An excursion through the Norweigan Alps

Here is our cute little tourist train stopping at one the many waterfalls along the route. Oh yes, this cute little tourist train descends over 1000 meters in a little more than 10 miles - and climbs back up again. Truly,it's the little engine that could!

The Waterfall and the Huldra!

The Huldra!

Who is that mysterious and beautiful woman who is appearing magically by the waterfall. Could it be - yes it is - the legendary beauty known as "the Huldra" who lures handsome men to their certain death in the falls - or am getting her mixed up with the Lorelei?

I think being a Huldre would get pretty boring.... luring tourists into the falls..... i mean really? a couple of times would be funny. but for years? not to mention loneliness up there. haha. good page!
