Tourist Attractions in Norway

I spent the last few summers exploring the beautiful country of Norway and I want to show you my favorite places, so here is my Norway “Tourist Attractions in Norway”. Norway has to be one of my all-time favorite countries from the jaw-dropping fjords of western Norway to the sea mountains of Lofoten. Norway offers a sum of the world’s most unique and diverse landscapes. I just can’t get enough of this country all right left start this blog “Tourist Attractions in Norway” off on the magical Island of Sejab.

Sejab

Sejab is located in Northern Norway above the Arctic Circle and it’s Norway is the second largest island Zegna may be one of the best places in the world to witness the Aurora Borealis. To get there I flew into Tromso and rented a car and made the three-hour drive the reason I wanted to go to Sejab was that I wanted to hike to Segla anyways I drove to this town called Fjord and I got to the base of the Hike. It was a surprisingly difficult hike but eventually, I made it to the top I was just baffled by the view the rock formation rose hundreds of meters out of the ocean. it was just like nothing I have ever seen before.

Aurora Borealis

Now I was just having an amazing time and I decided I want to spend the night on top of the mountain so I could see the northern lights all I had was a blanket and I used my camera back as a pillar so I found this little mossy cliff ledge and I set up camp there and weighted for the northern lights to show up. Around 11 p.m. I woke up to the Aurora Borealis above my head. I could not believe that I was seeing them move surprisingly fast like a snake in the Arctic sky and those lights made me feel like a kid again and it will forever be one of the most special nights Of my Life. Some nights you do not need to fall asleep to start dreaming.

There are also amazing places on the island of Senya there’s this place called Tugeneset which offers an incredible view of the sea mountains across the Fjord.

Lofoten Islands

After Sejab wore a head down south to the iconic Lofoten Islands. Located in Northern Norway and even though it’s in the Arctic Circle it feels like you are on a tropical Island. There I was lucky enough to go about summers ago and they had an incredible journey Road tripping through Lofoten our first pit stop was at this fishing village called Hennindsaver. To see the world’s most Scenic football field. When we got there we sadly didn’t have a soccer ball but we had a good time playing on the field and enjoying the incredible views of Henningsvær.

Reine

we kept on driving and made it to the iconic town of Reine. Now when you think of Norway this is it. It has those rate houses surrounded by massive sea mountains. In my opinion, I’d have to say that Reine is the most beautiful town in Lofoten.
When I was planning my road trip to Norway. I remember seeing pictures of this place and I just could not believe it existed.
Now if you want to do an amazing height I’d recommend hiking to Kvalvika Beach. Now it’s about a 4 km trek and I promise it’s worth it. when you get to the beach you are going to be amazed by the landscape. It has mountains that reminded me of the Switzerland Ocean that looks like the Caribbean and its a green as a tropical Island I just can’t believe places like this exist especially in The Arctic Circle.
When we are there we wanted to get a good vantage point for the sunset so we hiked up to this vintage point and I just got one of my all-time favorite shots I mean I just could not believe the colors from the orange mountain to the green slope to the crystal Blue sea. I can’t think of a better place to watch the midnight Sun.

Saltstraumen

After Lofoten where to head to Saltstraumen to witness one of the world’s largest real pools so over a hundred and 10 billion gallons of water fast through this 3 km straight every 6 hours making from one of the strongest currents in the world. at water speed can reach over 37 km one of the coolest features of Saltstraumen is the real pools that the changing tides make now they are not the whirlpools you’d imagine in movies like Parrots in the Caribbean. these whirlpools can get over 33 ft in diameter with deafness of over 16 feet.
You can take a Boat ride through the current or you can witness the rope holes from the bridges above as for me I am going to stay as far away from that water as possible.

The Atlantic Ocean Road

After the real pools, we are going to take a drive to one of Norway’s most famous routes The Atlantic Ocean Road. This 8.3 km Road runs across an archipelago of islands as it connects the Islands of Bavaria to the Romesdale Peninsula. The Atlantic Ocean roadways were completed in 1989 and cost 122 million. Near Wheaton crone to make its made up of 8 bridges for resting places. The route is an impressive feat of engineering and it won the Norwegian Contraction of the Century award. So if you decided to go on a Norway road trip you have to take a drive on the Atlantic Ocean road.

Trollstigen

While we’re still on the top of the roads. if you drive just two hours South you will reach another one of Norway’s most famous routes Trollstigen. Now Trollstigen or the troll’s path is a serpentine Road that makes over 11 hairpin turns as it descends on a 10 percent decline to the valley below. Trollstigen has two powerful waterfalls that passed through the road the stigfoster waterfall has a total height of 240 meters. I mean that’s just freaking huge.

Trollveggen

Another cool place in the area is Trollveggen or The Trolls wall is Europe’s tallest vertical overhanging rock face at about 3600 feet high Which is unbelievable. In this blog “Tourist Attractions in Norway”, I have tried to visit all the places. So that you do not have any problem in planning your trip here.

Geirangerfjord

Afterward, you can make the 2-hour drive South to visit the Geirangerfjord. Geirangerfjord is one of norway’s. The most popular destination the fjord is over 260 meters deep and surrounded by massive mountains that are over 1600 meters high. There are many few points to get the best perspective of the fjord. One of the most spectacular features of Geirangerfjord is the seven sisters‘ waterfalls. The waterfall consists of 7 separated streams that descend 410 meters of water below. The best way to see the fjord is by boat. you can take a cruise ship or a 1-hour ferry from Geirangerfjord to Heli sealed for about 35 dollars.
This is by far the best way to witness the waterfalls and majesty of the fjord.

Lovatnet

Another amazing nearby destination is Lovatnet. Delete is about a 2-hour drive from Geirangerfjord. Lovatnet is home to some of the most beautiful Lake water. it has a unique turquoise hue with an incredible backdrop of the mountains. While Lovatnet is stunningly beautiful the area has had its fair share of tragedies over the last few centuries in 1905 massive rock from the remnant field mountain came to lose and fell 500 m where it hit the water and it caused a footy meters tidal wave that whites out is a small village completely of the map and killed meaning others despite the tragic history. Lovatnet is a place you got visit it’s hard to beat the beauty of this Norwegian lake.

Trolltunga

After Lovatnet we are going to head to the iconic Trolltunga. Trolltunga is possibly the most famous Rock formation in Norway as it suits over 2000 feet from the lake below. Trolltunga is one of the hardest hikes. You will ever do it’s 28 km around the track takes anywhere from 8 to 12 hours to do. so make sure you give yourself plenty of time you can start the Hike at the main trailhead and hike 40 km to reach the famous Trolltunga rock. If you go between June 1st and September 30th you don’t need a tour guide but if you go in the winter months you need one because of this little Sketch.
What is a strenuous Hike it offers some of the best views in Norway.

Lysebotn

After Trolltunga, we are going to head over to Lysebotn to drive down Norway’s craziest Road. Lysebotn is a small release that is about a 6-hour drive from Oslo. What I think is so scenic about Lysebotn is the role that leads down to it. It consists of 27 hairpin terms that descend the fjord to the village below. When you are at the bottom you are going to be amazed by the surrounding walls of the fjord.
If you are done with a hike you can trek 12 km to Kjeragbolten. Which is a famous first Rock wadge between the Cliff walls looks a little sketchy to me but hey I’d send it.

Pulpit rock

After Lysebotn, we are gonna head over to the nearby Pulpit rock. Located in the same fjord as Lysebotn. Pulpit Rock is a famous flat top Cliff with a straight drop of over 600 meters. To get there you can park in the base camp and make the 6 km hike. The rock can be super packed. So if you want to avoid the crowds you can wake up super early to get to pulpit rock before everybody else. I just can’t think of a better place to watch the sunrise. I just can’t believe how big cliff holes are and they just go straight down to the fjord below I mean just such a stunning and unique place.

Longyearbyen

Afterward, we are going to head back to the Arctic Circle to go to one of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas The Svalbard is located right between the North Pole and Norway. The capital of Svalbard is this town called Longyearbyen which has a population of a whopping 2000 people what’s cool about Svalbard is that it’s a feast of Freezone so basically anyone can move and work there. The archipelago is also home to this Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Where thousands of road seeds are kept in case of a global catastrophe. The biggest danger to Svalbard is the arctic cold and polar bears. In some places, you are required to bring a gun to protect yourself against them.

One of the most in interesting places on starboard is the Russian settlement of Barentsburg. Barnsburg started as a Dutch mining town in the 1920s but has sold to the Soviet Union in 1932.

Now the settlement has a population of over 400 people mainly from Russia and Ukraine. I hear it reminds people of North Korea because it’s just such a strange and unique place.

Well, that is it for my “Tourist Attractions in Norway” there are so many places I wish I could have included in this blog.
