Hiking to Kjerag and Kjeragbolten

In our South-West Norway itinerary there were 3 hikes on my bucket list and Kjerag was one of them. I could totally see myself stepping on that boulder and show the world how brave I was. Since it is located relatively close to Preikestolen we planned to do both in 2 days but ended up doing both in the same one. I still don’t know how that happened, since hiking to Kjerag is definitely not something you can just improvise. While doing Preikestolen and Kjerag in the same day shouldn’t be an issue for experienced hikers, I recommend others to take more time. If the weather cooperates, both hikes will be something you will never forget.

Intervju za “BeActive”

Pred časom so me kontaktirali iz podjetja Alpe Adria Adventurers, ki je zastopnik za blagovno znamko kvalitetnih športnih oblačil SportHG iz Španije. Na test sem prejela majici, ki sem ju izbrala glede na to, kaj je manjkalo v moji omari – torej športne T-shirt s kratkimi rokavi. V barvo, stil in mehkobo sem se zaljubila takoj, po dejanskem testu na terenu pa sem se odločila, da pristanem tudi na sodelovanje pri promociji njihove spletne trgovine BeActive. Ponudili so mi tudi kodo ANDA10, ki vam prinese 10% popusta na vse izdelke. Koda ni affiliate, znamko podpiram zato, ker so mi stesirani izdelki všeč. 😉

Adijo, ponos: SOS Vrtača

*by Aleš*

Ob spremljavi močnega vetra, enakomernega zvoka vojaškega helikopterja in delcih padajočega kamenja, k sebi držim nahrbtnik in gledam Ando, ki je nekaj metrov stran zvita v klobčič, čakajoč na rešitev. Med tem, ko občasno pogledujem navzgor, od koder se po reševalni vrvi spušča gorski reševalec, v meni vre tisoč in eno vprašanje. Danes, slab mesec kasneje, sem se odločil, da dogodek podoživim v zapisu in ga delim z vami. Delno zato, ker želim pri sebi skleniti mir, delno pa zato, da morda še komu odprem oči in ga odvrnem od poskusa, da bi se znašel v podobni situaciji. Situaciji, ki bi se prav lahko končala tragično. In nenazadnje, tudi v zahvalo reševalni ekipi in GRS Tržič.

Kje lahko unovčim turistični bon 2021?

Medtem ko nekateri še nis(m)o uspeli v celoti izkoristiti »koronskih« turističnih bonov iz leta 2020, so od 16. julija 2021 zunaj že novi. Vrednost vavčerjev 2021 (FURS jih poimenuje BON21) je 100 € za odraslega in 50 € za otroka. Poleg vrednosti je razlika tudi v tem, da lahko vavčerje 2021 izkoristimo pri večjem naboru dejavnosti in storitev, ne samo pri turističnih namestitvah. Ker marsikdo tega ne ve in ker preglednega seznama mest, kjer lahko koristimo t. i. turistični bon 2021, nisem našla, sem se odločila, da podatke začnem zbirati sama.

Hiking to Trolltunga

Ready for a detailed post about one of world’s most famous hikes? If hiking to Trolltunga is on your bucket list, do yourself a favor: take your time and read every word in this post. In my case, gathering information and writing a blog about Trolltunga took more time than the hike itself. I just couldn’t keep it shorter and leave anything out because this is exactly what I missed in other blogs: Incomplete information.

Hotel review: Grande Fjord Hotel (Geiranger, Norway)

If you are traveling to Western Norway, the famous Geiranger fjord will probably be on your “must-see” list. It is one of Norway’s most visited tourist points, especially since it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2005.  Despite its popularity, there are not many options to stay near Geiranger fjord. Especially, if you want to spend the night in a small cozy village, located in the end of the fjord. There are a couple of hotels in Geiranger*, but you need to be super fast to get a room there. Luckily, Grande Fjord Hotel had a vacancy during our road trip and we decided to treat ourselves with a fjord-view room.

Hiking to Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) in Norway

I am sure everyone has watched or at least heard of the Mission Impossible film series. Remember one of the scariest moments in the “Fallout” (2018) with Tom Cruise hanging from a cliff? Well, that cliff does exist and it is called Preikestolen or Pulpit Rock. Due to its amazing structure and relatively easy access, hike to Preikestolen is one of Norway’s most famous hikes. It was also the first hike on our West Norway road trip adventure, and it was everything I had hoped it would be. You can find tons of information about this hike online, so I will try to cut thing short and sum up the most important things to know before hiking to Preikestolen.
