Nærøyfjord means “Narrow Fjord”, and it’s named that for good reason. The walls rise 1400m above the water, and some parts of the fjord are only 500m wide. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I was able to see this beautiful natural landscape by making a booking with Norway In A Nutshell. It’s a combination of bus, ferry, and train, to showcase the best of the fjords. The Nærøyfjord is seen from a 2-hr ferry ride.
I’m not sure my descriptions can really do this place justice. I sat on the open air deck, the wind in my hair as the ferry made its way along the fjord. New hills and mountains kept appearing around the bends. I gazed at waterfalls hundreds of feet above my head. Sometimes the walls of the fjord seemed so close to us, and sometimes a new summit would peak out at us and then disappear again. I was constantly surprised and in awe.
great gallery
