth, and then went down to enjoy the breakfast provided by the hotel. After finishing our breakfast, the four of us immediately set off in a private car belonging to one of the team members.
- Intentionally falling asleep... but unable to close my eyes
As my stomach was full, my eyelids began to droop, and I intended to take a nap on the bus to regain some energy. Initially, this was the case. My eyes began to squint and threaten to close as they encountered the sunlight.
Shortly after leaving the city, my weary body and blurry vision came alive as if I had taken a good dose of medicine. The absence of scenery on both sides of the road, with a landscape of hills and valleys on the left and a stream and lake on the right, was so rich in natural beauty that it was hard to close my eyes. On this trip, my local teammate went all out, driving us around to see 3-4 major landmarks, each of which was as beautiful and unique as the others. I managed to capture some photos to share with you (taken with a mobile phone, so please forgive me if the quality isn't great).
The first stop is Trollveggen, or Troll Wall, a towering rock face and mountain that stands nearly three times taller than the Eiffel Tower in France. This site is a popular destination for base jumpers, an extreme sport.
The drive to Troll Wall requires crossing a bridge over the lake, ...., which is a breathtaking sight in the summer mornings. (Summer here is cooler than winter in our country.)
The landscape on both sides of the road before reaching Troll Wall is breathtaking.
We have arrived at the scenic viewpoint and tourist information center. This area is popular among tourists for camping and enjoying the natural surroundings.

Basic information for tourists ... which will show that the high cliffs in this area are almost three times higher than the Eiffel Tower in France. And it is widely popular among Base Jumping (Extreme sport) enthusiasts.
To serve as a reminder of the time spent breathing the pure, fresh air here.
After completing the first stop, we traveled to the second location, approximately 19 kilometers away, called Trollstigen.
"The Trollstigen is said to be one of the 18 scenic routes in Norway designed to impress and fulfill the dreams of nature-loving travelers....
Trollstigen is a narrow, winding road that cuts through the high mountains. It starts at the foot of the mountain and gradually increases in steepness by 10%. Looking back at the road you have just passed can give even the most experienced driver a thrill. But the reward for the courage and effort of those who persevere to reach the summit is more than worth it. The scenery along the way is so breathtaking that it makes you wonder if you are driving on a road on Earth or in heaven.

Drive through the valley to reach Trolltunga.
Upon arriving at Trollstigen... the right side of the image shows the parking lot, shops, and souvenir stores, while the front is the viewpoint, the point from which we will walk back to see the path we just drove through.
The road we drove up gradually increased in elevation by 10% per level. The white stream seen in the distance is jokingly referred to by my Norwegian friend as "troll pee," a reference to the troll after which this location is named. (If you're curious about trolls and their connection to Norway and Scandinavia, you can search for them on Google.)

Upon arrival, I captured the moment as a keepsake.
Three Norwegians and one Karen.
Before leaving, we stopped by the souvenir shop, which mainly sold troll-related T-shirts, postcards, and reindeer leather goods. However, the prices were quite high, so we just looked around and took a picture with the troll statue as a souvenir.
After immersing ourselves in the breathtaking nature of Trolltunga, we continued our journey to Geirangerfjord, a true gem of Norway.
Arguably one of Norway's most stunning fjords.... (Additional information about the fjord)
=> Norwegian Fjords )
To reach the fjord, we must take a car ferry across the Valldalen River, which is currently awaiting the arrival of the ferry at the dock.
After crossing the river on a raft, we continued driving for about half an hour, passing through scenic hills and valleys.
After driving for about thirty minutes, we arrived at a rest stop with signs and a distant view of the fjord.
We are almost there! The coastline in the distance is our destination.
Arriving at the viewpoint... This is a panoramic view taken from the viewpoint, which offers a view of the crystal-clear water and allows you to experience the fresh, clean air.
While the scenic viewpoint offers breathtaking views, a true immersion into the heart of the destination lies beyond. Venturing down to the water's edge reveals a haven for weary travelers, boasting an array of clubs, bars, restaurants, and hotels catering to every desire.
Upon arrival, they captured the moment with a commemorative photograph, as per usual protocol.
Traditional wooden houses of the local people, which have a classic charm, with some houses even featuring grass or plants growing on their roofs, adding a unique touch.
The image below shows the route we took today in a nutshell.
The journey from Brattvag to Geirangerfjord takes approximately four hours one way, making for a round trip of 7-8 hours. This trip was truly unforgettable, offering not only the chance to witness the iconic landmark but also to immerse oneself in the breathtaking natural beauty and scenery along the way. It was an experience that will undoubtedly remain a cherished memory.
In closing, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my three Norwegian colleagues for their unwavering support and for providing me with this incredible opportunity. Their kindness and generosity have made this journey an unforgettable experience, etching it into my memory as one of the most cherished trips I have ever undertaken.
Geirangerfjord - A breathtaking gem of Norwegian tourism.
