It is also home to Trollfjord, a tiny, slender fjord that is often thought one of the well-kept secrets in Norway.

  5. Stavanger

• The historic city of Stavanger is situated in southwestern Norway, near the coast of the Norwegian Sea. Established in the 12th century, Stavanger has many attractions to offer including an old cathedral, which was built around the time of the city’s conception, and many other wonderful historical wooden structures from centuries past.

• Odda lies between Norway’s Hardangervidda National Park to the east and Folgefonna National Park to the west. It is home to Trolltunga (the Troll’s Tongue), a long, slender precipice of rock that extends dangerously out from the cliff behind it in a gravity-defying exhibition of natural beauty, with a view that is well worth the adrenaline pump.

  9. Naeroyfjord

It has stunningly huge mountains that ascend strongly up on either side of the water to heights of nearly 6,000 feet, with beautiful waterfalls that cascade down their cliffs into the fjord. Boats and ferries offer amazing advantages for visitors to see Naeroyfjord from the water, where they can observe small farms isolated from the rest of civilization, and spectators can also hire a kayak for a more laggard trip. On land, hiking through Aurlandsdalen provides the best views of the fjord and the nearby mountains.

  10. Myrdal
• Myrdal is a railway station situated high in the Norwegian mountains nearly 10 miles south of Flåm. This wonderful scenic stop is approachable via the Flamsbana railway from Flåm or via the Oslo-Bergen Railway. The open-air Flamsbana train will take its passengers through valleys of writhing fjords lined with tall mountains and switchback roads, from sea level up to Myrdal, with an altitude change of about 3,000 feet over the hour-long journey. It’s one of the most arduous train lines in the world, and the ride past waterfalls, through tunnels, and all over the Norwegian countryside is a never-to-be-forgotten one. Once at Myrdal, tourists can return to Flam or shift to the Oslo-Bergen train for more wonderful sightseeing.
