Travel to Norway

Norway is famous for its outstanding natural beauty, particularly its spectacular fjords.  Geirangerfjord is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a place of outstanding beauty that needs to be preserved. Located in western Norway, you can see waterfalls, fish, raft and ride around the fifteen kilometre long fjord.

Alternatively, visit Nordfjord, one hundred and ten kilometres long, and spanning from the glaciers to the ocean. Try your hand at summer skiing, or trek to the historical Selje Monastery. There is such a lot to do here, and if you love the outdoors you will not fail to be enthralled. Try driving the coast road on the west of Norway to see the soft beaches and lush skerries. Over the water you can relax on the small islands and stay at the communities, but as you drive along you will always hear the roar of the waves at the coastline.

A fjord is a waterway that is created when a glacier cuts a valley into the surrounding rock. Many were formed in the ice age, and now offer exquisite beauty. Most are deeper than the sea they are adjacent to, and many of the fjords have coral reefs at the bottom, by their banks. When at the fjords, enjoy the expansive silence of the mountains, and in places, the thundering of the waterfalls. They are places of inimitable beauty, and are not to be missed from your travels. Flights service Norway from London on a regular basis. What are you waiting for? Grab your passport and Travel Insurance and fly!!

When you are walking in the forest and along the river at night, remember you are not alone. There are little elves in the forest, and people in Norway call them the trolls. Every nation has its own tradition legends about spirits. And for Norway, it is the troll. The trolls have long red nose, massive hair, and somewhat ugly. They are said to be the spirit of trees and the earliest conquer of Norway. The trolls are in charge of the night and the Norwegians are in charge of the day.

The first day I stepped into the earth of Norway, the sculptures of the trolls started to grab my eyes. They were really every where. They are at the doors of shops, in the train stations, by the street of the city and at the door of someone's house. The bigger ones can be 2 meters tall and the smaller ones can be put into the pockets. But don't try to make troubles with those little demons. I took a lot of photos of them as a sign of friendliness. At last I even brought a troll with a long braid back home.

The troll is the mascot of Norway. Many Norwegian grow up listening to the stories of the trolls. In those stories, the trolls are the earliest habitants in this land. They had families and people were divided into different tribes and they had their own kings. For example beside the lakes in the forests, there lived a kind of trolls named Nakens. They lived in the water. And besides the waterfalls and mills lived a kind of trolls named Falthergramenn, who were pretty good at playing violin. In one of those stories a famous violinist was once the student of the trolls.

The most interesting story about the trolls is that they sleep during the day and start doing thing at night. But once they play so happily and forget to hide themselves before the sun comes out, they will be turned into stones. In the stories, the trolls like to have porridge and it is said that their long noses are used to blend the porridge. So during Christmas the local people will put a bowl of porridge at the door of their houses for the trolls to enjoy their time of Christmas. The trolls are becoming more and more friendly.
