Geiranger - a must-do on any Scandinavia trip

Verëffentlecht: 22.07.2020

Geiranger is extremely popular with cruise ships and is considered the prototype for Norwegian fjords. The journey there was not without its challenges, with high mountains on both sides, some still covered in snow, and glimpses of other valleys with spectacular rock formations.

The only ferry I had to take lasted only 15 minutes, but the village of Linge is spectacular: peaches and apricots still grow here, making it the northernmost place where East is still cultivated.

Before reaching Geiranger itself, I stopped at the "Ørnesvingen" (Eagle's Bend) to photograph the famous view of Geiranger. There were already more people here, but not too many yet.

More tight hairpin bends awaited me, and soon I was in Geiranger, a small town that is entirely focused on tourism. My route alongside the waterfall took me past an overcrowded campground where people were just waking up.

The waterfall was spectacular and I had originally planned to take a two-hour hike to its source, but then decided against it so that I would have more time for the mountain passes - it shouldn't get too late there, otherwise you could encounter problems with summer tires.
