Tourism in Norway

Norway is a Nordic country, located in the west of Scandinavia, bordering Sweden in the east and the Atlantic Ocean in the west. The coastline is extremely winding, which constitutes Norway's unique fjord scenery. In addition, Norway borders Finland and Russia. Norwegian territory also includes Svalbard and Jan Mayen, the capital of Oslo. Since 200 1, Norway has been rated as the most livable country by the United Nations for six consecutive years. Norway-the name of the country was originally "the road to the north". According to legend, there was a "North Road" on the north coast of ancient Scandinavia, hence the name. Norway lies in the west of Scandinavia. Its northern part extends to the northernmost part of Europe. South faces Denmark across the sea. Norway is long and narrow in the north and south, with extremely tortuous coastline and numerous coastal islands, reaching 6.5438+0.5 million, so it is called "the country of ten thousand islands". Norway is one of the countries with the largest number of mountains in Europe, with plateaus, mountains and glaciers accounting for about 75% of its land area. Scandinavian mountains basically run through the whole country in the north-south direction. Norway is mountainous, and more than half of its land area is mountainous at an altitude of more than 500 meters. Scandinavian mountains run through the whole territory, and the southernmost watershed of the mountains is called "Changling", which is a plateau area with an average altitude of 1000 meters or more. To the north of Changling, the mountain range rises gradually and reaches its peak at the inner end of Songgen Fjord. There are more than 150 peaks over 2000 meters above sea level here. The highest mountain in Norway, Garch Peak, which is 2467 meters above sea level, is in this area. Changling divides southern Norway into three parts: east, south and west, with different topography: the east is gentle and long, with the longest Gloma River (580 kilometers) and the largest Lake Miyosa (375 square kilometers) in Norway; The west is narrow and steep; In the south, as the mountain range continues to extend to the southern coast, its mountain trend gradually weakens. Northern Norway is a long and narrow mountain range, which is called Sheren Mountain. The Sheren Mountains extend eastward to the Finnmark Plateau, which is a wasteland where almost no trees grow. Facing the Barents Sea, there are some cliffs as high as 300 meters. Norway is surrounded by the sea on three sides, from north to west to south, followed by Barents Sea, Norwegian Sea and North Sea. Because there are many fjords in Norway, the coastline curve of Norway is as long as 2 1000 km. Abundant marine resources have greatly increased Norway's fishery production. Norway has always been one of the largest fishing countries in the world and one of the three largest seafood exporters in the world. Lofoton means "the foot of the bobcat" in Norwegian, and it also means a series of steep islands rising from its territorial waters-"the wall of Lofoton". This "Lovell East Wall" forms a 160 km barrier between the western fjord and the North Sea. The warm current in the Gulf of Mexico makes the winter here relatively warm and humid. Every year from June to the end of April, 65438, a large number of fish will gather in the shallow waters of Lofton to lay eggs, and a large number of fishermen will flood in at this time of the year.

There are fewer fishermen on Lofoton Island, but the number of tourists and artists has increased. The fisherman's hut, which has created the history of Lofton, has become a holiday home for tourists who come on holiday. Painters attracted by the sunshine in Lofton are becoming more and more familiar. In Svinya, near Worwa, an "Art House" was recently built for six Swedish painters and two Norwegian painters.

Trondheim in central Norway is a small city. From here, you can take a train north through the Arctic Circle to Bode, and then take a ferry from Bode to the Lofoton Islands opposite. Fishermen landed from Moskenes wharf, less than 100 meters away from the wharf. These are some red wooden houses supported by wooden columns by the sea, and some of them have a history of 100 years. There are no hotels with waiters and receptions around Lofton. Are self-help fishermen's homes. For tourists to stay in summer and fishermen to rent in winter.

At the westernmost tip of the Lofoton Islands, there is a fishing village called Ao (A), which is the end of the E 10 highway (EuroNo. 10) and one of the shortest villages in the world, so people are attracted by it. Lianbao in the northern part of the archipelago is a small fishing village by the sea, which is slightly different from Austria and Moss Knoos. The red houses in Austria and Moss Knoos are very dense, and both stand by the sea. Lianbao, on the other hand, is open near the sea, and the wind and waves are fierce. Sparse houses are built on the land on the shore, and almost all of them are fishermen from various countries who have lived for a long time.

The tourist attractions in Trondheim are as follows: Nidaros Cathedral; The largest building in Scandinavia in the Middle Ages; The position of an archbishop; The royal residence of Steve Garden; The largest wooden building in Scandinavia; Christian peak fortress; Ring Museum, Museum of Music History. Porto is the largest city and important port in Nordland, northern Norway. Because it is located at the northern end of the Norwegian state-owned railway and the hub of entering and leaving the Lofoton Islands, the traffic status is particularly important.

During World War II, the town was ruthlessly destroyed by the Germans. Reconstruction between 65438 and 0950.

The reconstructed museums or churches are quite modern, and only the baroque church LodinChurch built of stone is impressive. It's about 30 minutes' walk from the youth hostel to Mount Longwick, where you can clearly enjoy the beauty of midnight sunshine.

Saltstraumen, about 33 kilometers south of Puerto Rico, has the world's largest whirlpool spectacle, and huge waves churn among the three-kilometer-long fjords with amazing momentum.

In addition, the train routes from Oslo, Snees, Aandahl, Trondheim and Porto to Narvik are also talked about by travelers: this scenic train route includes mountains, waterfalls, river valleys, forests and coastlines, and it also passes a stone tablet marking the Arctic Circle. geirangerfjord

Gai Langell Fjord, located in the north of Bergen on the southwest coast of Norway, is the most beautiful and mysterious fjord in Norway. The fjord is 16 km long, and the mountains with an altitude of 1500 m stand on both sides. Gai Langille Fjord is famous for its numerous waterfalls. Many waterfalls flow into the fjord along steep rock walls, such as "The Bridegroom's Veil" and "Seven Sisters". At the top of the fjord is Gai Langell village, which can only be reached by a 1000-meter-long highway winding down the hillside. In summer, many tourists come on foot for their holidays. In addition to the Gay Langille Fjord Church, which was built in 1842, there are also the Freydal Four-dimensional Observatory and the Dar Seniba Observatory at an altitude of 1500m. There is Briks Dahl Glacier around the scenic spot.

Sognefjord

Songgen fjord Located in the north of Bergen, it is famous for its farthest land penetration. Songgen Fjord extends 204 kilometers eastward from the west coast, which is the longest and deepest fjord in the world. Measuring twice along the fjord can show the most primitive beauty of Norway.

hardangerfjord

Ha Dangel Fjord. Located in the south of Bergen, it is famous for its poems and paintings. Ha Dangel fjord is the most idyllic fjord among the four fjords. In spring, the fruit trees on both sides of the fjord are in full bloom with flowers of various colors, which complement the green fjord with a total length of 170 km. In summer, there are apple flowers and apricot flowers everywhere, which are colorful.

Reese fjord Located in the east of Stavanger, it complements the cliffs, precipices and rocks. The Riise Fjord is 42 kilometers long, where there are "pulpit" wonders standing on the cliff about 600 meters above sea level, and there are also huge stone wonders hanging at an altitude of 1000 meters.
