Travel

Few sceneries are more spectacular than the Norwegian mountains, and there is no need for physical fatigue to experience the mountains on a close distance, although hour long hikes may bring you closer to the wild nature.

The wind tosses your hair while you car passes majestic mountains, alluring fjords and far-reaching glaciers. By 2015 18 national tourist routes will guide drivers through Norway's intriguing landscape. Four of them are already complete. 

The Atlantic Road's sharp turns and wild nature have ranked it first on British paper The Guardian's list of the world's best road trips. The more than eight kilometer long road along the Norwegian west coast places first even in sharp competition with world renowned attractions such as Northern Ireland's Antrim coast road and the Himalayas.

Some look to resorts and crowded beaches when they go on vacation. For others, a spot of untouched natural habitat might be more appealing. Norway can offer a plethora of unspoiled natural attractions for those seeking to escape the hustle of everyday life.
