1、 Norway

Norway is a highly developed country, and the petroleum industry is an important pillar of the national economy. In addition, fishery, papermaking, shipbuilding, chemical industry and wood processing are also traditional developed industries. Since 2001, Norway has been rated as the most livable country by the United Nations for six consecutive years, and ranked first in the global human development index from 2009 to 2018.

The road to the hadowell Plateau:

The road of hadanwell plateau is not far from the hadanwell highway line. It starts from eidfjord on the west side and is about 30 km from Granville and Kinsarvik on the hadanwell highway line. The three are triangular. Hardangervidda plateau highway extends from edfiuer to the west along RV. 7 highway to haugast ú L, with a length of about 67 km.

The route is located in Norway's largest national park, the hadowell plateau, and is the largest wild reindeer habitat in Europe. On the west side of the route near edfiuer, you can also reach wallings falls (about 17 km away from edfiuer) via the rugged mountain road of Ma? B ú Dalen.

3. Scenery of the fjord

Norway is a famous fjord country. The fjord is the most representative landscape in Norway. Even geologists call Norway "fjord country". Only after appreciating the continuous tortuous fjords on the west coast of Norway and the fjord scenery constructed by countless glacial relics can we feel the most soul stirring charm of this magical country.

The formation of fjords can be traced back to the glacial period. Due to the erosion of glaciers, many "U" and "V" shaped valleys were formed between steep valleys and cliffs. After the sea water flowed into these bays, the beautiful scenery of the Jedi was formed.

Among the fjords in Norway, the four fjords are the most famous and distinctive

1) Pine fjord

2) Hadowell fjord

3) Galenwell fjord

4) Luther fjord

We only visited Luther fjord because of our limited time.

Luther fjord is located in the south of Norway, with a total length of 42 km. The entrance of Luther fjord is Stavanger on the west coast of Norway. It is an ideal starting point for sightseeing in Luther fjord. You can also take a sightseeing boat from here.

Luther fjord can be visited in one day or in several days. One day's journey is 7:30 a.m. from fiskepiren, first take the bus, then take the boat to visit the Fjord, and then take the bus back to Stavanger along different routes. The return time is about 16:00. We took a one-way boat trip.

Our car is waiting at the dock to get on board:

I bought a ticket online the day before yesterday. I need to input the license plate, model, brand, color and number of passengers.

Then when I got on the ship, I found that it was super simple. I didn't check anything, didn't check tickets, didn't have a dialogue, didn't get off the bus, and didn't even open a window. So I got on the ship.

I understand the function of filling in the information. It's enough for them to check the car information visually! Human and efficient.

The river meanders between abrupt cliffs and towering mountains

Strange mountains and rocks on both sides of the Strait:

Huge rocks stand on both sides of the Strait. Among them, the cliffs at an altitude of 600 meters, brekestern, also known as the sermon stone, stand out of the sea. It's amazing. It's the most worthy place to see. Standing on the huge rock, I feel like I am floating in the air, and I can strongly feel the vigor of nature.

We gave up climbing because of our poor legs, so we had to take a boat to pass underneath and look up

Strange mountains and stones:

4. The three wonders of Norway

Three wonderful stones in Norway: Preaching stone, miracle stone and devil's tongue.

These amazing stones created by nature on the high mountains and cliffs attract countless people to challenge each year. Although standing on the stones, you will feel your legs shaking and your heart beating, but the scenery you see is very shocking, and you will be proud of your success in the challenge!

1) Sermon stone

The sermon stone is located in the south of Norway, in the middle of Luther fjord near Stavanger city. It is a natural giant stone, standing abruptly in the mountains deep in the Fjord, with a vertical drop of 604 meters and a platform of 625 square meters at the top. From the bottom to the top, the cliff is almost 90 degrees vertical to the sea level, which is breathtaking! From a distance, it's spectacular. When you get close, you can fully appreciate the heroism of "seeing all the mountains and small ones" by standing on the platform of the sermon stone and overlooking Lysefjord in the canyon!

The sermon stone is known as "the symbol of the brave, the forbidden area for acrophobia patients!

Because we didn't climb, we shared some photos taken from the foot of the mountain. Here are some online pictures:

2) Miracle stone

Norway's "miracle stone" is the most famous tourist attraction in Norway. This 5 cubic meter stone is stuck between the cliffs. The "miracle stone" is located on the top of Mount selag in Norway, about 1000 meters away from the bottom of the valley. It is a part of Luther Fjord, one of the four largest fjords in Norway.

"Miracle stone" is also a "stone of the brave". If you have the courage to climb up the stone, you can have a panoramic view of the boundless scenery at the bottom of the valley. But for timid travelers, it is necessary to remind them "never look down". If they are not careful, it may cause casualties.

Although we went to Luther Fjord, we gave up this scenic spot because it was very difficult to climb. Now share some Internet pictures:

3) Devil's tongue

The Norwegian devil's tongue (trolltunga), is a huge rock flying across the sea level of more than 1000 meters, known as hadowell's preaching stone, magnificent. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Norway.

This unique rock, formed during the ice age, is located on the cliff of hadangel Fjord, north of Lake ringedalsvatnet. It was eroded by glaciers and fractured by mountains.

As we all know, Norway is symbolized by troll, and the flat and slender rock protruding from the cliff in the mountain, just like the tongue of troll, is hanging out in the air above the lake, which makes people feel scared when they see it, so it gets its name.

Bold tourists will sit on the tip of their tongue and take photos. Under the cliff is the fjord.

Because of physical problems, we gave up the plan to climb to the top, but we planned to drive down the fjord to the nearest rock, and then put the UAV to shoot. As a result, when the car arrived at the shooting point, the road was closed and there was no chance to see the scenery.

Here are some pictures:

Sword in the rock: Stavanger landmark:

It is said that the unification of Norway originated from a romantic story: gyda, the daughter of King Hordaland, refused Harald's proposal unless he could become "the king of the whole Norway". Harald vowed not to trim or comb his hair until he did so, and the reputation of "blonde Harald" scared the enemy.

King Hordaland, as Harald's last opponent in unifying Norway, died in the battle of hafrsfjord with his sons. Gyda had to marry the enemy who killed her father and brother and became his ninth wife. Later, she was abandoned when her husband married the nobler Danish Princess.

Here, in 1983, King Olav unveiled the "sverd I Fjell" designed by the sculptor Fritz R è ed. The sculpture commemorating the battle of hafrsfjord consists of three Viking swords more than ten meters high, representing peace, unity and freedom. Ancient swords found all over the country are fused into the sword, which can be described as "casting swords into Swords".

9. St. Peter's Cathedral in Malmo

This 14th century Gothic church is the oldest preserved building in the city. Malmo was still under the control of the Hanseatic League at that time, so the design of the church was based on the Maria Church in Lubeck, Germany. The interior of the church is decorated with gorgeous murals, an 88 meter high minaret and a small chapel for Medieval merchants. Built in the 14th century, the spire of St. Peter's church is 105 meters high, and people like to hold weddings here. The style is Baltic Gothic. The oldest and most special part of the church is the chapel in the north. The medieval murals on the roof of the chapel originated in the 15th century and were rediscovered in the early 20th century when the church was repaired. The reason is that during the reformation in the 16th century, ludzong pursued the simple religious ceremony and architectural style, and refused such ostentatious decoration. The 15 meter high altar in the church is the largest wooden altar in northern Europe. It was completed in 1611 after four years of elaborate production.
