Bergen - Norway

Bergen, in Norway, is the city when it comes to combining city and nature during your motorhome trip through Scandinavia. The Floyen and Ulriken are beautiful mountains that can be reached from the centre by cable car or on foot, but Bergen is also the perfect base from which to visit the immense fjords. In Bergen itself, the district of Bryggen is perhaps the most famous with its trading houses from the Hanseatic era. The entire centre is easy to explore on foot and has several museums, street art and a busy fish market. Bergen may be Norway's second-largest city, but there is certainly no lack of a friendly atmosphere in the centre.

About a quarter of an hour's drive from the city centre you will find Bergenshallen.

- Bergen is full of colourful houses!

Trondheim – Norway

Even from the Norwegian town of Trondheim you can be in nature with your motorhome. The Bymarka nature reserve is about a 20 minute drive away, where you can climb to the top via a beautiful hike. Of course there are also many more hikes along the many lakes in the nature reserve where you can have hours of fun! Besides Bymarka you have the Skarvan og Roltdalen national park. From mountain hut Schultzhytta you can go for the most beautiful walks through these beautiful pine forests, which are mainly known for their unspoilt nature. Many of these trees are over 200 years old! In the town itself, the Fort Kristiansten, which used to protect Trondheim from the Swedish attacks, is certainly worth a visit because of the rich history in which the fort protected the town. From here you have a beautiful view over the city! Several museums, including the Jewish Museum and the Kunsthall Trondheim, are also worth a visit. For some nature in the middle of the city you can visit the botanical garden. With its colourful houses on the waterfront, the city has the atmosphere you expect from the beautiful Norwegian cities!
