Rogaland the Jewel of Norway

Located on the Southwestern coast of Norway the county of Rogaland is a miniature of all that makes Norway the most beautiful country in the world. This video is a musical portrait of Rogaland. It explores the spectacular beauty and tranquility of this area while featuring a soundtrack of traditional Norwegian music by Norway's top performers and the haunting compositions of world renowned Secret Garden, winners of the 1995 Eurovision Song Contest. This video enters the deep fjords that cut through the steep mountains where the water is so clear the boats appear to be floating on air. It enters the countryside where the only sound is a brook bubbling through the moss covered banks and the distant bells on the grazing sheep. It visits the thriving yet cozy town of Stavanger with all its richly painted wooden buildings. It explores the coast where rich farmland merges with the North Sea. Filmed and produced by Jan K. Skugstad, a native of Rogaland, the deep affection he has for this area is evident in this artistic and sensitive production.

Touring Southern Norway

Norway is a land of unparalleled beauty. The landscape is varied. In the space of an hour you can go from austere, snow covered rock plateaus to fertile valleys cradled between steep mountains. You may continue on to tidy villages hugging the rocky coast to rich fields surrounding an immaculate barn yard. The colors are rich and vibrant both in nature and in the colors chosen for the homes. Everything is clean and kept like a treasure. It is also surprisingly easy to travel.

In this DVD we take you on a trip beginning in the town of Stavanger. We follow the coastline around the Southern tip of Norway and up to Telemark where we head west across the rugged central mountains. We travel by motorhome and bring you the images just as you would experience them if you were there. This is the next best thing to actually touring Norway yourself and a great way to acquaint yourself if you plan a future trip of your own.
