Norway is a country with stunning landscape, and is known as land of fjords. We visited this amazing country in the summer of 2019, and did a self-driving trip. We understood that driving a car is not the most environment-friendly way to travel Europe; some roads can be narrow and hard to drive. But if you are so much into photography and want to have your own traveling pace, self-driving is the best way to do it. Hiring a car is quite affordable in Scandinavia if you plan ahead.
挪威是一个风景迷人的国家，并且被誉为峡湾之地。 我们于2019年夏天来到这个久已仰之的国家，并作了22天的自驾之旅。 我们明白开车旅游欧洲不是一个十分环保的方式， 有时道路狭窄难行。 但是，如果你对摄影极其热衷，而且想对行程有更多掌控，那么自驾游就是更好的选择。 如果提前计划，在斯堪的纳维亚租车旅行其实是很实惠的。
We started from the capital, Oslo, drove through the areas of South and West Norway and reached Alesund in the center of West Norway. From Alesund we flew to Lofoten in North Norway and drove through the islands for 5 days. The entire journey lasted for 22 days, which was pretty tight in time.
我们从挪威首都奥斯陆出发，驶过挪威南部和西部地区，先到达西海岸居中的奥勒松（Alesund）， 再从奥勒松飞往北部的罗弗敦（Lofoten），自驾环游诸岛5天。 整个旅程耗时22天，时间是比较紧迫的。

Before this trip we referenced a web site which listed 18 National Tourist Routes of Norway (https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/national-tourist-routes-of-norway.html) and incorporated 6 of them into our journey. They are: 1. Hardanger (Steinsdalsfossen, Tyssedal, Odda), 2. Aurlandsfjellet (Aurlandsvangen–Lærdalsøyri), 3. Gamle Strynefjellsvegen (the old Stryne road), 4. Geiranger–Trollstigen, 5. Senja (Gryllefjord–Botnhamn), 6. Lofoten.
行前，我们参考了一个列有18条挪威国家旅游路线的网站（https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/national-tourist-routes-of-norway.html），并将其中6条纳入了我们的旅程。 它们是：1. 哈丹厄 （Hardanger）（Steinsdalsfossen，Tyssedal，Odda），2. 奥兰德菲耶尔 （Aurlandsvangen–Lærdalsøyri），3. 老斯特林山路（Gamle Strynefjellsvegen），4. 盖朗厄尔 - 精灵之路（Geiranger–Trollstigen），5. 塞尼亚-特罗姆瑟 （Senja，Tromso） 6. 罗弗敦
I hope this blog can give you some help if you plan to visit Norway.

6月18日：我們離開奧斯陸，前往位于西海岸的主要旅遊城市斯塔凡厄。
我們从奥斯陆先上E18公路向西，继而接E134向Kongsberg方向行駛。

Not far from Oslo, there is the lovely town of Drammen and Drammenselva (Drammen river). Many residential areas and beautiful parks line the river.

这个工程于1959年完成，当时作为军事设施用于运送人员和物资到山顶的北约广播电台。它的资金来源是美国军事基金，耗资一百万美元，耗时5年。现在它变成了一个旅游景点。

Stavanger is the fourth largest city and an important tour destination in Southwest Norway.
斯塔凡厄是挪威西南地区的第四大城市和重要的旅游目的地。
One major activity in Stavanger is to visit Preikestolen (the Pulpit Rock). The Preikestolen Plateau (the Pulpit Rock) is one of the most famous attractions in Norway. The majestic view from the top has been named one of the world’s most spectacular viewing points.
斯塔凡厄的一个主要的旅游旅游活动是附近的景点布道石（Pulpit Rock）。布道石是挪威最著名的景观之一。爬到山顶可以看到周遭壮丽的峡湾景色，它是世界上受访人次最多的景点之一。
Travel season in this area is open from March to November. To hike the Pulpit Rock, one can take bus (or drive a car) and ferry to get from Stavanger to Preikestolen. The Norled ferry goes from Fiskepirterminalen (ferry terminal in Stavanger) to Tau. There are buses or taxi that take the foot passengers from Tau ferry terminal to the trail head of Pulpit Rock. For driving passengers, the ferry can take large number of vehicles.
该地区的旅游季节从3月至11月开放。要攀爬布道石，您可以乘公共汽车（或开车）并坐轮渡从斯塔凡厄到布道台（Preikestolen）。渡轮从Fiskepirterminalen（斯塔凡厄的渡轮码头）到Tau。有巴士或出租车将步行旅客从Tau轮渡码头载到布道石的步道起点。为驾车旅客，渡轮可以装载大量车辆。
The 40-minutes ferry ride was a lot of fun. The spacious and comfortable cabins, the delicious hot food and snacks, and the breath taking views on the deck left us good memories.
40分钟的渡轮令人兴味盎然，宽敞舒适的客舱，美味的热食和小吃，以及甲板上令人窒息的美景，给我们留下了美好的回忆。

Hiking the Pulpit Rock is moderately strenuous; two hours one way.
攀爬步道石需要中等体力强度，单程二小时。
(For those just wanting to look at Pulpit Rock without to hiking up, there's a daily cruise from Stavanger to Lysefjorden.)
对于那些只一读步道石而不想徒步的游客来说，每天有从斯塔万格到Lysefjorden峡湾的游轮，从山下的峡湾驶过。
The hiking itself was enjoyable. The views were good all the way up and the trail was well marked.
徒步攀爬步道石是个很开心的过程。一路风景怡人，路径标示明确。
The are small lakes and creeks up high on the mountain. The trail was lush after the rain.

Taking a peek
For hiking the rock, it is worth waiting for a day or two for a good weather. In a bad weather, you don’t see any thing from the top.
要想攀爬步道石的话，我认为值得为等一个好天气而停留一-二天。因为如果下雨会使山路艰险，大雾则会遮蔽所有景观。
Views from the top of Pulpit Rock is really rewarding.
步道石顶上的风景真是令人叹为观止！感到不虚此行。
For the convenience of hiking, it is better to stay 1 night near Pulpit Rock before the hiking day. Preikestolen Mountain Lodge would be an option.
为方便起见，最好能再步道石附近村落宿一晚，这样可以节省轮渡的时间。布道台山旅馆是一个选择。

Outside of Stavanger, there is the historical Utstine Monastery that is surrounded by beautiful landscape. Utstine Monastery is one of the attractions of Stavanger and is very worthwhile for spending half a day.
