Liabygda Church is a wooden, single-nave church, constructed in 1917, seating 165. The architect was Henry Bucher, Oslo, and the builder was Tore Overa. Student of Theology Lars Lied was actively engaged in decorating the church, with chandeliers from Paris and Berlin and lamps from Lyon and Brussels. The interior and the canopy altar had an eastern influence. The church was restored in 1989-90, and amongst other new features was an extension at the main entrance (in part across the full width if the nave) for toilets and a new stairway to the spire, bier room and washroom for in the cellar for the gravediggers. The architect was Spjelkavik Architect Office. (Source: Kyrkjene i More, Kulturnett).

We took a Mt Dalsnibba moutain bus trip with Fjordservice to the top of this mountain, reasonably priced. The journey was beautiful as you started at the green fjord with waterfalls at Geiranger, through green pastures and waterfalls on this winding road, then through tundra with more and more snow until you got to the top of Mt. Dalsnibba with its snow covered rocky peaks. This road goes through some of Norway's best scenery. We were lucky to have a clear day, although the clouds rolled in while we were there. I was amazed at the skill of our driver as the steep road is too narrow in places for two vehicles to pass so one has to stop at the wider sections. I can't imagine driving this in bad weather. This skywalk was just opened in 2016 and provides a nice viewing platform for a panoramic view of the scenery around you. You can see down to our starting point in one place. Even in summer, there is some snow here. Part of it is a toll road. There is a nice gift shop at the top and picnic tables. Very cool. I liked passing Djupvatnet, a beautiful lake with a hotel.

When we got off of our cruise ship we first walked up the road that winds out of Geiranger. After we got up near the little church we discovered that there is another sidewalk with steps that goes along the river where there are multiple waterfalls. It's all a wonderful setting in this small town set at the end of a gorgeous fjord.

You can already see the eagle turns (ornesvingen) from the Geiranger cruise. It has a lot of turns and has nice view on its view point. It hasn’t much parking lot, so please be quick when you finished taking photos so others also can park their car and enjoy the view.

After a Geirangerfjord cruise you can drive south to reach Flydalajuvet. It has a tiny parking lot, so please be quick when you have taken some nice photos, so others also can park their car and enjoy the view as well. Flydalsjuvet wasn’t far from Geiranger. You can also walk to Flydalsjuvet from the Geiranger center and through the waterfall trail.

I stopped in Geiranger on a cruise. I had time prior to my afternoon excursion to explore the town. The main road takes you up to this church. I happened to be in this stop on Norway Day so the town was out - and outfitted - in celebration. Although the church was closed, my uphill hike was rewarded with gorgeous views of the town and the fjord. Of course, the spectacular day of bright blue skies and brilliant sun did not in any way hamper the experience! In addition to the views, I enjoyed the simplicity of the church. I also enjoyed exploring the grave yard that surrounds the church. Great photo spot.
