Norway is on the most beautiful places on earth. I have visited Norway only once during my entire life, but I’m most certainly going to visit again as soon I have the chance to do so. Norway’s breathtaking scenery and nature left me speechless. Luckily there is still much more to see and explore in Norway until the next visit.
Blävatnet Lyngen
Norway provides a lot of variety depending on what you are interested in seeing or experiencing. My top interest has always been the nature and the beautiful scenery. Blåvatnet was one of the most spectacular places I have yet visited, it required a few hour “hike” in a fairly hard going terrain but it was all worth it. The lake gets its color from the melting Lenangsbreen-glacier which contains a lot of mineral particles. Silt in the bottom of the lake and mineral particles travelling with the melting glacier combined gives the lake its signature bright blue color, making it look like a you’re in a fairy tale.
Tips if you want to visit Norway
- Norway is one of the most expensive countries in the world, so it’s good to fill your tank in Finland if you are travelling by car.
- Do your grocery shopping before Sunday, because almost every store is closed on Sundays in Norway.
- Follow the speed limits, as tickets are even more expensive in Norway than in Finland.
- Do a bit of research about the country and the possible destinations you want to explore, as that will save time and your nerves.
