[quote=Anonymous]If you want to go further afield, my trip to Norway decades ago is still a favorite.

I went at 18 with my mom. We started with Oslo as our base and the did a day (hopping on and off the train) of towns to the southeast. Tonsberg had a Viking ship museum and some ruins we climbed up to - so some time outdoors in nature without it being the focus per se. The Lillehammer folk museum similarly is a beautiful walk from the train station.

We then took the “Norway in a nutshell” trip across to Bergen via train and boat which takes you across a glacier and into a fjord. There’s a tram up the mountain in Bergen but we didn’t do that.

We then took a mail boat that stops at villages along the fjords to get from Bergen to Stavanger. It was stunning.

We couldn’t stay in Stavanger because we planned late and there was a festival going on so we went to Kristansand (I think?) where the next day we did a hiking trail before catching a train back to Oslo. It was a great mix of museums and culture and exploration, we were in nice hotels very night (ie no camping) but we found plenty of nature and hiking and time on the water enjoying the breath taking scenery. We are nature people but I think this could work well for others too. [/quote]
