The next morning, we set off for Vossestrand, a picturesque destination known for its stunning landscapes and natural beauty (OSLO NORWAY ATTRACTIONS). The drive, though long, was an adventure in itself, filled with several stops to take in the incredible surroundings. Towering mountains, lush valleys, and tranquil lakes lined the road, transforming each stretch into a living postcard. The untouched nature seemed endless, making every turn feel like a new discovery.
As we journeyed on, the scenery grew even more breathtaking. While my fellow travelers drifted into slumber, I found myself wide-eyed, captivated by the view. Every twist in the road seemed to open up a new vista - vibrant green fields, majestic peaks, and serene lakes. By the time we arrived at our hotel, nestled by a pristine lake and framed by towering mountains, it was already late evening. Despite it being summer, a chill lingered in the air, reminding me that nature here holds an ever-present coolness.
By 9 am the next morning, we embarked on
an exciting journey that took us along narrow, winding roads that felt like a
rollercoaster ride through the mountains. Hairpin turns and steep slopes made
the ride exhilarating yet a bit nerve-wracking. There were moments when I
doubted our driver’s ability to navigate the treacherous paths, but his skill
became evident as we arrived safely at the starting point for our Fjord Cruise.
The cruise was an absolute highlight. It took us through the stunning Aurlandsfjord and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Nærøyfjord. The deep blue waters, surrounded by sheer cliffs and snow-capped peaks, left me in awe. The surroundings were so surreal, it felt as if we were drifting through a painting. Each turn of the fjord unveiled new wonders, and despite the hustle and bustle around me, I couldn’t help but be completely enchanted by the natural beauty unfolding before me.
After the Fjord Cruise, we arrived in Flam, where the excitement continued with a ride on the famous Flam Railway. The journey on this historic train far surpassed the cruise. It was a high-octane adventure, zipping through tunnels and passing by steep slopes. I stood at the edge of the train, feeling the wind rush past as we descended deeper into the valley. It was like something straight out of an action movie - thrilling and fast-paced.
The 20-kilometer stretch from Flam to Myrdal offered some of the most incredible views I’ve ever seen. The train darted in and out of dark tunnels, and when sunlight broke through, it illuminated the lush forests and towering waterfalls surrounding us. At one stop, we were greeted by a colossal waterfall that cascaded powerfully down the mountain—a breathtaking sight. The journey was full of surprises, and it easily earned its place as one of the most unforgettable experiences on my travel bucket list (ANGKOR WAT, CAMBODIA).
After the train ride, we continued our road trip, heading towards the charming city of Bergen. The journey was filled with anticipation, and though the adventure was coming to a close, the memories of these incredible experiences would stay with me forever. Bergen, here we come!
