Thoughts of Scandinavian countries conjure images of fjords, rugged terrain, and perhaps snow. But taking a deep dive into Norway<\/a> with a road trip showed so much of the country\u2019s natural beauty that casual visitors that arrive by plane or cruise ships may not see.<\/p>\n We chose Oslo as our starting point and drove west to the coast and then north to the Lofoten Islands jutting into the Norwegian Sea. Not only were we treated to stunning views that we had only seen in pictures, but we also enjoyed the interactions with the people of towns and fishing villages along the way. And we took advantage of the abundant opportunities for hiking and other outdoor activities.<\/p>\nNorway Road Trip Route: Oslo to the Lofoten Islands<\/h2>\n
