The Norwegian forest is recognized from the beginning of Oslo. Oslo, the capital of Norway, not only has old buildings, charming bay, is also a good place to appreciate the Norwegian forest. Oslo around the mountains facing the sea, Oslo Bay sea water clear blue, behind the city of Oslo is surrounded by green hills, lush forests, lakes of different sizes and marshes, mountain trails crisscrossing the length and breadth of the path. If you have enough energy, you can hike to the top of the hill and see the stunning scenery of Oslo: the sea in the distance, the city of Oslo surrounded by the sea and the forest, and the vast forests in the near distance.
My second encounter with Norwegian forests was on a trip from Oslo to Bergen. It was a seven-day journey that took me through a number of unique towns, often nestled in the forest, and Balestrand was one of the most distinctive. It is also a place facing the sea and backed by mountains. The sea is still blue, and the mountains behind it have dense forests, and at the highest point you can see the snow-covered mountains, even on a hot summer day. And the melting snow water flows slowly down the mountain slopes, intersecting into a meandering stream.
As planned, we had 2 days to kill here. When we got up in the morning, the idea of going to the top of the mountain and touching all that snow struck us. So I packed my backpack, went through a tunnel, and slowly traveled along a path towards the top of the mountain. Deep into the mountains, I was in the true sense of the Norwegian forest to a close contact. In the dense forest, trees of all colors are interspersed, and you will never hear any other noises except for the chirping of insects and birds and the running of the stream.
On the way, we met two brown horses, grazing leisurely on the mountain path, coupled with the gurgling brook in the forest, people suddenly enter a kind of isolated and quiet world. And climbed to the top of the mountain, looking out over the misty fjords, so far I really appreciate the charm of the Norwegian forests, the lack of fjords, seawater, forest streams and waterfalls, the Norwegian forests to be a lot less colorful. Fjords and forests, forests and seawater reflected in the reflection of the fun, downstream waterfalls and streams for the Norwegian forests to add unlimited vitality. All of this makes up the unique characteristics of the Norwegian forests.
Data shows that 75% of adults go for a walk in the forest. Yes, Norwegians need the forest, and it has become part of their lives, if not the whole! When traveling to Norway, don't forget the forests there!
