Genre travel Comment by William Monsen Vangen As a local here in norway I feel that the foreign tourist never go to the south coast cities between Kragerø and Flekkefjord. This is the prime holiday destination among domestic tourists. it has the quaint villages( mostly from the 1600hundrets), large archepeligos, most stabile summerclimate, good connections to denmark, and all the houses there are only white, The guest harbours are allways filled up with 26-33 feet long boat many families juse as vacation home. When hearing others talk about norway it seems like the prime spots are the fjords, bergen, oslo, lofoten, north cape, and the bergenraolway. But anyway happy travels 2017-06-17T04:02:19Z
