Experience the fantastic view over the Geirangerfjord from Ørnesvingen, Norway
Let the UNESCO-protected Geirangerfjord and its surroundings dazzle you with stunning nature.
Norway is the only country in Northern Europe with wooden churches, called stave churches, from the Middle Ages still intact.
The former mining town of Røros is simply unique - a modern community, in which people live and work right in the middle of an UNESCO Heritage Site.
Experience this dramatic UNESCO-protected fjord from a boat or kayak, or by walking in the surrounding mountains and green valleys.
Autumn means harvest time along the Hardangerfjord. Make sure you try some tasty apples.
The Geirangerfjord is visited by 150 - 200 cruise ships and more than 700,000 tourists each year.
