Eidfjord, Norway

July 11, 2022

Today was an amazing adventure of buses, trains, waterfalls and tunnels. There is no doubt Norway is the land of mountains and waterfalls. You are surrounded by mountains when looking in every direction and you can barely drive a mile or two before you spot the next waterfall. There is also an amazing amount of tunnels through all these mountains. The first tunnel we drove through was 11 kilometers long (6.8 miles). many more were between 1-5 miles long. Some were man made, but many were built using ”Big Bertha” a huge boring machine that can bore through a mountain in weeks versus the years it took to build them mwhich would have taken years

Today we took a bus from Eidford to a waterfall near Voss, Norway where we were a few days ago. we visited the same waterfall as before, except today it was sunny and warm.

After leaving the waterfall be arrived at a nice hotel near the top of the mountain. Here we had lunch overlooking a beautiful valley and farms below.

The train ride from Flan took us past many waterfalls and sheer cliffs. Norway is not only the land of waterfalls it is well known for the amount and length of their tunnels. We drove through several tunnels that were between 3-7 miles long! here are some of the waterfalls.
