Aurlandsfjellet National Tourist Route

Reviewed By JJ_World_travler

Highly recommend taking this route instead of the worlds longest tunnel. Raw nature, sheep, small “ice bergs”, lakes, rivers, snow, raw rock and breath taking views - basically what you would expect going over the mountain. Would love to take my bike on this route some time as well - bring warm cloth ;)

Skaldegard

WELCOME TO OUR FARM Come and visit an old farmstead that clings to the mountain-side and enjoys splendid views over the fjord and surrounding mountains. Skaldegard invites small groups to come and learn about the local area’s natural environment, history, agriculture and way of life, both past and present. Your visit will include a guided tour of the historic farm buildings. Inside the lovingly restored barn you get to try home-made lefse, a traditional Norwegian flatbread. Then we take you on a journey through Norwegian folklore to a world where trolls and huldra live. Welcome!

What a wonderful experience of a traditional farm in Norway! The visit is filled with information and warm hospitality. We heard about the creation of the fjords while enjoying an outdoor fire and hot drinks, and continued with a tour of the buildings and tastings of traditional goat cheese and flatbread. The views of the fjord are truly spectacular. The hostess, An-Margritt, described historical farming ways, displayed old tools, and told engaging stories about the trolls and huldra –in excellent English!

Aurland Shoe Factory and Economusee

Reviewed By NeliSev - Copenhagen, Denmark

We did not go to the actual basement where shoes are actually made as we were not sure if it is allowed just to go downstairs, but we highly recommend! Full of displays with information and photographs from the early 20th century explaining the history behind the local shoe making tradition!
