The Fijords

The Norwegian Fijords is an amazing place with tons of gorgeous scenery and intresting history background. Most people don't fully understand what a Fijord atually is. It also depends on who you talk to about they think that defines a Fijord. The "true" definiion is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by a glacier. but then are people who say a Fijord is any deep, narrow and elongated sea or lakedrain, with steep land on three sides. Besides seeing the Fijords you can see the Northern Lights depending on time of year you go. Here are a few good towns you can go to while travling through the Fijords.

• Haugesund
• Olden
• Gerianger
• Stavanger

In Haugesund St. Olaf church has a fascinating history. This church was built by King Håkon Håkonsson around 1250 as part of the royal manor complex at a time when Norway’s power was at its greatest power. The royal manor was attcked and was burnt dowdn but the church miraculously didn't burn with it. In 2017 the ruins of a fortified royal hall was excavated south of the church and gave insight on how people desinged the insides of buildings in that era.

Olden has many stunning views of the area. It also has fun little villiage that has cool little shops and delishes cafes to eat at. A cool thing to do here is to go see the Briksdale glacier.

As your heading your way into Gerianger you will see the Seven sisters Waterfall.

In Stavanger there are a few waterfalls that you can go look at. Most of the waterfalls here you will need to take a RIB boat tour. In case your wondering what that meaans, it's called Rigid Inflatable Boat. This is a fast and fun tour because your going 30+ mph for about a third of the time getting to the destinations.
