we will probably never forget our trip to the Geirangerfjord! But not because of the Geirangerfjord itself...
We had taken a short boat trip across the fjord and had just got back into the car. On the way, we thought about stopping again to hike to an inn in the surrounding mountains. However, my knees were aching and we still had a hike ahead of us in Jotunheimen. While we were driving, I suddenly saw that there was a road to the inn. And at the same moment, we drove past the entrance to it...
So we wanted to turn around and reversed into a meadow. What we didn't see, however, was that the tall grass covered a steep, small slope. As we reversed into the meadow, our left front wheel suddenly lifted off the ground. The car was suddenly at such an angle that it threatened to fall over. What to do now?
Impressively, some people stopped and tried to help us, but nothing worked... Suddenly a farmer came by with his tractor. He hooked a tear-proof strap to our car and pulled us out of the pit!!! From then on we were back on the ground with four tires. We could hardly believe it and were incredibly grateful for all the help!
After the shock, we didn't drive back to the inn... Instead, we went to a small gravel parking lot, from where we walked to a stream. There, we unpacked our camping stove and made our own lunch. Surrounded by nature, we not only digested our food, but also the scare...
