Gudvangen

This journey is packed with world class visual experiences, and they begin already, here in Gudvangen the innermost part of the arm of the Nærøyfjord. As you can see, the village is not very big but is beautifully enclosed by majestic mountains with beautiful, lush valley sides. The beautiful Nærøydalen runs inward to the village of Stalheim and follows the Nærøydal river with its countless spectacular waterfalls and small streams until it eventually flows out here at Gudvangen. Do you like Viking stories? You can also take a visit to the Viking Village of «Njardarheimr» and learn how the Vikings lived. Guests can wander around, try their hand at axe throwing or archery, have a taste of authentic Viking food and experience the distinctive odours of tar and bonfires. The journey between Gudvangen and Flåm is regarded by many as the world’s most beautiful boat ride. It is doubtful that the motorists who drive the same stretch through the tunnel to Flåm get the same experience, but the journey is nevertheless much faster. At 11.5 Kms long the tunnel is the third longest in Norway and makes the drive between Bergen and Oslo ferry free.
