Head to southern Norway, where life blossoms in every rugged mountainous terrain, rugged coastline, and fjord valley!
How great would it be if you could drive along the vast nature of Norway’s coast, fjords, mountains and waterfalls? Start your Norwegian road trip filled with surprises as you drive along the road.
On the way to Geirangerfjord, which has a charming charm! The road built along the mountain path connecting villages has 11 turns that make 360 degrees. You can meet trolls from Norse mythology at Trollstigen, which you arrive at after breaking through the glacial waterfall. After passing Trollstigen, you can sit on the ‘Queen’s Chair’ at the Flydalsjuvet observation deck and enjoy the Geirangerfjord. The locals call it the ‘Golden Route’ because the scenery you see while driving on the road is as beautiful as gold.
This time, we drive along the Atlantic Road (Atlanterhavsvegen) along the coastline created by the fjord. The Atlantic Road is the nickname for Route 64, which connects the islands and the mainland with eight bridges. It was built after six years of construction while enduring the storms of the Atlantic Ocean. We drive along the Storseisundet Bridge, aka the ‘drunken bridge’, which is the symbol of the Atlantic Road, and feel the Atlantic wind. At the end of the road is the traditional fishing village of Bud. As soon as we enter the village, what are the red houses lined up along the coast?
There’s a ‘Bukchon Hanok Village’ in Norway too?! Half of Stavanger is colorful and half is white. The city’s landscape is all thanks to the efforts of the residents! Let’s find out what makes Stavanger different with the residents. We leave Stavanger and head to Preikestolen, one of the three major trekking courses in Norway and an easy climb even for beginners! At the end of the trekking, there is a flat cliff that looks like someone cut it off on purpose. It stimulates our imagination that maybe the Norse god Thor hit it with his hammer.
