If you plan to sleep in a tent, you may do so anywhere in forests or mountains except in cultivated fields for up to 48 hours, as long as your tent is no closer than 150 meters to the nearest house. It is also forbidden to overnight in your camper closer than 150 meters to the nearest house or cabin. Remember that open fires are prohibited in woods and fields from April 15-September 15. |
National Geographic Traveler magazine has rated the spectacular Norwegian fjords as the top travel destination in the world... |
 |
For the cover story in its March 2004 issue, National Geographic Traveler surveyed more than 200 tourism experts to evaluate 115 of the world’s best-known destinations according to criteria that pertain to cultural, environmental and aesthetic integrity. Norway’s fjords earned the top ranking based on what the magazine called a combination of geographic good luck—the fjords’ rugged terrain, attractive climate, difficult access and short tourist season—and Norway’s excellent environmental track record. |
