We just had to share these phots with you, this is the well-known Tvindefossen waterfall close to Voss. On the way between Oslo and Bergen, we stopped and looked at these tourists visiting the famous waterfall Tvindefosen.
The waterfall is a 150 meter drop, it was raining a lot this day and it was very much water in the waterfall. Like the tourists, we went close up to the fall to hear the roar of the waterfall and feel the immense power of the water. We’re very sure most of them got very wet, at least we did. Very wet. Luckily we had extra clothes with us so we got on our new dry clothes when we got back in the car. Very wet, but very fun getting so close to the waterfall this day
As we drove from Oslo to Bergen two days ago, we just saw several tourist that had parked their cars, getting ready for a photo shoot, inside a tunnel.
Maybe it sounds quite strange and dramatic? Well, the story has more to it. The tunnel we´re talking about is the famous Laerdal tunnel, more than 25 kilometers or 15.2 miles long, the longest road tunnel in the world. The tunnel has three stops where tired drivers may stop and the stops is lit with a blue light making it quite interesting.
The Vigeland Sculpture Park is the most visited attraction in Norway. Free entrance. Open all year, all days, all day and night. The angry little boy “Sinnataggen” is the most famous and photographed of the sculptures.
This Saturday we’ll go kayaking in Naroyfjorden which is a part of the great Sognefjord. Updated: We have now included photos from the kayaking trip
The trip brochure says: This trip is designed to show you most of the World Heritage park as we explore the historic area of the Nærøyfjord, which for centuries has been playing an important role linking together western and central Norway. We take you to places only accessible by kayaks and are the only company going here.
Our guide will ensure an unforgettable fun time for all the members of the groups they lead. Kayak sailing (wind permitting). Seal spotting on most days.
This video is from a bike ride in Bergen, with still some snow in the end of April. Mount Rundemanen is easy accessible from the center of Bergen and offers a great 360 degrees view.
This bike ride is filmed with a Canon D10 photo camera on a second bike.
Note: Please pay attention to other cyclists and walkers when you are biking.
This summer we will also visit the famous fjord Lysefjorden, located in south-western Norway, close to Stavanger. While being here we’ll visit the very famous Preikestolen pulpit rock, a 604 meter high steep cliff above Lysefjorden. 604 meter equals 1982 feet. Continue reading →
