The journey to Bergen throught the Sognefjord started in Oslo where we rode the Bergen Railway to Myrdal Station.

From there we took the Flåm Railway dropping 864 metres in a distance of only 20 kilometres, the steepest unassisted railway line in the world.

The Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, extends more than 200 km inland to the foot of the Jotunheimen mountains. This area is said to be one of the most beautiful travel destinations in the world.

The Sognefjord is called the King of the fjords for a good reason: it is the longest fjord in Norway and the second longest in the world. The Sognefjorden is enveloped with exceptional natural beauty, tall mountains, waterfalls and scenic forests.

For the electrical engineers the Sognefjord includes another wonder, the Sognefjord Span (HV power lines) crosses the fjord with a span of 4,597 metres. This is the second largest span of power lines in the world.
