For this Scandinavian people, Mother Nature was born\u00a0from the body of a dead giant. Hence, the Earth is made of its flesh. The oceans correspond to its blood and sweat and the clouds are its brains. The bones of the giant formed the fjords hills, his teeth are now the reefs and his hair all the vegetation.

Preikestolen is located 604 meters above sea level and is the most visited attraction in the county of Rogaland.

It is the most authentic of them all, featuring five stories, just like oriental pagodas.\u00a0It also incorporates galleries, arched blazons, and cladding in the roofs and walls. <strong>The medieval wooden church of Borgund<\/strong> has often been used as a model when restoring other churches of these characteristics. This beautiful building from around 1180 is richly decorated with dragon heads, other animal designs, and vine-shaped ornamentation. The medieval interior of the church seems to be almost intact. The wooden floor and the benches next to the walls of the nave have also been partially preserved in their original state.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-ta tw-text-medium\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oslo_Viking_Ships_Museum\"><\/span><span lang=\"en\">Oslo Viking Ships Museum<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The land of the Vikings couldn&#8217;t forget their most famous means of transport: the Drakkars.

There they were buried more than 1100 years ago to transport their real owners to the realm of the dead.

The museum also shows the wonderful findings made in the tombs: small boats, sleds and the only car from the Viking era. You can also see fabrics and household objects. The museum shop has a good offer of souvenirs. You will enjoy two museums on the same ticket.

After a long winter, people of all ages enjoy the outdoors and go hiking in the mountains, along with the coast, or in the woods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\">There is a very wide range of scenic possibilities, including marked routes and trails, popular tourist attractions, or wild and mythical landscapes. Norway, the land of the Vikings, has earned a deserved reputation in Europe as an important destination for hiking. Some classic examples of challenging hiking trails are <strong>Preikestolen, Trolltunga, Galdh\u00f8piggen, Besseggen, and Romsdalseggen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beaches\"><\/span>Beaches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It takes some courage to swim in the Norwegian Sea and we will understand that you pass on this one. The landscape is breathtaking, though. <strong>White sand beaches<\/strong>, like Bore, or Orre. Stavanger is also a very popular coast destiny for Norwegians. An experience that you will remember because of the contrasts. Just remember that the land of the Vikings developed very strong characters. And there are not many sunny days a year, so people do the best they can. Anyway, go to the beach and take beautiful photos of the <strong>grey skies and dark waters<\/strong>. You will see where the color palette for the Nordic decoration style comes from.<\/p>\n<p>Norway is much more than this few places. If you travel far North you might be able to see the Aurora Borealis, a natural set of fireworks with astonishing colors.
