Roadtrip Norway 2021 – Part 5

Hi All,
In case you missed part 4.

Day 11 was an easy 11 km hike up to Flohytta and day 12 consisted of a relaxing drive finishing of with a relaxing short hike.

Day 11 (hike to Flohytta):
Due to the weather forecast being a lot of rain, I didn’t want to continue to the Gamle Strynefjellsvegen, where I assumed that I wanted to make a lot of pictures. So I decided to stay at the same campsite for another day, and go for a short, easy hike, which ended up hiking from Flo up towards Flohytta and then continue strolling to the Stigholvatnet. This was a pretty nice hike, but it was a hike where you needed to backtrack your path to get back, which is always a bit less fun than another route with its new views. Nonetheless this was a pretty nice hike and the best thing was that it was even mostly dry during the hike.

Day 12 (Stryn – Skjåk):
Today was a relaxing drive over 1 of the 18 scenic roads through Norway, this time it was the Gamle Strynefjellsvegen. This one starts in Hjelle and goes towards Grotli. I think it would also be a great road to bike, although there are definitely some steep parts in there. But the views are amazing and the day ends at another scenic road towards Geiranger 😊.

The day ended with a nice short hike in the Reinheimen national park.
