Scandinavian beauty. What to see in amazing Norway?

There is nothing more pleasant than spending your vacation in the company of noisy waterfalls, mighty fjords, incredible mountains and eternal glaciers. There is nothing better than spending your holidays in Norway. However, not only the majestic nature - an integral part of this distant Scandinavian country - can diversify the leisure of tourists. Norway is also famous for its museums, cultural centers and galleries. So anyone can find an occupation and a place to their liking.

Many tourists prefer to use car rental services in Norway. The average cost of renting a car in Oslo is 18 euros per day, at Bergen airport the cost of renting is the same as in the city, although usually renting at the airport is cheaper.

It makes no sense to talk about the countless Norwegian fjords without mentioning the most important and most famous of them - Geirangerfjord. Yes, it cannot boast of a wide scope and length, but this is a truly wonderful and exciting place. Its main feature is a picturesque colorful landscape. Forgotten farms and villages, sheer cliffs covered with greenery, noisy murmuring waterfalls rapidly falling into the crystal smooth surface of the river - all this perfectly conveys the spirit of calm, harsh Norway. But beautiful views are by no means the only thing that entertains tourists. In addition, there is a museum dedicated to the Geirangerfjord, where you can learn more about the history and geology of this region.

Another attraction is located on the territory of another fjord. Preikestolen Rock is located on a high and inaccessible shore of a slightly less famous Lysefjord. "Pulpit" - and this is how the name of this natural monument is translated - is an outstanding and exciting place. The rock stands proudly at a height of just over six hundred meters. From its huge plateau you can see beautiful and enchanting places. No wonder this attraction is so popular in social networks. There is something to see here.

No less original and stunning is the Hardanger fjord. Many call this place the "orchard" of Norway. And this is not surprising, because in the spring it really literally drowns in the luxury of flowering. Numerous trees begin to bear fruit in the summer, turning the fjord into a heavenly place. Pears, apples, cherries and other delicious fruits hang from every branch. Also, this attraction is famous for its magnificent panoramas and leisure activities. Tourists here have a great time rafting and fishing.

The next attraction is somewhat different from all of the above, because the wooden church in Urnes is an architectural monument erected by man, and not by nature. This temple is almost nine hundred years old. Built in the twelfth century, this church is covered with a halo of all sorts of legends and secrets. Her laconic figure is modestly, but at the same time very organically woven into the harsh landscape. If tourists want to see a masterpiece of Scandinavian architecture, then this place is exactly for them.

There are many more fascinating and interesting places in Norway. One of the country's capitals, Oslo, boasts an astounding collection of palaces and museums. Nature and culture are incredibly combined with each other. And this is what you should definitely visit this cold Scandinavian beauty for.
