    Jokkmokk to Narvik via Ofoten railway

    July 12, 2023 in Norway ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

    Hello Norway!! We took a stroll around Lake Talvatissjon in Jokkmokk this morning (where Samara made more furry friends) before heading to the station to catch the train on the Ofoten Line. This is one of the world's most northern railway lines and transports us across the border from Sweden into Norway. It's a 5 hour journey from Jokkmokk to Narvik and takes 3 1/2 hours to get to the border. We slide into a tunnel at the border (there are a lot of tunnels), the Swedish side filled with conifers, lakes and gently sloping hills. We come out on the Norwegian side to dramatically steep fjords and mountains with snow (not much snow because it's still so freaking hot!). There are lots of WOW moments at every turn. It is truly spectacular scenery.Read more
