HAMMERFEST, NORWAY DOES NOT HAVE A ROAD CONNECTION!!!
Welcome to Hammerfest!!!
The world's northernmost town in Norway. Hammerfest vigorously argues because too small to qualify as town.
Hammerfest is the 110th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 10,533. Most of the area municipality does not have a road connection with the rest of Norway.
We visited Hammerfest via Hurtigruten M/S Trollfjord cruise. But unfortunately we only allowed to stay 1½ hours to pace around, pick up an Arctic souvenir and visit the Hammerfest church, the catholic church St. Mikael & the Royal & Ancient Polar Bear Society.

Impressive. And at the very end of the video, don't miss Hammerfest church, it's a very unusual building. Lots more videos coming up from this trip! :-)

THE ULTIMATE TOURIST DESTINATION IN THE ARCTIC
Here, on the outskirts of Hammerfest municipality, there are plans to build an unusual and exclusive adventure center for international tourists. The center is inspired by earth houses, fishermen's cabins and the Sami people's coastal culture .When they had to sail long distances to fish, they often slept under their boats.
We have symbolized this through glass boats on the roofs of seven earth houses. In total there will be built 42 exclusive suites, where the Northern Lights and the stunning arctic landscape will come extremely close.
In addition, a common circular courtyard for activities, restaurant, bar, spa, sauna and more, will be developed. In the middle of the courtyard there will be a large lavvo (Sami tent) made of glass.

Footage from around town during my stay in Hammerfest, the northernmost town in the world. Check out the church, an unusual building. Unfortunately it was closed for refurbishing, so I couldn't get inside. But there were lots of other interesting things to see. :-)

Mountain Hike in Hammerfest
Join us for a mountain hike in the northernmost town in the world! This guided walk passes Hammerfest’s distinctive parish church before heading out of town and up the slopes. You start walking up the “Gammelveien” (Old Way) a hiking path around the mountain Salen. This was the only way into town in earlier days. As you head towards the top, you’ll go through Hammerfest’s only forest, Jansvannskogen. A bid for the mountain’s peak requires a fair amount of fitness but the panoramas are certainly worth it. On a clear day you can enjoy incredible views of the islands Melkøya, Sørøya and Seiland. The route back down to the ship and a well-earned rest comes via the popular zigzag path to the town centre.
DAY 28 - TRONDHEIM, NORWAY
Really charming city of Trondheim! If you're ever here you have to visit the famous Nidaros Cathedral. Nidaros Cathedral was built in beginning of 1070 to memorialize the burial place of Olav II of Norway. This cathedral is full of symbology and amazing architecture.
Also my stomach lead me to truly the best so far Falafel/Kebab restaurant. You need to check them out and of course try their food if you ever in town.

Norway: Tribute to Resilience and Excellence
I have always been inspired by Norway and wanted to share some of my knowledge on and appreciation for the efforts of its people. The recent bloodshed came as a complete surprise to many and serves to remind us of how important it is to maintain vigilance in this quest to promote peace. Prayers and hope for all touched by this tragic incident.
