Day 20 of the trip

بڵاوکراوەتەوە: 12.06.2019

Culture is on the agenda: we visit the Glacier Museum, which is located next to the campsite, and learn about glaciers and the Ice Age. Very interesting! A visit to the foot of a glacier is canceled due to the weather. 8 km in the rain is no fun. On our way to Borgund to visit a stave church, we pass through Kaupang, which also has one of these churches. These stave churches already existed in many localities in the early Middle Ages, a total of 1000 of this kind. Today, only 28 of them can be found in Norway. The Borgund Church dates back to around 1150 and is Norway's most famous and beautiful stave church. Before that, we visited a settlement of houses in Lærdal from the 18th and 19th centuries, which was placed under protection in 1971. So, that's enough for today, we said to ourselves, decided to head towards Bergen and find our overnight accommodation. We arrived at the campsite in Flam. During the evening walk, we passed by the famous Flam Railway. It was clear that we wouldn't take this trip as we didn't want to leave Luna alone for so long. I don't know why, but I asked if dogs were allowed. When this was affirmed, we were very surprised since dogs are rarely allowed in public buildings. Well, what now? We decided to take the trip and Luna was allowed to ride for free and we paid less than advertised. The last ride discount? In any case, it was a beautiful journey from 2 meters above sea level to 866 meters. After a 35-minute break in Myrdal, we headed back. Fascinating! The construction of the Flam Railway began in 1923 and the first tracks could be laid in the autumn of 1936. The route was opened on August 1, 1940. 🚂 The journey was a great experience! Luna also managed quite well after initial fears. 🐕😃 Now we almost forgot to mention that we drove through the longest road tunnel in the world with its interesting light displays. 😉😆
