West Norwegian Fjords

Welcome, fellow adventurers, to the breathtaking West Norwegian Fjords, a UNESCO World Heritage site that beckons with its awe-inspiring landscapes, dramatic cliffs, and pristine wilderness. Join me as we embark on an unforgettable journey through this natural wonderland, where towering mountains meet cascading waterfalls and deep blue fjords carve their way through ancient valleys.

Set sail on a fjord cruise and immerse yourself in the stunning beauty of Norway's majestic landscapes. Cruise along narrow waterways flanked by towering cliffs, past picturesque villages nestled on the shores, and beneath cascading waterfalls that tumble down from dizzying heights. Feel the cool spray of the water on your face as you glide past rugged coastlines and hidden coves, taking in the serene beauty of the West Norwegian Fjords from a unique perspective.

Strap on your hiking boots and hit the trails to explore the West Norwegian Fjords on foot. From gentle walks along the shores of tranquil lakes to challenging treks up rugged mountain peaks, there's a hiking trail for every skill level and interest. Trek to iconic viewpoints like Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) or Trolltunga (Troll's Tongue) for panoramic vistas that will take your breath away, or venture into the heart of the fjords to discover hidden valleys, ancient forests, and alpine meadows carpeted with wildflowers.

3. Wildlife Encounters: Meeting Norway's Natural Inhabitants

Keep your eyes peeled for encounters with Norway's diverse wildlife as you explore the West Norwegian Fjords. Scan the skies for sightings of majestic eagles soaring overhead, watch for playful seals basking on rocky outcrops, and listen for the haunting call of loons echoing across the still waters of the fjords. If you're lucky, you might even spot a glimpse of reindeer grazing on mountain slopes or glimpse a shy fox darting through the undergrowth.

Take time to explore the charming coastal villages and historic sites that dot the shores of the West Norwegian Fjords. Wander through narrow cobblestone streets lined with colorful wooden houses, visit ancient churches and historic landmarks, and immerse yourself in the rich maritime heritage of the region. Learn about the traditional fishing practices, folklore, and legends that have shaped the culture of Norway's coastal communities for centuries, and experience the warm hospitality of the locals firsthand.

As visitors to the West Norwegian Fjords, it's essential to tread lightly and minimize our impact on the fragile ecosystems of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Respect local wildlife and habitats, follow Leave No Trace principles, and support conservation efforts aimed at preserving the natural beauty and biodiversity of the fjords. By traveling responsibly and advocating for sustainable tourism practices, we can help ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy the pristine landscapes and unique experiences that the West Norwegian Fjords have to offer.

In conclusion, the West Norwegian Fjords offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with nature, explore ancient landscapes, and experience the rich cultural heritage of Norway's coastal communities. Whether you're cruising through the fjords, hiking to remote viewpoints, or immersing yourself in local culture, this UNESCO World Heritage site invites you to embark on a journey of discovery and create memories that will last a lifetime. 🏞️🚢 🇳🇴

Geiranger are ready for the wedding: - We are very happy with our royal family

Photo 1: Inger Elise Kolstø from Karmøy and Elisabeth Kallevik Nesheim from Vindafjord have driven for ten and a half hours to catch the big event. They admit that they don't know anyone who is as committed. "We are so crazy, or obsessed, that we travel to all royal events. We have been to royal weddings in Sweden, England and Norway," says Kolstø. The two ladies were also present when Märtha Louise married Ari Behn in Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim in 2002. Then they called themselves the three wise women and sent letters that they could attend the wedding. "We wrote that we had various qualifications that could come in handy, such as crocheting and knitting, and we have various board positions. And don't you think we got a seat? Two rows behind the King's adjutants. It was an adventure," says Nesheim.

Photo 2: Anne Kristin Møller and Vigdis Jordal have travelled from Oslo to Geiranger to witness the wedding. "When the news came, I threw myself on the phone and got one of the last hotel rooms at Hotell Utsikten. That is why we are here," says Møller. "Yes, we will celebrate love. We saw the bridal party yesterday. We saw all the guests, and everyone was just so full of love. For love always wins. We think it is a very important message," says Jordal. The two ladies are wearing crowns on their heads to really get into the mood this Saturday. "In the old days, one had to scare away all the otherworldly creatures to ensure the bride would become happy. I brought this crown, which is made of pearls and beautiful things, to create a bit of excitement around the wedding," says Jordal.

Photo 3: Six-year-old Miriam Berg has donned a princess dress for the occasion. She thinks princesses are very exciting and is looking forward to it. "I'm here to see the princess get married."

Ah man, what a crazy road trip. Went out there to see the famous Trollstigen, the famous "Troll's Ladder" from the Nordic tales. You really can't predict weather in Norway, not out this far to the north/west of where people normally go, so you just roll with the punches. Here's what happened when I went out there and why I must go back after THAT trip.
