The fjord region of Norway is famous for its breathtaking natural beauty. No photo can fully convey the feeling of being in front of these scenarios, but the interactivity of exploring 360° images manages to bring the viewer a little closer and give a taste of what it is like to experience one of the most famous regions of Norway. On the website of Fjord Norway, you can explore 360° photos of some iconic spots in the region. Check out some examples below:
Ålesund
The city of Ålesund is marked by a fire that occurred in 1904 and destroyed about 95% of the city. Nobody is sure about the origin of the fire, which made more than 10,000 people homeless, but the fact is that due to this tragedy, Ålesund is a Norwegian city very different from the others. In three years it was rebuilt. Professionals who studied architecture in several European countries brought influences from the Art Nouveau style and completely transformed the city. For a panoramic view of Ålesund, you can climb the 418 steps to Mount Aksla.
Atlantic Road
Atlantic Road is over 8km long and draws attention for its beauty. Its sharp curves and wild nature make it one of the best roads to travel in the world. It is located between the villages of Kristiansund and Molde, linking small coastal communities. There are seven bridges along its entire length. The highest of them, Storseisundet Bridge, impresses with its architecture unlike any other, with a beautiful curve that brings an artistic conception to the construction.
Seven Sisters Waterfall
In the middle of the Geiranger fjord, one of the most beautiful in all of Norway, you can find the famous Seven Sisters waterfalls. The waterfalls, which originate from the melting ice, are only active during the hottest season of the year, reaching their peak volume at the height of summer. The waterfall that represents the older sister is the first to appear during spring and the one that reaches the highest volume of water, followed by its six younger sisters.
Trollstigen Road
The “Troll Road”, located in the Geiranger fjord region, is one of the most scenic in the entire world. It draws attention due to the steep terrain where it is located and the 11 sharp curves along its path, which make a beautiful pattern on the mountain that can be admired from the top. The Trollstigen road has been attracting tourists since its opening in 1936 not only for its daring construction, but also for the views it offers of the surrounding nature.
