"Hike up to, and in behind the Storseter waterfall.
The trip to the popular Storsæterfossen waterfall, where the trail actually goes behind the waterfall is one of the most used walking routes in Geiranger. It is carriageway to Vesterås (320 m.a.s.l.) by narrow gravel road. Closest parking is by the main road at Hole.
The walk starts from the Vesterås farm, and one has two routes to choose from at the start. Whether you follow the gravel road 50 meters back passing the cabins located on the left hand, and takes off on a tractor road leading up through hayfields. Follow the tractor road until a gate at the forest edge. You will pass through the gate and come into a stone pathway with hundreds of steps made by Sherpas from Nepal and completed in 2014.
The other route goes along the outbuilding at the end of the gravel road. This trail is not a stone pathway, but is shorter and steeper. One hundred altitude meters higher up in the hillside the trail comes onto the stone pathway made by the Sherpas that leads right up to Storseterfossen waterfall.
There is a nice grassy plateau (540 m.a.s.l.) just above the falls and a secured path goes down to the right and beneath the magnificent waterfall. Be cautious on wet, slippery party.
The trip from Vasteras to Storsæterfossen waterfall takes 45-60 minutes each way.
ELECTRIC BIKE and HIKE alternative: Parking at Hole can be limited so a good option is to travel up from town by "ebike" - an easy and fun way to travel without using much energy. Then of course you can also glide back into town after the walk. Check out the ebike and hike option here"
A ella le resultan algo más de 11 Km lo que, con todo lo que hay para admirar y fotografiar, bien puede llevarse media jornada. Y eso, más o menos, empleó Angegaca.
Tiene muy buena pinta y es una opción interesante, ahora que leo de cruceros que no hacen desembarco en Hellesylt, eliminando la posiblilidad del vistoso recorrido terrestre Hellesylt - Geiranger. ➡️ Leer más ...
You may know Vietnam for its tasty and easy-to-eat dishes like Pho, Banh mi, Bun Cha,... Do you know that this country has many weird food in Vietnam which can strike terror into your heart.
1 - Mam tom (fermented shrimp paste)
Top-notch on the list of the weirdest food in Vietnam that almost all travelers are scared to try. As a condiment for dipping like fish sauce, this pasty mixture made by fermenting raw shrimps with salt gives out a much stronger odor. It is said to be similar to the smell of rotten foods or dead mouse bodies. The stink will continue to stick to the breath, hair and clothes of the eater for so long after eating. This is also the very reason why shrimp paste becomes an sworn enemy of a remarkable number of people. However, to those who are in love with it, “mam tom” is an indispensable part of dishes such as dog meat, cold rice vermicelli with tofu and shrimp paste, snail vermicelli soup, crab paste vermicelli soup,...
2 - Thit chuot (Rat meat)
In Vietnam, rat meat is not served as a daily and popular food like pork, beef or chicken. However, in some areas like Tu Son city (Bac Ninh province), Hoai Duc district, Thach That district (Hanoi), it is a special dish that always appears on the worship tray or in big or small parties of the local people. Rat meat receives a lot of preference from consumers, of which evidence is its good sales. You may wonder if they aren’t afraid of catching bubonic plague. Actually yes, they are, yet the reason they still take it is that it is rice-field rat, not sewer one, hence the possibility that it has pathogens is modest.
3 - Thang co (Horse meat & offal hot pot)
“Thang co” is a dish that is attached to the Northwest of Vietnam. The dish is cooked by making the best use of the horse's body. Everything, even the colon is put into a pot and simmered with typical spices for hours. The recipe and the unpleasant smell makes almost all visitors even the boldest men concerned with hygiene. In fact, all the ingredients must go through a careful preliminary process before being served, thus there is no need to worry.
4 - Nam pia
At the end of the list of top weirdest food in Vietnam is Nam Pia. “Nam pia”- a special dish of the mountainous northwestern Vietnam is a real challenge to anyone. The meaning of its name has revealed the horror elements: “nam pia '' in the Vietnamese ethic language means “young feces soup”. What is more disgusting than food made from...crap? But, what is called “young feces' ' is in fact, the fluid in the small intestine of the cattle (in this case it is herbivore such as cow, goat, buffalo,...). The local people suppose it is the finest, most quintessential part of the animal since it is the food digested and about to absorb into blood veins to create energy for the body. Therefore, this dish is really nutritious. One more surprising thing ís that it has never caused a stomach ache to anyone.

An off-road cycling trip through the capital's towns and villages follows dirt paths, crosses ricefields and passes historic sites. Cong Thanh reports
Jens Pickhan, a German businessman, had time to explore the Old Quarter and suburban areas of Ha Noi after participating in a marketing survey for a travel agency.
On a hot summer day, Pickhan and his group of 10 friends decided to explore some of Ha Noi's most visited sites, including Son Tay citadel, the historic villages of Duong Lam and Tay Phuong Pagoda.
Pickhan was invited to join an off-road bike trip through the capital's surrounding towns and villages.
At the suggestion of a local guide, the group took an off-road route, crossing rice fields and riding along dirt paths in the countryside.
Chung, a former tourist guide and biking instructor in Ha Noi, accompanied the group on their half-day trip.
Chung chose a difficult route for the first-time riders.
The group left Ha Noi in a van, while another van carried their bikes and luggage.
After a 30-minute drive, they reached their departure point in Xuan Phuong Village, 30km west of downtown Ha Noi.
There, the guide explained how to avoid problems with muddy and uneven terrain.
At about 8.30am, group leader Pham Ha urged the team to begin riding in order to make a lot of progress before the sun reached its peak.
"I've experienced summer weather, so I know to hurry in the morning and reserve energy for hotter afternoon travelling," Ha explained.
They arrived at Thay Pagoda after an hour and a half. The 20-km route from Xuan Phuong Village to the Thay Pagoda proved challenging for the group; they had to carry their bikes crossing trenches and several riders got flat tires.
But the group agreed that terrain bikes were the best vehicles for their journey across fields of maize and harvested rice.
"It's amazing. We tackled slippery roads and immediately tested the skills we learned from our guides," said Pham Thi Hien, a member of the group.
"We also had the chance to talk with local people, who offered us tea and fruit when we took a short break near their gardens."
The monumental Thay Pagoda, which was built in the 11th century during the Ly dynasty, has statues for the worship of the Zen Buddha and his incarnation as King Ly Nhan Tong.
The upper pagoda's main gate features two four-metre statues made of a mixture of clay, honey, egg white and chopped paper; they were lacquered more than 500 years ago and remain the largest clay statues in Viet Nam.
"I was fascinated by the statues. They reminded me of little clay toys that I used to make when I was a kid, but this was the first time I've seen a giant statue made from clay," Hien added.
"We climbed up to the top of Sai Son Mountain to look down on the pagoda. A pavilion in the middle of the lake, which was set in front of the main building of the pagoda, looks like a match box from a bird's-eye-view angle on top of the mountain."
Having lingered at the pagoda for two hours, the group headed on to Tay Phuong Pagoda, where a unique collection of Buddhist statues has been housed since the 17th century.
The pagoda was built on the top of a mountain and visitors must still climb up 239 steps to reach it.
"It's quite high and we were exhausted by the uphill path to the pagoda after our long ride. But it felt so good to get to the top. It was as if the fatigue disappeared," Ha recalled.
A lunch at a local restaurant revitalised the group, before they continued another 8km to Tay Phuong Pagoda.
The pagoda is renowned for its lacquered wood arhats, considered to be among Southeast Asia's most beautiful statues.
It was built in the late 16th and early 17th centuries... ➡️ Leer más ...
