From the 2005/07/13 to the 2005/07/20 | --From Bergen to Trondheim, Norway of the Fjords | |||||
From Bergen, Norway of the Fjords was approached on the roads along the fjords and mountainside to visit sights round about. | ||||||
The town of Flam is universally known for its tourist train climbing the mountain from Flam to Myrdal with uneven of 850 meters. Its trip offers superb sights and a stop at the cascade of Kjosfossen where the tourist operator organizes a spectacle enough screamingly funny, a dancer on musical background looking as out of the cascade.

Stavkyrkjes are one of the richness of the Norwegian cultural inheritance. Three in 28 were visited of which that of Urnes registered at the World Inheritance of Humanity. It is an architecture and a process of construction starting from tree trunks drawn up vertically constituting the framework of the building. | ||||||

Road RV258 from Hjelle to Grotli is Turistvegen known locally under the name of Gamle Strynefjellsveg. It was built between 1881 and 1894. The snow covered landscapes are sumptuous. In July, it is possible to ski on the Tystigbreen glacier. | ||||||
Road RV63, the road of the Eagles, Ornevegen, and the road of the Trolls, Trollstigveien, constitute the Golden Road which connects the town of Geiranger to other countryside. These very sinuous mountain roads enabled me to take time to contemplate the landscape. | ||||||

From Andalsnes to Dombas, the
road RV9 curves in the green and wooded valley of Lagen with superb
cascades. From Dombas, the road E6 towards Trondheim crosses a
desert plateau. I forked in Hjerkinn to go to see Muskoxen in Dovrefjell. I
took the track to Snoheim at the foot of Snohetta, 2286
meters high. I was lucky to see a herd of muskoxen. | ||||||
At this stage of the journey, Norway of the Fjords was what I discovered of more majestic on the level of the cultural inheritance as well as on the level of the landscapes. | ||||||
