Welcome to "A Swiss in Norway".
In this episode we don't continue with the Oslo-Serie,
but we were for Pentecost in West Norway, in the Ryfylke and at the Preikestolen.
On the way we stopped at one of my favourite places, the Haukeliseter.
The Haukeliseter is in the high mountain at 1000 m, in the Alps that would be 2500 m.
There you find the Haukeliseter Fjellstue.
It's a hotel which was build in the 19th century for travellers between Oslo and Bergen.
More about it tells us Åshild Woie.
The Haukeliseter is opened the whole year.
You arrive their by car, or with bus between Oslo and Haugesund.
If you remember the place, we were here in February, but 300 m that way.
Let's continue with Preikestolen.
If you continue west from the Haukeliseter, you arrive in the Ryfylke.
More about it from Hanne Sundbø.
The first stop on the Ryfylke road is Sauda. More about it from Ragnhild Johannesen.
The reception building of the mine museum was design by the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. It opens in 2012.
In Sauda you can do also other stuff.
The main attraction in the Ryfylke is the Preikestolen.
We walked up to the Preikestolen.
There were many people there, lots of people.
If that would be a car road, it would like driving in rush hour in Oslo.
The view from 600 m (1970 ft.) high Preikestolen is unique.
Being near to the sea, there is good sea air as well as good mountain air.
An other attraction is the Kjerag.
You should go in summer to the Ryfylke.
But in Sauda in Winter.
On the Lysefjord there is between June and August a tourist ferry.
The ride is unique, and you can see the Preikestolen and Kjerag.
The captain that day was Werner Schleyer.
He moved 46 years ago from Bavaria to Norway.
The Lysefjord is narrow, and the mountains are 1000 m (3300 ft.) high.
With some luck you can see seals at Flørli.
It's not easy since they have the same colour as the rock.
At the end of fjord in Lysebotn, there is a road with 27 hairpin turns.
From eagle nest you can see the valley, and from there it goes to the Kjerag.
With the whole film equipment it took us two time three hours to walk to the Preikestolen.
That's for this time. Write me emails.

Good bye to the next time.
