In Norway there are 18 National Scenic Routes or Nasjonale turistveger and we were lucky to be in the vicinity of one known as Aurlandsfjellet.
As we were staying in Flåm we began our trip in the village of Aurlandsvangen, on the east side of the Aurlandsfjord and drove towards Lærdalsøyri , a total of 47 kms.
One of the reasons for choosing our campsite was its location on the local bus route into Bergen.
If you intend to spend a few days exploring the city, then a Bergen Card would definitely be worth purchasing. At NOK 260 for a 24 hour adult card, NOK 340 for 48 hour card or NOK 410 for 72 hours it entitles you to free travel on buses in Bergen and the region, as well as the light railway. Plus some free or discounted admission to museums, attractions, tours or cultural events. Continue reading Bergen→
On our long trip back from Bergen on our mission of mercy to get replacement parts for the caravan we decided to break up the last part of the journey by swinging by the Skjervsfossen waterfall that was mentioned on the Hardanger National Tourist Scenic Route. We seem to be turning into waterfall enthusiasts!
