In our September issue, we’ve included a big supplement on outdoor adventures in Scandinavia. To whet your appetite, here are some of the top blogs on hiking and backpacking in Norway, Sweden and Finland.
Note: Because our readership is mostly English-speaking, we’ve concentrated on blogs in English. If we have missed out any you think deserve to be mentioned, please let us know!
