Rugged is putting it mildly when it comes to 80 percent of Norway. Historically, it was a challenge to live here. That's why Vikings ventured south and so many emigrants left for America.

Intriguing Dresden, Germany, winds up on far fewer American itineraries than it deserves to. Don’t make that mistake.
