Highs and lows of central Norway

Here's a week of road trip from Oslo, north halfway up the country, and back again, more than 2,000 kilometers all in all. Driving the right route, it can all be a long series of scenic highlights, with plenty of breaks from the tourist crowds that roam parts of this area throughout July and August.

 

Høyt og lavt i Midt-Norge

Det finnes flere måter å komme seg med bil fra Nannestad til Brønnøysund på. Å kjøre i ett gjennom en lang dag er kjedelig. Å fordele det utover en godværsuke midtsommers kan derimot være noe av det flotteste man kan gjøre i Norge. Så da gjorde vi det siste. Her ser du hvordan.
