For The Love of Travel

Despite the fact that I’m not much of a railway enthusiast, I loved this incredibly picturesque train journey from the mountain station at Myrdal on the Bergen Railway, down to Flåm station nestled in the innermost corner of the Aurlandfjord.

 

 

Gustav Vigeland is important in Norwegian art history. His artistic work contributed to promote the position of sculpture in his home country.    

Vigeland’s monumental sculpture park at Frogner in Oslo is the world’s largest sculpture park made by a single artist, with more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and wrought iron. Fantastic to just wander around and appreciate his art.

 

   The Pulpit Rock (604 metres) (Preikestolen) is probably the most recognisable natural attraction in Norway.

The hike to Preikestolen offers unforgettable views, with an easily accessed path.  The hike begins at the Preikestolen Mountain Lodge, and it takes around two hours to reach the top.
