"A week's hiking in Jotunheimen national park (230 miles north of Oslo) last summer brought me tranquillity and peace. During four days of challenging hiking and wild camping through the area we saw hardly anyone else, having entire lush green valleys and still glacial lakes to ourselves. We were fortunate to have stunning weather throughout and, despite it being July, still had a reasonable amount of snow to traverse."
"We had an amazing family holiday on the Jutland coast neat Aarhus, Denmark's second city. We stayed in a cabin among pine trees and swam every day. We found helpful swimming jetties, making it simple to get into the sea they even have hooks for towels. The beaches were wild and so quiet we often had them to ourselves. For an urban fix, Aarhus was a joy to visit. The Aarhus Kunstmuseum is definitely worth checking out for contemporary art lovers."
A week's hiking in Jotunheimen national park delivered tranquillity and near-solitude, with four days of challenging walking and wild camping, lush green valleys, still glacial lakes, July snow to traverse, and a network of signposted trails and huts maintained by the Norwegian Trekking Association. A family holiday on the Jutland coast near Aarhus included staying in a pine cabin, daily swimming from helpful jetties with towel hooks, wild quiet beaches, and an urban visit to Aarhus featuring the Aarhus Kunstmuseum and lunch at Cafe Folkeven. Stavanger offers Gamle Stavanger's shops and bars, Boresanden surfing and saunas, Preikestolen fjord viewpoints, and a ferry to Flor og Fjre's tropical gardens.
