mountains and fjords."
Everyone knows where the big attractions are; I will take you to those
lesser-known treasures.

The only other people you may find are other nature lovers. You'll feel like a true
explorer the first time you see the mountains in the fjords.
"What's YOUR Favorite location in Norway?"
hardanger vidda norway
Top of the world. Hardangervidda National Park
Norway is a country for every age, gender and disposition.
It is a country that covers so many interests that describing it is
'a place where thereis something for everyone' is no cliche.
It is a country for couples, singles,friends and family. One where sports lovers are
tirelessly amused on both land and water, while those seeking culture explore the
wooden Stave churches, museums and other ancient treasure.
And for food lovers? Well, you can never go wrong with Norwegian food, whether from mountain hut or your smartest resturant in Oslo ,Bergen or another city.
Whats more , you simply will not have time to do everything, so you
will just have to return to Norway, again and again.
So what was our favorite location in Norway, after many years of exploration
hiking/walking and fishing tours.
They all were! You see, every travel in Norway is different, each with its own
qualities that makes it special.
Still, I'll answer that question the best I can (along with my family and friends
who's helping me with travel reports and writing). And during this year we also
came to have a whole bunch of other favorites, which I will be writing about in
this Web site...
