Sognefjordis one of the longest and deepest fjords in Norway. The 200+ km waterway cuts inland from the coast north of Bergen, reaching the foot of the Jotunheimen and Jostedalsbreen national parks. Glacial meltwater carrying rock flour flows into the fjord, giving some of its branches an emerald green hue. The Nærøyfjord branch is the signature of the entire fjord: at its narrowest point, it is only approx. 250 m wide, with cliffs rising almost vertically from the water, and it has been listed as a World Heritage Site.Sognefjordis over 1,300 m deep in its deeper sections, with mountains on both sides rising from the water. Traveling through it by boat, you see steep cliffs when looking up and deep fjord waters when looking down.Norway · Sogndal
Hardangerfjorden

Hardangerfjorden

4.3/5
92 reviews
Hardangerfjorden stretches for nearly 180 km, extending from the Atlantic coast south of Bergen deep into the inland hinterland. Unlike many stark fjords, the climate here is mild, and apple and cherry orchards stretch across the hillsides on both banks. During certain seasons, the blooming flowers on the mountains contrast with the remaining snow on the peaks, creating a unique natural view. The views along the fjord are rich and diverse, featuring not only magnificent cascading waterfalls but also numerous waterscapes where visitors can walk through or view from a distance. The surrounding cantilevered viewing platforms and cross-sea bridges provide visitors with expansive vistas. When driving across the bridges or touring by boat, the magnificent scenery of the mountains and waters intertwined on both banks is fully visible. There are many scenic parking spots and trails along the route. Self-drive tours, boat cruises, or kayaking are all common ways to explore. The rich glacier and mountain resources also provide diverse exploration options for outdoor enthusiasts, bringing an unforgettable fjord nature experience to visitors who have traveled from afar.Norway · Kvam
Flåm

Flåm

105 reviews
Flåm is a fjord town in western Norway, located at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord, and surrounded on three sides by steep mountains. This town, with only a few hundred permanent residents, is a gateway to the fjords: large cruise ships can dock directly at the pier, and railways, cruise boats, and roads converge here. The town's signature attraction is the Flåm Railway. The train departs from the platform by the fjord, climbing about 20 km to the Myrdal station at an altitude of about 865 m,where it connects with the Bergen Railway. The entire line features steep gradients and continuous tunnels, with a short stop at Kjosfossen waterfall, allowing passengers to get off and gaze up at the waterfall cascading from the cliff top. For a different perspective, you can take a cruise boat from the pier into the Naeroyfjorden, flanked by cliffs on both sides, or head to the Stegastein- LOOKOUT, which hangs about 650 m above the Aurlandsfjord, to take in the entire fjord and the town below. There are bicycle rental points in town. You can ride downhill from Myrdal along the old mountain road built by railway workers back to the town, or take a leisurely ride through the valley. If you get tired of exploring, why not try the local specialty, brown goat cheese, at a restaurant? The town is small and can be explored on foot.Norway · Flam
Akershus Fortress
No. 14 of Best Things to Do in Norway

Akershus Fortress

4.4/5
141 reviews
Akershus Fortress features an exquisite Renaissance style. Inside, you can visit various halls and royal chambers, with furnishings that retain an ornate, vintage atmosphere. The castle church still serves ceremonial functions, and several monarchs and royal family members are buried in the crypt. The site occupies a commanding position, and climbing the ramparts offers a panoramic view of the fjord and the harbor on the opposite bank. The surrounding lawns are spacious, making it a great place for walking and taking photos. As an important historical fortress, the changing of the guard ceremony is a long-standing feature. The fortress area also contains several exhibition venues, which are rich in cultural and historical atmosphere and provide visitors with excellent views and a great walking experience.Oslo · 73.5 km from Tonsberg

Lake Vanern

5.0/5

Lake Vanern is located in west-central Sweden, spanning the provinces of Värmland and Västergötland. The shoreline is long and winding, with countless islands and reefs scattered near the shore, forming a vast inland freshwater archipelago. In the open areas, the water and sky merge, and the wind whips up waves, giving it the feel of an inland sea. Small lakeside towns like Mariestad are dotted along the shore, and fine sandy beaches are hidden among the near-shore islands. The Djurö Archipelago in the center is home to Djurö National Park, consisting of dozens of islands and reefs. It is one of Sweden's least visited national parks, suitable for boat tours, birdwatching, and camping. Kinnekulle on the southeast shore is a flat-topped mountain with an elevation of approx. 300m. The view from the top is expansive, offering a panoramic view of the archipelago. It is also home to landlocked salmon and trout that spend their entire lives in freshwater, making fishing a popular activity. Swimming, sailing, and kayaking along the lakeshore are also popular in summer. The eastern end connects to the Göta Canal, where you can continue your journey eastward by boat and experience a classic canal trip.Sweden · Mariestad Municipality

Voringsfossen is located in Måbødalen valley on the edge of the Hardangervidda plateau. The waterfall has a total drop of approx. 182 m, with 145 m being a vertical free fall. The water plunges from the edge of the plateau into the deep canyon, with mist and roaring sounds echoing through the valley. Several viewing platforms and trails have been built at the top of the waterfall. One of them is a staircase bridge that spans the canyon above the waterfall, offering a panoramic view of the main waterfall and the deep valley. The viewing platform on the side of Fossli Hotel also offers a wide view. If you want a different perspective, you can also follow the old road in Måbødalen down to the valley floor to look up at the water cascading from the cliff top. This old road, which opened in the early 20th century, is still open for walking or cycling. Along the route, there are still thousands of stone steps built at the end of the 18th century to cross the plateau. The section where the waterfall is located belongs to the Hardangervidda route of the Norwegian Scenic Routes.Norway · Voringsfoss

The Sognefjord, located in southwestern Norway, is the world's narrowest and deepest fjord, stretching 204 kilometers and reaching a maximum depth of 1,308 meters. Its banks are lined with peaks, the highest reaching over 2,400 meters above sea level. It has been designated a World Heritage Site. Because of its fame and touted by travel agencies as a unique landform not found in China, a visit to the fjord has become a must-see destination on any Nordic trip. Besides the mountains, the fjord is also most famous for its three major rock formations: Pulpit Rock, Kronstadt, and Devil's Tongue. However, we were ordinary people with no outdoor adventure experience, little interest in hiking, and no climbing skills. We also didn't have the necessary hiking shoes or gear. Therefore, when we visited the fjord, we had no plans to hike to the three major rock formations, as many outdoor enthusiasts do. We simply drove around the fjord and took a boat ride to admire the scenery. That was all. To be honest, while the fjord's landforms are said to be unique to China, in reality, from the outside, they resemble those of China's Three Gorges. Both are flanked by steep, rocky mountains, while deep canyons offer a serene expanse of clear water. The only difference is that the water in the Three Gorges is freshwater from the Yangtze River, while the water in the fjord is seawater. The Sognefjord is flanked by steep, rocky mountains, with vegetation varying from dense to sparse. The coastal highway often winds through long caves, often nestled within caves, offering only occasional glimpses of the fjord. Some caves stretch for tens or even twenty kilometers. Sitting in a car, staring out at the pitch-black caves, driving through them can be quite claustrophobic for those with claustrophobia. After much difficulty, we emerged from the caves, occasionally discovering small, flat plains amidst the mountains, dotted with verdant grass and dotted with villages and towns. The autumn trees are a vibrant hue of yellow-green, gold-red, and red. The autumn spirit is in full swing. In late autumn, the fjord experiences occasional light rains, sometimes heavy downpours. Even when we happened to stop at a small rest stop, the town was still drenched in drizzle, making it so wet and damp that it lost interest in exploring. Even the fjord's famous photo-op town was small, with little to see besides a few small outdoor gear shops, a small supermarket, and a cafe. Looking out at the peaks in all directions, I could see springs and waterfalls cascading from the fjord's cliffs, lush vegetation, and a vast expanse of water. But the surroundings were shrouded in a drizzle, making them difficult to see clearly. The entire five or six hours to the fjord were spent in the car. The scenery from the car window was indeed beautiful, but without being able to fully appreciate the scenery, I felt less interested. Perhaps we went at the wrong time; in late September and early October, the entire fjord was covered in rain. The wind was strong, and the drizzle alternated between light and heavy rain, making it impossible to hold an umbrella. Therefore, a jacket, rain pants, and hiking boots were essential for the trip. Looking at all kinds of scenery in the rain, they all looked gray and misty. Even though I looked at them and felt them, there was nothing amazing about them.

There is the famous Atlantic Ocean Coast Highway here. It is 8.3 kilometers long and was opened to traffic in 1989. It consists of 8 bridges, spanning between small islands and reefs. You can enjoy the natural landscape of each small island along the way. When I visited in early June last year, the road was closed due to the filming of the latest 007 movie. I missed the most magnificent section of the highway and could only take a walk and take photos nearby!

Winding clear and abundant streams, lush forests, white waterfalls hanging high, fresh grass, red houses scattered in between, and characteristic wooden churches, this is a small town called Flem. In September 2013, I traveled to Northern Europe by train from Oslo to Myrdal, and then took a 1-hour scenic train to arrive. Finally, I stayed for 2 nights. It rained that day, and white fog filled the mountainside, like a holy wonderland. The next day, the sun was shining brightly. I rented a car and rode on the road of the green mountains and countryside. There was a train passing through the forest. Except for the birdsong and the gurgling stream, no other sound could be heard. There are apple orchards in front of the beautiful villas of every household. There are 10 routes for cycling and hiking. It is a must-visit stop for the epitome of Norway.
