Scandinavian winds. Travel through Norway with Olga Dębicka

29 October (Thursday) at 5.30 pm we invite you to the Library of Knowledge for a meeting with Olga Dębicka as part of the series: Scandinavian winds. This time the journalist will take us to Norway.Norway is a difficult to describe meeting of Europe with the power of nature. Ragged fjords, mountain peaks and the cold north are located in a country inhabited by barely 5 and a half million people, paying incredibly high taxes but not knowing poverty. Henry Ibsen said, “If you want to know the Norwegians, you have to know Norway first. The harsh nature forced resourcefulness, but also aroused respect. Norwegians are still very attached to nature, appreciate it and are able to adapt to it. Therefore, they live in one of the most beautiful countries of the world.What will the lecture with a rich slide show be about? About the Northern Cape Nordkapp, about the fjords - the most “Norwegian” of Norwegian attractions, about Bergen, about the Troldhaugen estate (Troll Hill) of composer Edvard Grieg, about Jostedalsbreen - the largest glacier in Europe, about wooden, medieval churches - stav, about Trondheim. There will also be beautiful shots from the picturesque Lofoten! And for a cultural dessert Oslo: the Munch Museum with the famous “Scream”, a museum on the Fram ship with souvenirs of the great polar bears Nansen and Amundsen, the Kon-Tiki museum dedicated to the expeditions of Thor Heyerdahl on reed rafts in the Pacific Ocean. During the slide show we will see: breathtaking views from the motorcycle expedition. There will also be some active tourism and adventure: kayaking among the ice cubes, rafting on a pontoon, a walk along the glacier. To summarize the lecture: sustainable tourism and ecology in Norway at the highest level.Olga Dębicka — journalist, regular contributor to National Geographic and Traveler for 20 years, reporter, has published from Dziennik Bałtycki to Dialog.
