Norway is one of the European leaders in the production of hydropower. And this is all thanks to numerous natural reservoir lakes on high plateaus, waterfalls, and rivers. That is, what we think is beautiful and for the sake of which we go to Norway is also beneficial.
Why not take a walk along one of the hydroelectric power plants located on the blue river Lågen? Especially since she’s on her way!
It’s completely free, legal, and undeniably impressive in the moments when excess water is dumped. So we recommend walking along the top of the dam, 158 meters long and 16 meters high.

The Rampestreken lookout is a fantastic experience and uniquely vibrant experience. It is located at an altitude of 537 meters above sea level. And the view from it is definitely worth it to go on this hike! From the starting point in the center of Åndalsnes, there is a trail with a constant climb to the Rampestreken lookout.
The hike is classified as moderate, but the last leg is quite steep. When you reach about 430 m above sea level, the nature trail turns into stone steps and the path becomes more comfortable.
These steps were made by Nepalese Sherpas and this part of the trail is called Romsdalstrappa. The entire route is perfectly marked with signs and red signs on trees and rocks. Also every 100 meters there are altitude indicators.
But remember that you have an alternative and you can climb the Nesaksla mountain to Rumdalgandolen and then go down to Rampestreken along the trail. This path will take much less time and require less effort.

It is an unforgettable experience to drive a car along the road washed by the ocean and cross the longest of the eight bridges on this road, the Storseisundbrua bridge. Along the road, there are observation platforms and places for stops and rest.
But of course, for the sake of the Atlantic road, we will have to make a separate circle of more than 200 km. Also, for many, it causes a double feeling or does not even live up to expectations.
But we were obliged to include it in the route, but you can decide whether to go or not by watching our video in which we figured out why it is so good and whether it has more affordable alternatives.

Ålesund is one of the most atypical and architecturally stylish towns in Norway, it is even called the Venice of the North. By the way, the characteristic architecture of the city was literally born from the ashes.
On January 23, 1904, a fire broke out in the city, destroying 850 houses, that is, more than 80% of the city. Thanks to the efforts of local residents and patrons, the city was completely restored in less than 3 years.

An interesting fact is that the volume of this aquarium is 4 million liters of real unfiltered sea water, which is pumped out 800 meters from the shore at a depth of 45 meters. That is, the quality of the water here is the same as in the sea, and large species of cold-water fish such as cod or pollock swim in the aquarium.

The small town of Fjærland is comfortably located on the shores of the Fjærlandsfjord, one of the branches of Norway’s largest fjord, the Sognefjord. And despite the fact that the population of the city is only about 300 inhabitants.
Fjærland is Norway’s main book town, with books everywhere in small shops, bus stops, and even telephone booths. Moreover, the total length of the bookshelves is longer than the main street.
All books are available to browse and buy. Fjærland was Scandinavia’s very first city of books, inaugurated in 1996.

Nigardsbreen
![Nigardsbreen Glacier](https://crazytroll.no/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Nigardsbreen.jpg)
And now, when you have already seen the different descents of the Jostedalsbreen glacier from a distance and learned more facts about glaciers in the museum.
We recommend that you visit the Nigardsbreen glacier, and this will definitely be your closest encounter with the glacier! After all, here you can even book a special tour and take a walk along the glacier itself. You can do it on this site: https://www.bfl.no/en/nigardsbreen-glacier-hikes/
And even if you decide not to take a tour, this is the same glacier that you can get very close to and have a good look at, since it does not hang over the valley, but lies in it and its visit is safe.
And you have two alternatives on how to do this. You can hike up to the glacier with a moderate climb in just over an hour. Or take a halfway boat ride on a glacial lake for 60 crowns. The boat runs from June 1 to September 25. More details can be found here: https://www.jostedal.com/en/the-glacier-boat/

Gaupne

Having made a short stop in the town of Gaupne, you will see in reality what you saw on the model in the Glacier Museum. The site of glacial water discharge into the fjord after power generation.
It looks very unusual, and the water near the town of Gaupne is very blue due to the concentration of glacial silt.
The stop will not take long, but it will definitely impress you! After all, the movement of water is always fascinating, and when blue water breaks out from under the blue fjord, the impression can be safely multiplied by two!

Sognefjellet

The picturesque Sognefjellet track is located on the territory of the Jotunheimen mountain range, which is often called the “Roof of Norway”. The road is 108 kilometers long and passes through the highest pass in Northern Europe.
The highest point of the road is 1434 meters above sea level. And get ready that you will often stop here, as there are many viewing platforms along the road from which you will admire the views of the valleys, mountains, and glaciers.
The road is closed for the winter, so it is not accessible all year round, but in the spring, immediately after opening, you will be able to catch high snowdrifts on its sides. We were there in the spring and in this video, we show what the road looks like in the spring.
