Күн бұрын10 days Backpacking & Hiking Femundsmarka & Rogen, Norway and Sweden alone | Wild Cowboy Camping on top of Stor Svuku mountain with the Midnight Sun just below the horizon on the last night.
The Grand Scandinavian Hiking & Backpacking Tour Episode 4
This is part 3 of the 10 day Femundsmarka National Park and Rogen Nature Reserve Backpacking trip. In this episode 4 from the Grand Scandinavian Hiking & Backpacking Tour I go from Nedre Muggsjø/Lower Mosquito Lake, to Langeggtjønnan, further on to Lower Roasten Lake and I stay the 9th and last night on the top of Stor Svuku mountain, cowboy camping without my tent on top of the world with the most incredible light through the night. Probably the most scenic night I have ever spent in the outdoors, as close as I have ever been to sleeping in the Midnight Sun. I go down to Svukuriset and back to Elgå where I spend a night at Lars Monsens Femunden Lodge after ending the trip.

These are the final days of my 10 day Femundsmarka and Rogen backpacking trip in Norway and Sweden. I go from Lower Mosquito Lake, to Long Tarns, further on to Lower Roasten Lake and I climb up and spend the 9th and last night on the top of Stor Svuku mountain. I cowboy camp without my tent on top of the world with the most incredible light through the night. Probably the most scenic night I have ever spent in the outdoors and as close as I have ever been to sleeping in the Midnight Sun. The sun was just below the horizon the entire night for an endless sunset into sunrise. I go down back to Moose RIver/Elgå where I spend a night at Lars Monsens Femunden Lodge after ending the trip.

I can hardly believe the vastness of this area, so many vistas to behold. And lovely that there are no people apart from those dastardly cairns. What is that yellowish covering on many rocks…is it lichen? And I’m loving Melantopia Into the Thorofare. Gives one a feeling of giddy anticipation . Who knew you were a man of so many talents! Music producer, 3 Norwegian Grammys, adventurer, talented videographer, climber, skier. You are truly a Renaissance man and most unpretentious. You’re appreciated by all of us.

The night on the mountain and the midnight sun was just incredible. I experienced it 4 years ago on a Hurtigruten ship heading north to Kirkenes and was overcome with the light and colors. But yours tops that! And I will watch this again and again. Always amazed by the un-tipped angle of the crescent moon in the far north compared to where I am in Southern California. But yet we share the same moon regardless!

Fantastic ! After watching your videos from Jotunheimen, Rondane, Kjerag, Preikestolen and Sarek this is for me the favourite seies so far. The area Femundsmarka almost screams Norway. The landscape is so inviting and you want to go on a hike immediately. The opportunity are big with fishing, canoeing and other water activities. Perfect in my view. That night you were at the top of Stor Vuku had almost a religous experience. I totally understand why you couldn`t sleep. Many thanks for these videos.

Tourist-pictures of Norway mainly show its beautiful fjords. I didn't know the inner Norway partly consists of rocky fields, with few trees. (I imagined green alpages with friendly cows) Didn't you ever twist your ankle while filming on those boulder-covered hills ? Virgin nature, desolated scenery, without a single human being. Peacefull indeed. Nothing but the sounds of animals and birds. However !.... what a splendour you show us, dear Jarl ! "Blue" lakes during day, "golden" lakes at night. No darkness. Sunset turns into sunrise between 1.00 and 3.00 a.m. It's really worth missing some sleep to admire that gorgeous colourful phenomenon ! Thank you so much for your effort, Jarl ! You surely enjoyed your waffle + coffee, and perhaps .... a nice soft bed..... Greetings from Belgium, Ghent.

On the top of Stor Svuku Mountain? "OTHER-WORLDLY". Whether day or night ("almost"). It seemed like the type of place where one could "easily" have a long discussion with GOD. Did you Norwegian Xplorer or is that too personal of a question? (smiles & hug) Your videos are so very unique & artistic. I feel like if I turn away for a split second that I may miss something. It is a very rare thing to hold a person's attention now-a-days. So? So, "KUDOS TO YOU". The "mirror reflections" in the lakes? Beyond....beyond. I can think of no perfect word to describe the BEAUTY you showed us in those reflections. Well, Norwegian Xplorer, "THANK YOU" for reminding us all of the TRUE wonder in this World. (Big Hug) GOD BLESSES ALL.
