The Journey
Bryggen Wharf
Begin your adventure passing by Bryggen Wharf, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the historic heart of Bergen. This iconic Hanseatic wharf, with its colorful wooden buildings, offers a glimpse into Norway's rich maritime history. A bustling hub for centuries, Bryggen is now home to artisan shops, seafood restaurants, and museums, providing a vibrant start to your fjord exploration.
Nordhordland Bridge
Cross the Nordhordland Bridge, a marvel of engineering and North Europe's longest floating bridge without side anchors. While its construction in 1994 unfortunately sealed off the Osterfjord area to cruise travelers, admire its impressive arch construction, designed to withstand the fjord's strong tidal currents. A testament to Norwegian ingenuity, this bridge offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape as you journey deeper into the fjord region.
Vikanes
Pause at Vikanes, a serene fjordside haven where mirror-like waters reflect the surrounding mountains. This protected area offers a tranquil escape from the coastal winds, allowing you to fully appreciate the breathtaking beauty of the Norwegian fjords. Capture the perfect reflection shot and immerse yourself in the stillness of this natural sanctuary.
Mostraumen Tidal Channel
Experience the unique phenomenon of the Mostraumen tidal channel, one of the fjord's narrowest points. Discover the geological history of this area, once a river outlet until a dramatic flood in 1743 transformed it into a tidal inlet. This 'youngest' fjord in Norway is a testament to the dynamic forces of nature, where the tide now rushes in, creating a spectacle of saltwater meeting freshwater.
Mo Village
Explore the picturesque village of Mo, a charming settlement of just 380 inhabitants. Stroll along the waterfront, where modern buildings echo the architectural heritage of Bryggen Wharf and traditional seahouses. Enjoy a 20-minute break to relax, use the restroom facilities, and savor a cup of coffee at the local shops, immersing yourself in the peaceful atmosphere of this fjord-side community.
Hesjedalsfossen Waterfall
Witness the raw power of Hesjedalsfossen, a twin waterfall cascading 63 meters (206 feet) directly into the fjord. Get up close and personal with this natural wonder, feeling the mist on your face as the water plunges into the depths. During the spring months, an umbrella is advisable to fully enjoy the spectacle and stay dry.
Kallestad Bridge
Cross the Kallestad Bridge, connecting Osteroy, Europe's largest inland island, to the mainland. From this vantage point, behold the stunning Veafjord scenery, a roadless wilderness that epitomizes the untouched beauty of Norway. Capture the 'hottest' photo of your tour, with the Kallestad Bridge framing this unforgettable landscape.
Straume
Conclude your fjord adventure with a stop at Straume, the strongest tidal current in southern Norway. Witness the power of nature as the lowering tide transforms the fjord into a raging river, showcasing the incredible force of the water. Observe this impressive display before beginning your return journey to Bergen via the E-16 highway.
