Holidays in Norway

Norway

Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is country in North-western Europe, which has the greatest length of any European country. Norway has many mountains and offers ski tracks and resorts all over the country. Norway´s coastline is famous for its fjords. Canoeing and kayaking might be an adventure way, how to get close to them. Countless lakes and rivers and the extensive coastline mean a lot of opportunities for fishing as well. Norway is the land of the midnight sun in the North Cape area, with 24-hour daylight from the middle of May to the end of July. The sun does not set during this time. On the other hand, the nights from the end of November to the end of January are long. When it comes to Norwegian diet, Salmon is a staple food, which is the basis of many Norwegian dished, but can be served also on its own, mostly in a smoked form.  In the cold winter days, nothing warms up more than a bowl of mutton stew called fårikål. Sweets lovers should try krumkake, which consists of paper-thin roll of a waffle-like pancake and is filled with whipped cream or any other filling.
