This is very iconic Norwegian. (But very far from my everyday life) These are the same kind of horses that the Norwegian vikings used.

Due to a good natural harbor and rich fisheries, Bud grew to become the largest village between the towns of Trondheim and Bergen on the west coast of Norway during the Middle Ages.

 

At the death of King Frederick I in 1533, it was the site of the last independent Norwegian Privy Council, organized by Olav Engelbrektsson, Archbishop of Nidaros. The meeting led to a failed attempt to break away from the Kalmar Union and King Christian III, and claim Norway's independence by rejecting the Protestant Reformation. The council was the last of its kind in Norway for 270 years.

 

In 1838, the whole parish of Bud was established as Bud Municipality. The municipality was reduced in size in 1918 when Hustad Municipality was created

Geiranger fjord in Norway.

Cold, windy, rainy, summer is not the same as in other parts of Europe

We revisited our summer holiday space on the Lofoten from 3 years ago when we first visited the archipelago. Arriving there today with everything closed down and not a single soul in sight was such a special moment. The weather contributed with some fog and especially moody light and the result was a kind of zen landscape that touched our hearts and memories.

During the ice ages, deep valleys and narrow inlets filled with ocean water, creating the natural wonders that the modern world often refers to as fjords. Although there are many fjords across the globe, the ones that grace the Norwegian coastline reign as the most popular because of their astonishing beauty. Hundreds of cruise ships bring tourists to Norway every year to experience these marvelous inlets. However, the mountains and villages surrounding the Norwegian fjords also offer many incredible sights and adventures.
