Hundreds of thousands of trees and billions of flowers. The trees normally blossom in May, a time which is particularly beautiful by the Hardangerfjord and the Sognefjord.

3. You can relax beside solveggen
Aaaah!
Nothing is better than relaxing in a sheltered spot with your favourite drink as the sun caresses your face.
In Norway, every cabin has a wall for lounging in the sun, called solveggen (the "sun wall").
