Norge - Noreg - Norway Sogn og Fjordane Part 3: From Flåm to Myrdal - 'Flåmsbana'

Flåm is a popular place for cruiseliners. They may send their customers by train from Bergen and down the Flåmsbana and pick them up here and contunue the trip along the Norwegian coast and fjords. We walked around, had a bite to eat before the train started. The distance betwen Flåm and Myrdal is only 20km, but Flåm station is 2m above the sea, while Myrdal is 867 m above. That make the climb 1:18. You will go through 20 tunnels, and you make a stop at Kjosfossen (waterfall) and all the way along the line you will have fantastic sceneries. All this within 40 min (up) or 53 min (down). In 2002 the number of visitors were over 400.000 for the first time in one year.
