A small fjord (only 20 km long) is characterized by a delightful landscape. Geirangerfjord is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the most visited fjords in Norway. Local entertainment: fishing, kayaks, rafting, horseback riding and summer skiing in Stryne
Gudwangen and Geiranger, two small villages in the central part of the fjords - one of the most popular cruise ship cruises in Scandinavia

What to see
The most delightful view of the fjord opens with as if flying in the air Fludalsyuvet rocks - practically, "at the threshold to heaven." Other famous local attractions include the Fata Bride and Seven Sisters Falls, falling from somewhere in the thick forest to the mirror fjord.
It's definitely worth visiting the Geirangerfjord Museum, which features numerous artifacts that tell the story of the region. From the top of Dyupswachyut you can descend to the beach by bike along the beautiful road - the reward will be as much as 17 km of breathtaking views.
