Renowned for its striking scenic beauty, offering us rugged coastline, dramatic mountain ranges, stunning fjords and vibrant cities. Our stay in Oslo, the oldest of the Scandinavian capital cities, is home to some of Europe’s finest museums. We visit the famous Viking Ship Museum and discover more about Viking tradition and its importance to the country.

Agriculture

Norway has a strong farming tradition. Livestock forms an important part of agricultural production of the country along with many cereal, root and fruit crops. We take the opportunity to make a number of farm visits and find out a little more about the realities of farming in a country that often has a very harsh climate and high seasonal contrasts. The Handangerfjord area is well know for its fruit production and we visit a small family run orchard, where they make all kinds of fruit products to sell from their farm shop and at local markets.
