Fjellsjøen

The snow conditions were just amazing last weekend and the whole Oslo was on skies, me as well. I decided to ski to Fjellsjøen and try to catch some big trout there (I got a trout over 2 kg there two years ago in January and last winter another big one broke my line there).  

Amazing skiing conditions

After early morning 10 km skiing in minus 15 degrees, I reached the place, set the holes and relaxed, waiting for the sun. 

and the sun came! 

and also lot of wind, blowing snow into my holes...

After 5 hours of fishing without catching anything, it was time to ski back

and enjoy great skiing...

Xmas holiday

 Plan for Xmas holiday was clear - a few days on snow in Norway (near the lake Savalen) and a few days in the Czech republic (Praha, Hranice, Brno). And here are some pictures.

The Big Silver Moose statue along road nr.3 means we are getting close to Savalen

Statue of "spark" - a perfect tool for moving on the ice/snowy roads/paths. Very typical for Tynset region. Invented in 1872 in Sweden. 

Savalen lake is popular place for icefishing (good population of arctic char, easy access). The fishing requires an early start, which is ideal for family holiday (fishing from 8 to 11, family activites rest of the day). 

Good morning catch

Savalen is just beautifull

And there are some nice ski routes around as well

Time to move to Czech republic... view from Praha-Hranice train

Amazing weather most of the days. This is from our half-day trip to Wallachian Open Air Museum in Roznov 

Another one from Roznov

Visiting Hranice abyss is a must

Lovely day in local forests (NPR Hurka)

Cross between Hurka and Velka Kobylanka

Time for one "snyt" in Brno

And probably the highlight of our visit - Public Transport Museum in Praha

Lukas loves old public transport vehicles, especially the trolleybuses. And I must say that I fully understand and we support him in that "hobby"

Last one...
