Just finished the hike from Rjukan to Gaustatoppen, and although we didn’t reach the summit, it was an unforgettable experience. The trail is about 20km with over 1500m elevation gain, and it’s no joke—steep climbs, wet and slippery paths made it tough, especially on the descent.
What kept us going was the incredible nature around us. From lush forests to rocky terrain, the views kept changing as we climbed higher. The sense of isolation in the wilderness was amazing, with waterfalls and misty swamps popping up along the way.
Even though we had to turn back before the top, it was a challenging and rewarding hike. Definitely one for the books!
This was also our first time filming one of our hikes, so we’re excited to see how the footage turns out (fingers crossed it’s decent!).
