Norway: Insider Travel Guide
Norway is also one of our top destinations for 2020. Nature lovers will get their money’s worth in the Scandinavian country. The ideal starting point for your Norwegian trip is the capital Oslo. The special thing about the European environmental capital 2019 is the mixture of a busy metropolis and a lot of nature: it is not only teeming with tourists, but also with forests and lakes.
In general, Norway is a very, very green country. Its fjords are unique, of which we recommend two in particular. The Lysefjord is particularly suitable for the bravest of you. Because there, on the edge of the fjord, there is the Preikestolen, a steeply sloping rock formation that is around 600 meters high and offers an incredible view.
If you dare, you can plunge into the depths from there with a base jump. The Geirangerfjord is 15 kilometers long and is particularly unique because the “Seven Sisters” plunge into it. Don’t worry, the sisters are huge waterfalls!
The Lofoten, an archipelago in the very north of Norway, is also absolutely great, where you can go hiking, climbing mountains, kayaking, fishing and even watching whales on whale safaris. The small fishing villages are absolutely worth seeing, especially because of the many colorful wooden houses. At Phototravellers you will find the best tips for a round trip in Lofoten.
And then we recommend mountains that are located on the Sognefjord, the deepest and longest fjord in the country. In the Bryggen district, there are the famous colorful wooden houses on the old jetty. There you will also find great restaurants and bars where you would love to stay all day. If it weren’t for the great mountains, the deep forests, the crystal-clear water …
