Mighty Norwegian.

 

We are in the kingdom who often referred to as the Fjord Norway, which stretches from Jearen in the south to Smøla in the north, where the scenery is magnificent and charming fjords cutting in between the mountains.

 

The world has observed it.

UNESCO included two of the fjords, Geiranger and Nearoeyfjord, in its prestigious list of world cultural and natural heritage in 2005. 437 National Geographic specialists has twice named the west Norwegian fjord landscape to be the world's most exquisite destinations, most lately last fall, and also proclaimed the fjords to be the ideal-preserved World Heritage Website.

 

The Norwegian western fjord might possibly just be Norway's biggest tourist attraction internationally. Almost 1,000 cruise ship arrived in the fjords last year, with over one million visitors. In spite of a decline due to the monetary crisis, the fjord region's hotels, campsites and rental cabins could count nearly seven million overnight stays, of which foreign tourists accounted for 1 third. It tends to be the most intense during the summer months, half of all overnight stays happens then. In recent years, the number of Norwegians on holiday in the fjords has increased. the Fjord region is hardly much less appealing in the summer.
