Vestlandet: Picturesque landscapes





This part of Norway is mesmerisingly picturesque! So this travelogue  is just a picture log! I don't want to engage into words for the hypnotising landscapes. Here goes:

On the way to Bergen: in the Bergensbana

Fjords on the way to Bergen

Stave church: One of the very old viking era churches made out of wood. The symmetric structures with curly ends if unique to these churches.
A short hike to Floyen hill
Floyentoppen shows an amazing view of the quaint city Bergen



Cobbled street in Bergen.

Bergen from top!
The Skomakerdiket lake landscape at the top of fløyen hill.


Bryggen: The old business hub from the german era. Just in front of the sea.

Bryggen: Just few minutes apart. The over-shade came sooner!


Bergenhus Fortress, The fort which only fought one battle as the king of Bergen has been a peace loving governor!
Typical Bergen houses from the fortress
Catholic church, Bergen: Johanneskirken

A few landscapes from the Gudvangen-Flåm cruise tour:
Still waters, tiny towns, plenty of waterfalls, onset of colourful autumn and enchanting experience.




Flåm: from the cruise



Flåmsbana

From Flåm to Myrdal by Flåmsbana! Flåmsbana is the world heritage rail line between remote hilly towns which are just 20km apart, with unbelievable natural beauty!











Lysevegen: The famous zigzag road of Norway with 22 turns!


Kjosfossen: The hidden gem on the way from Flåm to myrdal.
Blue-green waters sprinkling the  freshness in the air!


On the way back home.. From Myrdal to Oslo.
Coming back home with heart charged up with nature!
