Norway – a land of majestic fjords, boundless horizons, and towering peaks. Norway’s landscape is characterized by the Scandinavian Mountains with giant mountain ranges and vast barren plateaus, the fells.
Stretching partly above the Arctic Circle, it’s not only a hiker’s paradise, but also a haven for adventurers, wildlife enthusiasts, and seekers of solitude. In summer, the seemingly endless midnight sun bathes the landscape in a golden glow for hours on end, turning each day into something truly extraordinary.

The Musk Oxen of Dovrefjell
Weighing 400 kilograms, standing 1.5 meters tall, and yet climbing entire mountain walls – for us, musk oxen are among the most impressive animals in Europe and very photogenic, too.
The Dovrefjell National Park is one of the few places in Europe where musk oxen can be admired. These giant herbivores were reintroduced to Norway in the 20th century, having lived there during the last Ice Age. Today, 200-300 individuals can be found in the national park.
Hiking in Norway
Hiking in Norway is definitely something different. Hiking trails often seem rather optional, and it’s also good advice to bring plenty of snacks, as a hike can easily last 10 hours. But the views you’re rewarded with at the end are just as incomparable.
Whether eating instant noodles at sunset in Jotunheimen or admiring the sunrise in your sleeping bag with hot chocolate on Bakkanosi, the view of Norway’s fjords in the golden light never fails to awe us.
Canoeing on Norwegian Lakes
The long summer days and countless lakes in Norway are a real invitation to grab a canoe and set off. The water is calm, our paddles glide gently into it, letting us drift leisurely from one shore to the next. These mini-adventures are the perfect way to truly unwind.
At night, after the last rays of sun have disappeared behind the horizon, fog settles like a blanket over the lake, giving everything a mystical atmosphere.
