The beautiful Romsdalen Valley

The Norwegian author Jo Nesbø has described the landscape here with this quote: "He told about Åndalsnes, a small village in Romsdalen surrounded by high mountains, where it was so beautiful that his mother always said that this was where God started when he created the world, and that He spent so much time on the nature in Romsdalen that the rest of the world had to be made in a hurry to be finished by Sunday." Out the window to the right, you can see two valleys converging. The Rauma Line, which we are on now, goes up Romsdalen, the valley to the left. To the right, you can see into Isterdalen, the entrance up to Trollstigan.
