1. Lofoten Islands
The Lofoten Islands are undoubtedly some of the most photographed locations in this northern European nation. Once you’ve arrived, you can’t really blame the photo fanatics: charming fishing communities, pointy peaks covered in snow, and abundant bird populations have transformed the Lofoten Islands from a sleepy archipelago to one of Norway’s major outdoor destinations. This group of islands has stunning natural features, including the Trollfjord with its spellbinding lake and towering peaks, and the picturesque Kvalvika Beach.
2. Preikestolen
Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) is one of Norway’s most beloved landmarks. Similar to Trolltunga, the Pulpit Rock is a natural panoramic platform hanging above a deep fjord. From the tip of the Preikestolen, you look down on Lysefjorden, 604 metres below. The surface of the flat rock measures about 25 by 25 metres, which gives you the freedom to stroll around and find unique perspectives for your photos. Hiking up to the scenic spot takes a couple of hours from the parking space at the Preikestolen Mountain Lodge, and requires reasonable fitness. Preikestolen is only a short drive away from the city of Stavanger on the country’s southwest coast.
