About the Book

Jotunheimen, die Heimat der Riesen, ist kein jahrhundertealter Name für diese einzigartige Gebirgsregion in Norwegen. Der Name Jotunheimen wurde erst im späten 19. Jahrhundert geprägt von dem Dichter Aasmund O. Vinje, der dabei von der nordischen Mythologie und der wilden Landschaft inspiriert wurde. In der Tat versammeln sich hier auf relativ kleinem Raum die höchsten Berge Nordeuropas überhaupt, von denen der Glittertind der bekannteste sein dürfte. Jotunheimen ist der höchste Teil der Skanden und liegt zwischen dem Sognefjord im Westen und Valdres im Osten. Das Gebiet umfasst insgesamt eine Fläche von rund 3.500 km², wovon ca. 1.200 km² auf den darin befindlichen Nationalpark Jotunheimen entfallen. In diesem Gebiet habe ich mit Dagi, Eva und Rolf eine Gebirgswanderung mit einer Wegstrecke von etwa 180 km unternommen. Der Rundkurs begann in Eidsbugarden am See Tyin, führte über Memurubu, Besseggen, Gjendesheim vorbei an Glittertind und Spiterstulen und schließlich durchs Fleskedalen zurück zum Ausgangspunkt. Der harte letzte Winter und der spät einsetzende Sommer sorgten für reichlich Schnee und Eis im Juli 1987, was der 18 Tage währenden Trekking-Tour schon eine pikante Note gab. Die tagebuchartigen Aufzeichnungen aus der Sicht eines der Protagonisten sollen dem Leser ein vergnügliches Bild der Ereignisse vermitteln.
About the Author: KLAUS HEYNE ist 1959 in der Revierstadt Bottrop geboren und dort aufgewachsen. Während des Studiums an der Ruhr-Universität siedelte er nach Bochum und lebt seit Mitte der 80er Jahre dort. Im Herbst 1982 Jahre hatte er den ersten Kontakt zum nördlichen Europa in Form eines Hüttenurlaubs am Nordfjord in Mittelnorwegen. Trotz permanent regnerischer Witterung waren die Eindrücke dieser Reise prägend. Es folgten verschiedene Trekkingtouren in Jotunheimen und nördlich des Polarkreises in Lappland (Kungsleden, Padjelantaleden, Grenzpfad von Troms, Sarek) immer mit dem Ziel, sich frei in der Natur zu bewegen und die zivilisatorischen Zwänge zurückzulassen. "Back to the roots" - die Weite und Freiheit erleben und zu den Urbedürfnissen zurückzufinden ist ein wiederkehrender Aspekt auf seinen Wanderungen. Die Faszination, die von den Landschaften der nördlichen Hemisphäre ausgeht, lässt sich nicht wirklich allein mit Worten beschreiben. Genau wie das Phänomen der Mitternachtssonne muss man diese Faszination selbst erfahren haben.
