The Norwegian Fjords

Norway’s vast coastline has an uncountable number of fjords, carved out by the ice during the Scandinavian Ice age. The main Norwegian fjords are located at the Western coast of Norway in the Fjord Norway area, cutting their way towards the inland of Norway.

The main fjords are:

• UNESCO Geirangerfjord
• Sognefjord
• Hardangerfjord
• Nordfjord
• UNESCO Naeroyfjord

UNESCO Naeroyfjord

The Unesco Naeroyfjord is one of the most spectacular fjords in Fjord Norway. Due to the steep mountain sides there are no roads along the fjord, hence a fjord cruise is the only way to experience this amazing, narrow fjord.

The Flam Railway

The line’s elevation difference is 863 metres; with ten stations, twenty tunnels and one bridge. The maximum gradient is 5.5 % (1:18), making it one of the steepest railways in Europe. Because of its steep gradient and picturesque nature, the Flam Railway has become one of the most visited tourist attractions in Norway.

Pulpit Rock

Preikestolen (the Pulpit Rock) towers an impressive 604 metres over the Lysefjord. The mountain plateau of about 25 x 25 metres was most probably shaped by the expansion of ice some 10 000 years ago. Water that froze in the crevices in the mountain broke loose large edged blocks of stone that the ice glacier brought along on its course. It was not until around 1900, that the first tourist travelled to the top and Preikestolen as a touristic destination was discovered.

The Arctic Trollfjord

The Arctic Trollfjord is a 2 km long sidearm of the Raftsund between Lofoten islands and Vesteralen archipelago. With its narrow entrance and steep mountain sides, the Trollfjord is really exotic and spectacular.

The mouth of the fjord is only 100 metres wide, and widens to a maximum width of 800 metres. The steep mountains surrounding the fjord are between 600 and 1100 metres high, and a common sight is sea eagles circling around the mountain peaks.

About Hurtigruten

Hurtigruten offers a fascinating mixture of first-class passenger vessels and local working ships. In the home waters of the Norwegian coast, Hurtigruten has been part of the country’s very lifeline for over a century.

Calling at ports most never visited by commercial cruise liners, the ships deliver freight, post and passengers to remote communities, some of which are home to just a few hundred people. Sailing along this beautiful coastline, through magical fjords to enchanted islands, you enjoy a genuine, friendly and unpretentious voyage which is truly Norwegian.

Lofoten Islands

The amazing Lofoten archipelago is located north of the Arctic Circle. The archipelago is known for its exceptional natural beauty, the picturesque Fishing settlements, the Rorbu (Fishermen’s cottages) and the stockfish. Lofoten has a very high density of sea eagles and millions of other sea birds, among them the colourful puffin.

Due to the Golf Stream the climate is mild, despite the latitude north of the Arctic Circle. Between May 25 and July 17 you can experience the Midnight Sun, and from early May the nights are bright.

The Lofoten fisheries: Even before the year 900 AD, the sagas tell about boats being equipped for the journey to the Lofoten and the winter cod fishing season, where the fishermen from other parts of the long Norwegian coast traveled for days and even weeks in open rowing boats and sailing boats to take part in the abundant fisheries of Lofoten, throughout the entire winter season.
Fish is still important for the people at the islands.

About Bergen

Due to the unique geography of Norway, with fjords carving their way from the coast and far into the countryside, Bergen was in the older days quite isolated from the rest of Norway, but on the other hand, the city was open to Europe, with a large fleet of wooden sailships carrying dried cod to the European markets, mainly in Italy, Spain & Portugal, for their bacalao and stoccafisso dishes.

Eventually Bergen was connected to the rest of the country with roads, bridges & ferries crossing the fjords, and the amazing Bergen rail line crossing the mountains from Oslo. But the inhabitants of Bergen still feel somehow disconnected from the rest of Norway; a popular saying in Bergen is “I don’t come from Norway, I come from Bergen”, being very proud of their beautiful city.
