Norway - The Book

Highlights of a fascinating country
Illustrated book / travel guide

By Dörte Saße , Andrea Lammert and Maria Guntermann

272 pages with more than 350 color illustrations. Hardcover. Large format 27 cm.

Deep fjords, mighty glaciers, the midnight sun at the North Cape, and urban gems like Bergen and Trondheim: Norway's diverse landscapes, with its many national parks on the mainland and on Svalbard, are matched by an equally rich culture. The magnificent KUNTH illustrated book "Norway. The Book" guides visitors through this diverse country with its stave churches, fishing villages, and deep forests.
Relics from the Viking Age bring the past closer, unique stave churches and the largest Gothic cathedral in the Nordic region in Trondheim have been created by the people of this country, as well as one of the oldest democratic constitutions in Europe.
The popular Hurtigruten cruise takes you north along the rugged west coast. Here you'll find Europe's most remote and pristine landscapes. In summer, the sun shines almost continuously over the mighty glaciers, roaring waterfalls cascade into the winding and expansive fjords, and the dense forests are home to tranquil lakes and the occasional moose.
The texts and thematic pages promise fascinating background information and anecdotes, allowing you to completely immerse yourself in this country where nature is still pristine and even cities retain their authentic charm.
