Some pictures from Geiranger and the Geiranger fjord

It is difficult in few words to point out why the Geiranger fjord is known to be the most famous of the Norwegian fjords.
We could of course have used a lot of superlatives to try to describe why, but it is then much better to describe it by showing some pictures of some of the attractions in Geiranger and along the Geiranger fjord. As you know: A picture can tell more than thousand words....

Because of its beauty and unspoiled scenery the Geiranger fjord was in 2005 included in the
UNESCO's World Heritage List

There are many spectacular view points along the Eagle road (Ørneveien). This is one of them.  
The picture is taken by sunset, early in the morning (180 degrees panoramic picture).

 

Dalsnibba (180 degrees panoramic picture)
It is possible to drive by car from Geiranger to Djupvasshytta (1030 m.o.h.) and further on all the way to the top of the mountain Dalsnibba (1500 m.o.h.).
The trip by car takes about 30 minutes from the centre of Geiranger. From the top you will have a impressive view over the mountains surrounding  Geiranger.
The picture is taken in June.

 

The Geiranger fjord (180 degrees panoramic picture)
This panorama picture is taken an early morning in June about 10 minutes walk from the Eagle bend. The waterfall in the foreground is called Gjerdefossen.
To the left is the small village Geiranger.

The Flydalsjuvet viewpoint (180 degrees panoramic picture)
The picture is taken in the beginning of April 2010. New snow, but down by the fjord one can see the first sign of spring.
If you just follow the main road for about 3 km south of the centre of Geiranger you will find this view point.
