Norway

Land of Midnight Sun

An absolute gem of a country that we fell in love with. One of the best things about Norway is the hiking culture here. Whether you are an experienced hiker or just a beginner, there is something for everyone. We particularly enjoyed the stunning hikes in Stavanger and Oslo, with their scenic routes and breathtaking views. And of course, no trip to Norway would be complete without hiking to the world-famous Pulpit Rock, which offers some of the most spectacular views of the fjords. The scenery in Norway is simply breathtaking. Every corner you turn, you are greeted with jaw-dropping landscapes, picturesque villages, and serene lakes. From the rugged coastline to the majestic mountains, there is no shortage of stunning places to explore. Norway truly is a place that every traveler should have on their bucket list.
