In the smash hit and bestseller from 2021, Beyond the Beaten Path renowned travel expert Gunnar Garfors took us on an adventurous journey of discovery throughout Norway. In this sequel, we travel to Western Norway in search of exciting and unknown experiences in a class of its own.
It is teeming with spectacular and untouched nature, beautiful architecture, unique accommodations and restaurants that serve world-class food and drink. But even Westerners have much to discover in their own part of the country, because much of what Norway's perhaps most travel-loving author invites us to is a well-kept secret for most people.
With Beyond the Main Road, Western Norway, it is possible to plan a complete Western Norway holiday, whether you want to travel alone, with family and friends or want to take your sweetheart on a romantic getaway. How about a deer-roaring safari, sleeping in hammocks and exclusive designer cabins combined with cider tasting by the Sognefjord on a warm summer evening?
In recent years, we have become increasingly interested in our own country, and there is much to suggest that the trend is permanent. Yes, we will travel abroad again, but perhaps more on long trips, while for shorter trips we will probably choose what is close by. By replacing weekend trips to London, Paris and New York with trips to Ulvik, Solvorn or Bremanger, we not only cut emissions - the experiences can certainly compete with what we are used to.
"The travel tips are varied, humorous and informative, and provide insight both inside and behind the scenes. You not only get to know what time the chef opens the kitchen, but also why she opened it and what her plans are for the future."
“Garfors’ latest book is tasteful in every way and gives good tips for trips and experiences. […] It is entirely possible to plan both day trips, weekend trips and long holidays with these tips – and preferably the book – in your luggage.”
