Discovering Norway

As a Norwegian growing up on the west coast of Norway, and with close relatives living in the fjord region, I must say that I am embarrassed to admit that I was more that 25 years old before I discovered how truly spectacular the Norwegian nature is.
I think the only possible explanation why I did not realise this earlier is that I took it for granted; first after staying abroad for a period, as well as working with incoming tourism to Scandinavia, I could see my country with fresh eyes. The spectacular fjords, the majestic mountains, the rugged coastline and the charming coastal towns.
