Why Norway?
Norway, the home of Fjords and Trolls
Norway is often called the land of fjords and trolls, and rightly so. Along its rugged coastline stretch some of the world’s most spectacular fjords – deep, narrow sea inlets carved by ancient glaciers, surrounded by towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls. These natural wonders have shaped not only the landscape but also the imagination of the Norwegian people. For centuries, local folklore has told stories of trolls living in the dark forests and misty mountains, watching travelers from behind rocks and trees. These mythical beings have become a symbol of Norway’s deep connection to nature, mystery, and storytelling. Together, the fjords and trolls represent the wild beauty and cultural richness that make Norway truly unique.
