Visit Southern Norway

The southernmost part of Norway, Sørlandet (the south land) stretches from the coastal areas with its many rocky islands and skerries via an inland belt with forests, lakes and rivers, to the mountains of Setesdal, a popular hiking and skiing region.

One of many characteristic features of the southern coast is the white string of pearls, the many towns, villages and outposts dotted along the coastline, with their white-painted houses and narrow streets.
