Infinitely beautiful Nordic nature<\/a> – Iceland? Opportunity to see the Northern Lights<\/a> – Sweden<\/a>? Intricate sculptures and<\/a> interesting buildings –<\/a> Denmark? The last clue is the fjords! There are more than a thousand of them here! Norway<\/a> is simply beautiful in its existence. Crystal clear lakes, super-ecological fish and the main hobby of the locals is hiking. Well, let's pack our bags for the land of trolls? In this article<\/a> we will tell you what tasks a trip to the kingdom would not be complete without doing!<\/p>\n

Experience the Troll's language<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n

If hiking<\/a> were a sport, it would be number one in popularity in Norway! This is the most popular form of leisure in the kingdom. Local passion for a healthy lifestyle + stunning scenery = mountain equipment stores at every turn. It's hard to stay at home when your country is simply replete with a variety of hiking routes – for every age and taste .<\/a><\/p>\n

Why not combine business with pleasure? We find trekking<\/a> boots, clothes for the season and go on a hike to one of the most famous natural attractions in<\/a> Norway – the Troll's tongue. This is a rocky horizontal outcrop on the Skjeggedal rock. It is located at an altitude of 1100 meters. According to local legends, a huge Troll once decided to check what would happen if he went out for a walk in sunny weather, and stuck his tongue out of the cave, which immediately turned to stone… The place is located in the vicinity of the town of Odda.<\/p>\n

For an unprepared person, the one-way journey with breaks for coffee and photos<\/a> will take about 4-4.5 hours. Needless to say about the menthol air and stunning views along the way? This is definitely a must do it.<\/p>\n

Go on a fjord cruise<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Is it worth mentioning the hackneyed expression that visiting Norway and not seeing the fjords is a crime? Certainly! After all, they are one of the most striking manifestations of the unearthly beauty of this country. It is better to start getting acquainted with bays with rocky shores from the second largest city in the country and the former capital of the Kingdom – Bergen. It is also called the gateway to the fjords. This is the ideal starting point for a cruise. There are a lot of options to see the main Norwegian attractions<\/a>: you can choose a tour that suits the price and distance.<\/p>\n

By the way, from Bergen it is easy to get to Sognefjord, the king of the fjords, the largest in the country and the second in the world (the first place is occupied by the Greenland fjord). Its length – more than 200 km – unrealistically beautiful views and the realization that Sognefjord was formed about 2.5 million years ago will take your breath away and make your heart beat faster.<\/p>\n

Firstly, the road to the fjord itself is already a great adventure and excursion<\/a>. It took a long time to get to the fjords – about 5 hours. And I, as a big fan of Norway, couldn\u2019t take my eyes off the window for the whole 5 hours. It was all just very beautiful, mesmerizing. First the sun shines, fields-meadows, churches-cemeteries, houses. Then – mountains, snow, ice floes. Next – a river, trees, a forest. Landscapes are constantly changing! But during the trip I changed clothes several times: sometimes I sat in a T-shirt, sometimes in a bike.<\/p>\n

The fjord was viewed from a small ferry. All this leisurely movement on the water between large mountains-rocks – steeply immerses you in the atmosphere. You begin to believe that trolls or hobbits from The Lord of the Rings could really live here. Everything there is so authentic! I think this is the main charm of the ferry – you don\u2019t stand on the shore and look at the mountains from one point, but as if you merge with nature, the flow of water and get permission to look at the life of the fjord from the inside. The most important and vivid feeling from there is the feeling of the majesty of nature. Gigantic ancient rocks and such a tiny you. But you need to be well insulated!<\/p>\n
