Norway is magic for nature lovers. The combination of snow-capped peaks with crystal clear fjords surrounded by steep mountains invites the traveler in kayak expeditions. The blue glaciers plunging ice boulders to the bottom of white water lakes, thundering waterfalls with crystal clear water, fjords to be explored, or pleasant paths into the woods invites outdoors. The 11th-century stave churches were built with old Scandinavian techniques of using tall trees stripped of the branches and the bark and left with the roots in the ground for years to dry straight. Fantastic museums document the history of the Vikings and their discoveries. Everywhere you go, people travel. By bike, hitchhiking, cars, and mainly with campers they frugally roam the country, the country being full of camping places that rent small huts where people live a simple life closer to nature.
