Around Gudvangen

by evaanna - last update: Oct 3, 2005

Naeroydalen from Gudvangen
Gudvangen is a small port on the Naeroyfjord, which makes an excellent starting point for the journey to Myrdal on the Flamsbana.
Hidden in the deep shadows of the extremely narrow Naeroydalen, it doesn't get much sunshine with the high mountains on both sides. But it's a lovely place with fantastic scenery, the waterfalls rumbling down the mountainsides and the lush green of the meadows in the middle. Wherever you go, the mountains are so close they seem to be hanging over you, too steep to climb but absolutely gorgeous.
We have just re-visited Gudvangen, with more sightseeing of the area and another boat trip on the Naeroyfjord, so you can find some new tips. Pictures from this year's boat trip on the fjord with low clouds hanging over the water have been added to my new Flam page.

Pros:"Excellent starting point for a trip along the Naeroyfjord and then on the Flamsbana, stunning scenery"
Cons:"Not much sunshine"
In A Nutshell:"A great place to visit"

 The Kjosfossen Waterfalls are indeed spectacular as are the fjords and mountains. Staying in charming little cabins seem the way to go in Norway.

 A really spectacular part of your travels in Norway! Your drive to Stalheimskleiv sounds like something out of this world, and what a view from up there! I've almost made it through Norway with you, looking forward to Ireland now!
