Where is the forest in Norway?

before you go to Norway, don't be full of illusions about Norwegian forests. Regarding the forests in Norway, no one can say clearly which forest is the best. On the contrary, because there are too many forests, the forest coverage rate in Norway reaches about 36%. What people who travel to Norway often forget most is her forest. So every time after returning home, when people ask how good Norway's forests are? I am often speechless. Only a few fragments can be retrieved from memory.

Understanding Norwegian forests began in Oslo. Oslo, the capital of Norway, has not only ancient buildings and charming bays, but also a good place to enjoy Norwegian forests. Oslo is surrounded by mountains and seas, and the sea in Oslo Bay is clear and blue. Behind the city of Oslo, there are green hills, lush trees, lakes and marshes of different sizes, and mountain roads and paths crisscross. If you are full of energy, you can climb to the top of the mountain on foot and see the charming scenery of Oslo: the undulating sea in the distance, the city of Oslo closely surrounded by the sea and the beautiful forest in the vicinity.

my second encounter with Norwegian forests was on my journey from Oslo to Bergen. This is a seven-day journey, passing through many characteristic towns, which are often located in the forest. Balestrand is one of the most distinctive towns. This is also a place facing the sea and backed by mountains. The sea is still blue, and the mountains behind are covered with dense forests. At the top, you can see white snow, even in the hot summer. The melting snow water flows slowly down the hillside and meets into a winding stream.

according to the plan, we have two days to kill here. When I got up in the morning, I had a whim to go to the top of the mountain to touch the snow. So I packed my bags, went through a tunnel and walked slowly along a path to the top of the mountain. Going deep into the mountains, I have a close contact with the Norwegian forest in the true sense. In the dense forest, all kinds of trees are mixed, and you will never hear any other noisy sounds except insects and birds and the rushing stream.

On the way, I met two brown horses, ate grass leisurely on the mountain path, and with the flowing water in the forest, people suddenly entered an isolated and peaceful world. Climbing to the top of the mountain and overlooking the misty fjords at the foot of the mountain, I really appreciate the charm of Norwegian forests. Without fjords, sea water, streams in the forest and waterfalls over the mountains, Norwegian forests are inferior. The fjord and the forest meet each other, the forest and the reflection in the sea water match each other, and the waterfalls and streams flowing downstream add infinite vitality to the Norwegian forest. All these constitute the unique characteristics of Norwegian forests.

The data shows that 75% of adults go for a walk in the forest. Yes, Norwegians need forests, and forests have become a part of their lives and even all of them! When you travel to Norway, don't forget the forest there!
