10 Reasons Why Norway Is The Greatest Place On Earth
Norway is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places on Earth. It's home to more natural wonders than we can count and it has stunning cities, fascinating history and really happy people.
Norway's not cheap. But it's worth it. Here are 10 reasons why.
- It's actually one of the happiest places on Earth.
2.It's regarded as the birthplace of skiing.
Early evidence of modern skiing has been found in Norway. The word "ski" actually comes from Old Norse and roughly translates to "split piece of wood."
3.You can see the Northern Lights.
Head to the Lofoten Islands for a spectacular view.
4.The national drink is Aquavit.
It's a potato-based spirit flavored with herbs. It's very potent. Most people use beer as a chaser. It's hardcore.
5.You can ski in the middle of the summer.
Stryn Summer Ski Center opens in late May and welcomes skiiers through late July or mid-August depending on the snow conditions. If you get a hankering for skiing during the warm months, you know where to go.
6.See the midnight sun.
This natural phenomenon -- 24 hours of visible sun -- occurs during the summer in northern Norway, which sits above the Arctic Circle. Not only is the midnight sun an incredible sight, it leaves more hours in the day for fishing, boating, climbing and exploring.
7.Fjords
Norway's fjords are natural wonders that just beg you to go exploring.
8.There's a law called "allemannsrett."
Allemannsrett literally translates to "all men's rights." It's a "freedom to roam" public rights law that allows the right of access to and passage through all uncultivated land. This means you can pitch a tent or hike through any land that is "utmark" (non-cultivated). Also, wild-berrying is permitted everywhere. This little rule is extra awesome because there tons of jaw-droppingly beautiful places to see in Norway and few barriers stopping you.
9.Trolltunga is the perfect photo op.
Trolltunga is one of those insanely gorgeous locations.
10.And finally, Norway's geography includes 240,000 islands and a coastline that stretches over 64,000 miles.
There's more water than you could ever explore by boat. There's more land than you could explore by foot. How could you ever be bored?
