  • West Norway has some of the best Fjords, Waterfalls and World Class Railway Journeys and we'll
    explore Norway's majestic landscapes in this mini-series over 4 weeks. Starting this weekend.
    From the vibrant city of Bergen, we take a scenic drive to our riverside cabin on the outskirts of Voss, in the vicinity of one of the most famous fjords in the country Hardanger Fjord.
    From our cabin we take an incredible road trip, taking in some of the best cascading waterfalls, Fjords, and cute villages in the area.
    Our journey then takes us to Flåm, a fairytale village situated at the innermost point of Aurlandsfjord, a paradise for nature lovers and photographers. Here, we explore the Flam Railway, a remarkable experience winding through 20 kilometres of sensational scenery, with a steep gradient and hairpin turns that take your breath away.
    There are also a number of spectacular things to see in the areas around Flåm, with waterfalls, hidden vantage points to catch the railway train, tiny villages clinging to the banks of the Fjord, and a hair-razing drive to the famous Stegastein viewpoint that extends 30 meters out from the mountain, hovering 650 meters above the Aurlandsfjord for just jaw-dropping views if you can stomach it.
    Back in Bergen, we share some highlights of this pretty coastal city, particularly Bryggen. A series of colourful wooden buildings lining the waterfront and dating back to the Hanseatic League, a trading alliance that dominated northern Europe from the 14th to the 17th centuries.
    To end our Norway adventures we’ll take another spectacular rail journey from Bergen to Oslo. Also tagged as one of the greatest scenic rides in the world.
    Covering a distance of approximately 496 km (308 miles) and taking around 7 hours to complete, it passes through some of the most stunning landscapes along the way and climbs 1222 metres above sea level to the highest station in the country Finse.
    Join us for lots of amazing scenery, helpful tips and ideas so you can follow our footsteps and make West Norway your next travel adventure.

    Oh how marvelous! I adored your Winter in Canada series. I'm part Norwegian too. Dad's maternal grandmother came to America (Wisconsin) as a child with her parents in about 1840.

    Hi Simon and Will. I know nothing about Norway so I’m looking forward to seeing what you experienced on your travels there. I’m guessing that 7hr railway trip will be something else.

    • @MemorySeekers
      @MemorySeekers  Рік тому +3

      Yes the ride was amazing it’s hard to show that through a train window in a video but hopefully we can find some good highlights. In some ways the Bergen Line was more amazing than the Flåm railway. They have a few very good railway journeys in Norway. I guess the stunning scenery always will make it a winner.
