I have a cottage up in the central lower mountains in Valdres, Norway. And from the terrasse I can sit down and enjoy the view I have to the little lake a bit away. Surrounded by trees and the green nature now in the summer time.
With some distance to other neighbours and urbanized areas it is a pleasure to enjoy the sounds of the nature.
The wind, the birds and some bypassing sheep's and cows - even moose, deer's and a seldom time a bear can be spotted.
For sure a good place to stay some days and weeks within the year.
