Norway, officially called the Kingdom of Norway, is located in the western part of the Scandinavic Peninsula, with the capital Oslo.
Norway, the country of fjords, is an exotic country and at the same time ultra-modern, being a real Monarchy. The country’s towns continue with the suburbs, but are so much lower than other European cities. They have few commercial high buildings and it lacks the pace of life alert which is located in towns with developed industry in other states.
The most characteristic city for Norway is Geiranger. Here the mountain is joins the sea. Also here we find the Norway fjord along which are the waterfalls “The Bride’s Veil” and “The 7 Sisters” (7 waterfalls which are small, one near another). They have their source in the mountain called “The Devil’s Hole”. We can also find here, in Geiranger, the Galsnipa mountain, which can be climbed up to the top. From there you can see, in all its splendor, the view of the city and especially the fjord. Here, tourists have the opportunity to leave a great memory. On the mountain there are a lot of little stones of which you can make some memories, in a place chosen by them. This will remind them later that they went over there. There are a lot of such figurines on the mountain. We can even say that in the top of the mountain met all the civilizations of the world. In Geiranger there is a living legend about the trolls. Nature itself has inspired myths and legends about trolls and other fantastic little animals which lived in isolated mountains and forests of northern wild. Nobody knows exactly, but if there were, or still exists, but Geiranger Norwegians still believe in them and even made some wooden statues.
One of them, very large, is by its imposing size, one of the tourist attractions of the city. In Oslo there is a park with monuments, named Vigelandsparken, where there are over 192 sculptures, summing together 650 human figures - a true people’s park. Amazing is the fact that all statues are made by a single person: the Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland. It is a huge park, in which art joins nature and a single day is not enough to visit it from one end to another.
Lillehammer, the city museum
The city centre still bears the imprint of the Nineteenth Century, with great wooden boxes and sinuous little streets. As tourist attractions in Lillehammer there are the Maihaugen museum, the largest open-air museum of Norway, the Flygelet Museum of Art, but also the wood Garmo church, built around 1150.Lillehammer is a perfect destination for ski lovers. There are a lot of tracks in the snow there and you must visit the Olympic Games park.
