7 parks & nature spots·best time: Jun – Aug·updated 11.11.2026

Norway's fjords are some of the most dramatic landscapes in Europe, and this page gathers seven of their best-known sights. Above the Lysefjord, Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) and the Kjeragbolten boulder are classic hikes, and Trolltunga juts out high above Lake Ringedalsvatnet. The UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord is famous for the Seven Sisters waterfall, and Vøringsfossen plunges into the Måbødalen valley. Vinnufossen is one of the tallest waterfalls in Europe. The hiking season is short, and the summer months are the time to go.
