Knivskjellodden 🇳🇴

Knivskjellodden or Knivskjelodden is a peninsula located in Nordkapp Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. It is the northernmost point on the island of Magerøya in Northern Norway. It is sometimes considered the northernmost point of the entire continent of Europe. The nearby Kinnarodden on the Nordkinn Peninsula is the northernmost point on the mainland. The northernmost point of the country Norway is in fact Rossøya, in Svalbard, as far north as 80°N.

Knivskjellodden can only be reached on foot, after a 9 km/5.6 mi long hike from a parking area near the European route E69 highway (71.122°N 25.71°E), 6 km (3.7 mi) south of North Cape.

Travel agencies that organize trips for unaware tourists often advertise the North Cape as the northern extremity of Europe, but this is not true as the Knivskjellodden is 1,450 metres (4,760 ft) further north.

Batterie Dietl, Engeløya 🇳🇴

One of Europe’s largest coastal fortifications from the Second World War. Three of the world’s largest guns were here firing shells with a diameter of 40.6 cm/16 inches.

The fortifications guarded the entrance to Vestfjorden and the important route to Narvik, from where iron ore from Sweden was shipped to the German arms industry.

Nidarosdomen, Trondheim 🇳🇴

This church is the result of many craftsmen who spent their entire lives working on it. Norway’s most famous ghost haunts the Nidaros Cathedral.

Several generations of Norwegians have seen the ghost of a bloody monk in this cathedral. Like most good ghost stories there are legends about this monk as well as a real haunting.

Den Nationale Scene, Bergen 🇳🇴

Over the years, several employees at Den Nationale Scene have claimed that they met Octavia Sperati in the theater building – 100 years after she died. It is said that she can sometimes be heard in the hallways of the old house on Engen.

Fortunately, most people think that the legendary actor is a kind house ghost.

Parked for the night, Tindevegen, Øvre Årdal 🇳🇴

Tindevegen is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 1.322m (4,337ft) above the sea level, located in Sogn og Fjordane county, in Norway. The road to the summit is paved but pretty narrow and steep, hitting a 12.5% through some of the ramps.

The road to the summit is called Tindevegen. It’s 32 km long and links Øvre Årdal deep in Sognefjord to Turtagrø in Jotunheimen. The road is a toll road open from May to November. Just a short walk from the road, you can enjoy fantastic panoramic views of the Hurrungane peaks and Store Skagastølstind mountain in the east, and of the inner reaches of the Sognefjord and Skjolden in the west.
