Store Herbern is a small island outside Bygdøy and is completely uninhabited and used as a nature reserve. The hostel is municipally owned and available for public use as a recreation area. To get there you need a private boat or other craft, or you can swim the short distance from the mainland or the neighboring island of Lille Herbern.

As an almost untouched natural area, Herbern offers rare varied vegetation and biological diversity. Nature lovers will enjoy exploring this islet, which also has some great bathing spots with cliffs and boulders and the occasional small beach.

At theSola Strand Hotel, just outside Stavanger lies Nordsjøbadet Spa, offering a wealth of wellbeing and spa treatments.

Nodee Sky is the top floor of two Nodee premises in the Barcode district in the center of Oslo. The lift takes you up to the top of the building at an angle. Here Nodee offers a privileged view of the area around Bjørvika and the future Oslo, which is still under construction.

To really take in the view, just having a drink isn't enough. Nodee is also a restaurant, and not just any restaurant - gold leaf and truffles feature on the menu here, which is first class when it comes to inventive dishes and prices.

The Northern Lights are not something you are ever guaranteed to see, but if you go to Ringvebukta, you do at least get a pleasant trip out of it. The bay is located along Ladestien, and if you don't want to get your feet wet, it is easy to park nearby.

You can enjoy a dip in the pleasant bathing area, relax on the large grass area or explore the exciting boulders. This is a family-friendly place with toilet facilities and benches and a wonderful view of the sea. And if you're lucky enough to see the Northern Lights, you'll have an experience you'll never forget.

At the end of the winter season, you get a chance to join some exciting, demanding and rewarding hikes, and Trolltunga in Røldal is one of these. This hike has a high degree of difficulty and is not recommended for the untrained.

For those of you who manage a trip that lasts eight to ten hours, this is one of the most spectacular things you can do in winter from Bergen. Note that it requires four hours of driving each way, so the trip requires you to set aside three full days - something that is very much worth it.

Oslo Street Food is a collection of 16 food stalls under one roof in the old Torggata bath, in the area around Youngstorget in the center of the capital. This is a district with an ever-increasing selection and variety of food offerings, but Oslo Street Food focuses on a completely separate segment: top-quality fast street food from all of the world's continents.

Even the most discerning visitor will be tempted here, and even the most world-savvy foodies are likely to find something new to try, such as vegan food from the countries along the Silk Road, genuine Phillipino flavors, bread langos from Hungary, wok noodles from Thailand and a Japanese menu of dishes with enigmatic names that you simply have to sample to understand what they are. Pricey but tasty.

For a number of decades, much of Norway's energy has been provided by hydroelectric power created by waterfalls such as Vøringsfossen. Fortunately, not all the waterfalls have been out through pipes, and this is the longest waterfall in the country.

The photogenic side of Vøringsfossen should not be underestimated, and you'll find several great photo opportunities around the waterfall. It is worth noting that you can't get here by public transportation, so you either need a automobile or a benevolent person who can drive you the two to three hours it takes from Bergen.

Right in the heart of Trondheim by Our Lady's Church, is the Trondheim Brukskunstforening and the association's shop - Galleriet. You'll find all manner of arts and crafts here, and the entire operation is run by volunteers.

All members of the association are artists who make the products that are sold in the store. Exhibitions and fashion shows are regularly held here too. If you're looking for something unique and handmade, this is the place to go. You'll definitely find a very special and fun gift for someone you love.

The Royal Palace is located at the end of Oslo's parade street, Karl Johan. The building is surrounded by Slottparken, a pleasant area that is open to everyone - around the clock.

The part that slopes down toward Drammensveien is called Dronningparken, and is the only place where some outdoor neighborhoods are sealed off. On the other side of the park - toward Parkveien and Wergelandsveien - you can often find exhibitions of outdoor art installations. This is perhaps the most popular among visitors, while Oslo's permanent residents have their own fascination with the neighborhoods that point down toward the city centre. This is because it is full of cozy little nooks, which are particularly perfect for when you're on a date.
