You step onto an air-conditioned coach in Kristiansand and the city falls away — silver lakes, spruce stands and low, rolling hills slide past the windows as your guide outlines why the moose is called Norway’s “king of the forest.” The bus hums along country roads; sunlight breaks through a stand of pines and you can feel the landscape shift from coastal town to quiet farmland.
