Sørlandet – the Norwegian Riviera – is the Norwegians’ favourite summer place, and has much to offer international visitors as well. The keywords for this region are summer, sun and blissful holidays. Sørlandet evokes happy memories in you, always making you want to return. With over 300 photos and solid and informative texts, the reader is introduced to the archipelago park in Southern Norway, from Langesund to Lindesnes. It deals with nature, boating, fishing, flora, summer and experiences.

“Mile upon mile of tiny rocky islands and skerries, hidden bays and coves, tempting sandy beaches, white houses and clear glistening fjords.”
