If you love wild nature, like I do. You'd take some days of to hike in the mountains.
The Norwegian Mountain Touring Association has marked out several trials. Some trials are tougher than others so ask before you start walking. You should also contact the association before arriving in Norway. You can sign up for membership and get discount on traintickets from NSB (Norwegian National Railwais, actually: you'll get a discount on a customer card which again gives discount on every ticket you by for yourselves). If you understand a little bit norwegian you should also get hold of the book 'Til fots i Norge' given out by The Norwegian Mountain Touring Association. This book contains descriptions on which trials to try out, which cabins you can enter and how to get the keys.

Address: Any of the mountains in Norway
Directions: All of Norway exept eastern Norway around Oslo and the sothern part of the Swedish border. The best is (in my oppinion) Jotunheimen.
