Journey to one of the Last Ancient Norwegian Forests - Hiking through Norway Ep.1

Come with me on a ten hour hike through the Norwegian wilderness to explore our last standing ancient forests. Our Website and shop: https://www.art-of-nature.no - As a Landscape painter I am always on the lookout for new inspiration and environments. Something that has been on my mind for a long time is Ancient untouched forests. I always want to paint a landscapes that do not have any sign of human intervention but as I paint from imagination and not from photos the problem has been that my impressions and memories are all from forests that have been used extensively over the millennia as have almost all forest (say over 99% here in Europe). Now though we actually live in an area where there actually are exist of the last ancient forests in Europe, ancient untouched places where mountain pine forests still live. This because of some quite special ice age remnants that have made these areas all but unpassable for machines and horses alike. So this summer I have spent a lot of time exploring these forests and also made the last theme of our online shop Ancient Forests, so everything that I have painted the last three months has this theme. In this video I take you along into one of these forests on a 10 hour hike deep into the Norwegian wilderness, exploring one of the last ancient forests in all of Europe.
