Family Fun in the Norwegian Fjords | 9 Days / 7 norway.nordicvisitor.com FAMILY FUN IN THE NORWEGIAN FJORDS ITINERARY DAY 1 DAY 1: WELCOME TO NORWAY Arrive to Bergen Airport. For an easy and comfortable way to get to your hotel in central Bergen, we are happy to arrange a private transfer for you. Despite being Norway’s second largest city and a major cruise port, Bergen has retained the atmosphere and charm of a small town. Here, you will find the old wharf of Bryggen—a UNESCO World Heritage site, centuries-old houses, a vibrant fish and flower market and an interesting range of museums. For a good overview of Bergen, take the one-hour “mini-train” sightseeing tour through city centre, including such sights as Maria Church, the Rosenkrantz Tower and King Håkon’s Hall as well as a panoramic view of the city from Fjellveien Road. If you arrive early, we recommend getting the Bergen Card, which provides free travel on all public transport, free admission to museums and sites and discounts on other attractions, sightseeing tours, restaurants and shops. Spend the night in Bergen. Attractions: Bergen DAY 2 DAY 2: BEGIN YOUR FJORD ADVENTURE TODAY Collect your rental car in the morning in Bergen and start your self-drive into the Norwegian countryside. Enjoy the day as you drive toward the scenic Hardangerfjord, the second longest fjord in Norway. The fjord is famous for its fertile ground, and the mountainsides are home to plenty of apple trees. In the spring, the trees are in full bloom but if you are travelling during the late summer or early autumn, you will need to stop at one of the fruit selling booths, and buy some fresh apples! You will then head to Norheimsund, where we recommend making a stop at Steindalsfossen – where you can walk behind the wondrous waterfall. Just remember to bring a jacket! Spend the next night in the Hardangerfjord area. Driving distance: 77km / 48 miles Attractions: Hardangerfjord, Hardangervidda National Park, Norheimsund, Steindalsfossen 1/4 DAY 3 DAY 3: FROM FJORDS TO GLACIERS After a night by the fjord, it is time for an early breakfast before you drive to Tørvikbygda, where you will board the ferry at 8:40, that takes you over the fjord to Jondal. You arrive in Jondal in good time before your next adventure – a thrilling glacier hike on the Folgefonni Glacier. You will meet your guides at 10:30 by the Fonna Glacier Ski Resort, a 19 km drive from the village. That is actually a summer ski resort, where you can ski during the summertime! But today you are heading out to the glacier on your own two feet. Juklavass Glacier consists both of calm flat ice and more challenging crevasse areas. In the middle of the tour you will take a break to enjoy the view over the North Sea and the Rosendal alps, while the guide tells you stories about the history and culture of the region. After the glacier hike you might want to take a short detour to Rosendal, where you will find Baroniet in Rosendal, a manor from 1665 which is surrounded by lush green gardens. After a stroll through the gardens, and perhaps some refreshments in one of the restaurants in the manor itself, it is time to return to Norheimsund the same way that you came, by taking the ferry over from Jondal to Tørvikbygd and then up toward your hotel. If you are not up to doing the glacier hike, you can spend the day exploring the fertile Hardangerfjord area. You might want to do a roundtrip tour by heading south to Odda via Jondal, but Odda is located in the southernmost part of the fjord. Then from Odda you can drive up along Sørfjorden, which is one of the innermost branches of the Hardangerfjord, towards the Hardangerfjord Bridge. You will cross the fjord by driving over the bridge and then driving west out along the fjord, closing the circle back to Norheimsund. Spend the next night in the Hardangerfjord area. Driving distance when doing glacier hike: 50 km / 31 miles Driving distance when exploring Hardangerfjord: 185 km / 115 miles Attractions: Folgefonna National Park, Hardangerfjord, Odda, Rosendal, Steindalsfossen 2/4 DAY 4 DAY 4: FROM ONE FJORD TO ANOTHER Today it is time to head from the second longest fjord in Norway to the longest one. Drive east along the coastline of Hardangerfjord heading towards the Hardangerfjord bridge and Eidfjord. We recommend taking a detour to Eidfjord and up to Vøringfossen, with its majestic fall of 182 metres. After your visit to the waterfall head back to Hardangerfjord Bridge, and enjoy the view from the other direction. Then you will continue north, driving through Voss on your way towards the innermost parts of Sognefjorden, Norway’s longest fjord. Spend the next two nights in the Sognefjorden area. Driving distance: 223 km / 138 miles Attractions: Eidfjord, Kinsarvik, Lofthus, Vøringfossen DAY 5 DAY 5: THRILLING DAY ON THE FJORD Spend the early part of your day exploring the Sognefjorden area. Perhaps you’ll want to do a roundtrip journey on the Flåmsbana train, one of the steepest railways in the world as it climbs 900 metres up to Myrdal. There are also a number of hiking trails surrounding the village of Flåm. Then in the afternoon it is time for an adventure on the fjord! The whole family will be joining an exciting Rib safari on the two innermost branches of Sognefjorden: Nærøyfjord and Aurlandsfjord. The Nærøyfjord branch is one of the most scenic fjords in Norway and has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 2005. You will venture out on the fjord in the Rib boat, and along the way the guide will tell you stories about the area and also stop to spot the animals. The tour includes a stop in Undredal, where you will be treated to a goat cheese tasting, with cheeses locally made. In Undredal there are only 85 human inhabitants, while there are 450 goats! After your stop in Undredal you will head back to Flåm with the Rib boat. Spend a second night in the Sognefjorden area. Attractions: Flåm 3/4 DAY 6 DAY 6: BACK TO BERGEN Today it is time to head back to Bergen. We suggest that you drive along Sognefjorden, instead of taking the shortest route back to town. Along the fjord you will find the village Balestrand, which is known as the artist village with many small galleries and working spaces for artists. The church in town, St. Olaf’s church, might be familiar to the youngest members of the family, as it inspired the church in the Disney film Frozen. Then from Balestrand you will continue along the fjord towards Lavik, where you will cross the fjord with the ferry to Oppedal. Then from Oppedal you will drive south to Bergen, where you will return your rental car and spend the next 2 nights. Driving distance: 255 km / 158 miles Attractions: Balestrand, Sognefjord DAY 7 DAY 7: LEISURE TIME IN THE CAPITAL OF THE FJORDS Spend a full day at your leisure in the capital of the fjords. We recommend a visit to the top of Fløyen with the Fløybanen funicular, and at the top you will find the local Trolls. From the top you will have great views over Bergen but also a number of easy hiking trails for all ages. The hiking route to Skomakerdiket (Shoe maker pond), is an easy trail that takes only an hour for example! If you are an animal lover you should visit the aquarium in Bergen, located on Nordnes in city centre. The aquarium can be reached either on foot or by taking the shuttle boat from the fish market in the city centre. At the aquarium you will find all kinds of animals, for example seals, fish, sharks and penguins! Spend another night in Bergen. DAY 8 DAY 8: DEPARTURE DAY! For transportation to Bergen-Flesland Airport, you can take the airport bus (Flybussen) from one of the various departure points in the city centre or you can take a taxi directly from your hotel. If your flight is in the afternoon, you have the opportunity to do some last-minute shopping, visit one of Bergen‘s museums or enjoy a relaxing lunch at a café after this amazing journey. Attractions: Bergen Whatever your needs, we are here to help. If you have any questions about our packages or services, please do not hesitate to contact us.

  • Metal Pollution Around Norwegian Industries Studied by Analysis of Naturally Growing Moss Samples 2015 Survey

O-115067 AUTHOR(S) QUALITY CONTROLLER Eiliv Steinnes and Hilde Uggerud Eiliv Steinnes (NTNU) and Hilde Uggerud (NILU) Wenche Aas REPORT PREPARED FOR CONTRACT REF. Miljødirektoratet v/Malene Vågen Dimmen M-715|2017 ABSTRACT On request from the Norwegian Environment Agency, a survey of atmospheric deposition of heavy metals around industrial enterprises in Norway has been carried out. The participation was voluntary and 22 industries located at 17 different sites financed their own participation. The survey is based on analysis of samples of naturally growing moss collected around the enterprises during the summer of 2015 and includes 57 different elements. For a majority of the sites this survey is a follow- up of corresponding surveys carried out in 2000, 2005, and 2010. In general the results show that deposition of heavy metals close to the industries depends closely on the industrial processes used as well as the local topographic and meteorological conditions. The results are evaluated relative to corresponding background levels in moss in parts of Norway with low impact of air pollution. Like in previous surveys, the generally most polluted industrial location is Mo i Rana, followed by Odda.

Welcome to the Tre Lag Stevne in South Saint Paul, Minnesota. We were last in the Twin Cities area in 2009 in this same location. In a metropolitan area of this size it is not as easy to see the results of the Norwegian immigration as in smaller towns and rural communities. But the evidence is there if you look for it. This year’s speakers will tell the story of the Norwegians who contributed to the richness of American culture through literature, art, architecture, politics, medicine and science. You may recognize a few of their names, but many are unsung heroes who quietly added strands to the fabric of America and the world. We hope to astonish you with the diversity of their talents. Our tour will take us to the first Norwegian church in America, which was moved from Muskego, Wisconsin to the grounds of Luther Seminary,. We’ll stop at Mindekirken, established in 1922 with the mission of retaining Norwegian heritage. It continues that mission today. We will also visit Norway House, the newest organization to promote Norwegian connectedness. Enjoy the program, make new friends, reconnect with old friends, and continue to learn about our shared heritage.

    Meir sjøaure i vassdraga kring Hardangerfjorden Restaurering og habitatforbetrande tiltak i sjøaurevassdrag langs Hardangerfjorden. Sven-Helge Pedersen «Sjøaure Hardangerfjord» - for meir sjøaure i vassdraga kring Hardangerfjorden Ein interesseorganisasjon for grunneigarlag, jakt- og fiskelag i dei 10 kommunane kring Hardangerfjorden. Overordna mål å arbeide for å styrke lokale bestandar av laks og sjøaure i fjord og vassdrag. Sjøauren – ein historisk viktig art for Hardangerbygdene A. F. Mockler-Ferryman si reiseskildring “In the Northman’s Land” (London 1896): Om Eide/Granvin: There is very fair salmon and trout fishing, and, when the river is not let, the guests at the hotel can try their luck, though, owing to the numerous salmon traps, the chances are against the angler taking any large salmon, but, still, the sea-trout are not to be despised.. Om Eidfjord: ..This, then, is the time for the sportsman, who, with a boatman af any intelligence and with the proper minnows, should manage to kill a goodly number of sea-trout in the afternoon. .. Apart from salmon fishing, I know of no greater excitement (in a mild way) than to try conclusions with a heavy sea-trout and a light rod. Tiltak for å betre sjøaureproduksjonen i 28 vassdrag Rådgivende Biologer rapport 1781 - 2013 “Forslag til tiltak for sjøaure i utvalgte vassdrag ved Hardangerfjorden” ✓ I 2012 og 2013 vart 28 anadrome vassdrag i 8 kommunar langs Hardangerfjorden undersøkt med fokus på inngrep og status av sjøaurehabitat. ✓ Inngrepa vart vurdert etter vannforskrifta. ✓ 104 km vassdrag er undersøkt langs Hardangerfjorden for å kartlegge inngrep og status i leveområde for sjøaure. ✓ Resultatet er ei liste med rundt 90 tiltak for å betre produksjonen av sjøaure langs fjorden.
