What the most beautiful fjords on earth look like, Norway will give you the answer. In Norway, the beauty of the fjords is not monotonous, or long and narrow, or deep and wide, interspersed with rivers and mountains, and dotted with waterfalls and glaciers.
Forced by the environment, the Viking people have been good at sailing since ancient times and shuttled between the fjords. Now they have developed more ways to enjoy the beauty. When you take the train over the mountains, drive through the beautiful road, overlook the fjord, the road down the mountain ends in the clear and peaceful water, the next journey is the boat time. Therefore, whether it is boating, driving, or train crossing, the nature and beauty of Norway will only follow you all the time. When the altitude changes, the beauty will also change, and there will always be endless enchanting.
The Eagle Road in the Geirangerfjord is considered one of the 12 thrilling roads in the world, but it is actually more of a thrilling road, famous for its 11 "hairpin bends" in succession. It may not be the most beautiful fjord, but as a world heritage site designated by the United Nations, the Geirangerfjord is representative enough. The top of the mountain is covered with white snow all year round, and the boat is in the fjord. The mountains and countless waterfalls on both sides of the river seem to welcome you. In addition to being delicate, it is more dynamic and not rigid.
As far as the Norwegian fjords are concerned, when you see the deepest and narrowest Sognefjord in the world, this trip has no regrets. Including wide and narrow, grand and delicate. It is shocking to see the steep slopes up close and vertical to the 1,300-meter-high peaks. Within the range of more than 200 kilometers in length, there are many tributaries in addition to the width, and the most important is the Aurland Fjord. As a "mountain weapon" to create the beauty of the fjord, you can feel the energy contained in the seemingly static glacier, waiting to create something brilliant again.
The Brixdal Glacier is by no means an independent existence relative to the magnificent fjord. Under this icy and pure huge body, the quietly flowing meltwater turns into a stream and still carves the mountain stream.
There is only the beauty of the fjord, and it is tiring to see too much, and the small town with people is like a beacon in the wild nature, which makes people feel more or less dependent. Then go to watch the picturesque fjords in the background, the towering roofs in the city are in pieces, combined with the mountains and rivers, it is undoubtedly an ideal place to live.
Whether it's the capital, the medieval city, or the city of peace because the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded here every year, Oslo is the gateway to the Land of Fjords. Even with buildings such as the 19th-century Old Royal Palace and City Hall marking Oslo's history as an imperial city and capital, there is always something that is the city's way of expressing itself. For example, in the Vigeland Sculpture Park, the life fragments carefully carved by the sculptor Gustave Vigeland in 20 years, perhaps this is the only place in the world that can answer the question of life. Going deeper into the fjord, Alesund lies in the arms of the fjord, but is known for its uniform style, delicate and multi-colored buildings.
In 2011, the British "Guardian" once included the Atlantic Road in the "World's Best Road Trips" list. The whole journey is only 36 kilometers, traveling along the coast, and several beautifully designed bridges connect several small islands and reefs, ups and downs, winding forward. Both sides have a wide field of vision, and you can see the mountains separated by the sea waiting in front. Before the gentle slope of the bridge, it seems that the road ends here. After the slope, it may be the "road to the sky". Skip the sea on the road and take the steepest railroad in the valley. The abandoned town next to the Aurlandsfjord is called Flåm. The best way to visit the most beautiful fjords from Flåm is to take the most beautiful scenic train in the world.
As one of the steepest standard gauge railways in the world, 80% of the journeys have a gradient of 5.5%. On the way, you climbed steep valley walls, roaring waterfalls, and 20 tunnels. The scenery along the way already includes all the most beautiful things in the valley. It is only an hour away, and the process of relying on the most beautiful nature is too short.
