Why Go?
Norway's southern coastline has always drawn Norwegian tourists in summer droves, and
with beautiful coastal villages all dressed in white looking out across an island-studded sea
it's not difficult to see why. The coast also offers a chance to see a totally different kind of
Norway from that of the fjords and high plateaus of the tourist brochures.

The place we love above all others in the region's interior is Rjukan, gateway to some of
Norway's most scenic high country - the Hardangervidda National Park and the spectac-
ularly formed mountain of Gausta. Elsewhere, scattered among a landscape smothered in
forest and decorated in dark lakes filled with beavers, you'll discover idyllic little villages,
wooden stave churches and a rich traditional culture.
