Hiking in the mountains – norwegian tradition
Hiking atop the various mountain ranges in Norway is a loved and cherished activity for Norwegians. It is a part of their heritage, and is almost as natural as going skiing. One of the national newspapers in Norway asked their readers what made them the most proud of being a Norwegian. Freedom of speech was the most important, but closely following up was our strong roots to the Norwegian nature and our love of hiking.
