World`s end, Norway

visitnorway.com : “World’s End” lies furthest south on Tjøme. The area has fantastic views towards the Skagerrak. Superb bathing and fishing possibilities from smooth rocks and islands. The name “World’s End” originated amongst travellers here in the beginning of the 20th century. Before that the area was best known as vantage point for pilots looking for ships. The well known “basket lighthouse” and the restaurant were built in 1932. The long pier from the mainland out towards the small islands forms a protected harbour basin. Here lies one of Tjøme’s largest Marinas with service buildings. There is also a grill area. Several fishermen from Tjøme have their boats there. Post from Verdens Ende is stamped with a special post-mark.

If you want to forget all your other troubles, wear too tight shoes.  ~The Houghton Line

Here are some pictures from Gaustatoppen in Norway.

visitnorway.com : Gaustatoppen, which many claim to be the most beautiful mountain in Norway, towers majestically above the town of Rjukan at an altitude of 1,883 metres. Around 30,000 people make the trip up to the summit every year to enjoy the fantastic views from the top. On a clear day, you can see all the way south to the coast and east to Sweden.
