Norwegen begeistert mit engen, tief eingeschnittenen Fjorden, glasklaren Seen, dichten Wäldern, schneebedeckten Hochgebirgen und der einzigartigen Inselwelt der Lofoten. Die höchsten Berge des Landes befinden sich im Jotunheimen, während urzeitliche Moschusochsen im Dovrefjell umherstreifen. Das Nordkap, als nördliches Ende Europas, symbolisiert das außergewöhnliche Naturerlebnis zwischen Meer und Bergen. Historisch erlangte Norwegen seinen Reichtum durch Fischerei und Handel, was sich in den Küstenstädten wie Bergen und Ålesund widerspiegelt. Trondheim, mit seiner prächtigen Kathedrale, bleibt der Krönungsort des norwegischen Königshauses. Oslo, die Hafen- und Hauptstadt, bietet lebhafte Straßen wie die Karl Johansgate und das ehemalige Werftgelände Aker Brygge mit zahlreichen Restaurants und Galerien. Der dünn besiedelte Norden ist am besten über die Hurtigrute zu erkunden, die von Bergen nach Kirkenes führt und kleine Fischerorte sowie die beeindruckenden Lofoten-Gipfel zeigt. Ob die Mitternachtssonne im Sommer oder das Polarlicht im Winter, Norwegens Natur und Kultur ziehen alle in ihren Bann. Über 300 Bilder und sechs Specials zu berühmten Entdeckern, der Hurtigrute, Stabkirchen, den Samen, dem Fischfang und der Bergenbahn zeigen die Vielfalt dieses einzigartigen Landes.
