Some people describe Sognefjord as the spirit of Scandinavia.
This video also features Bergen city
Sognefjord
I have been to Norway and the scenery is totally breathtaking. Although Norway is a wealthy country, the people are nice and the cities are humble. Oslo and Bergen are beautiful cities that I find pleasant to stay.
One of the greatest things to do in Norway is to explore the Fjords. The most famous fjord is Sognefjord. The 8-hour journey will leave you speechless, where you will cruise through the water valley and admire the true beauty of nature.
here’s another very good video featuring the great fjord. Fjord - Norway
The Sognefjord (Sognefjorden) is the second largest fjord in the world after Scoresby Sund on Greenland, and the largest in Norway. Situated in Sogn og Fjordane in Western Norway, its mouth is about 72km (45mi) north of Bergen, and it stretches 203km (126mi) inland to the town of Skjolden.
The fjord reaches a maximum depth of 1,308 m below sea level. The greatest depths are found some way inland: near its mouth, the bottom rises abruptly to a sill about 100m below sea level. The average width of the main branch of the Sognefjord is about three miles. Cliffs surrounding the fjord rise almost sheer from the water to heights of 1000m and more.
Boats connect settlements along the fjord and its sidearms. Towns on the fjord and its branches include Balestrand, Gudvangen and Flåm. Gudvangen is situated on Nærøyfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord particularly noted for its unspoilt nature and dramatic scenery ([1]), and only 300 m across at its narrowest point. From Flåm, the famous Flåmsbana railway climbs 864m up to Myrdal in only 20km - the steepest unassisted railway climb in the world.
The fjord’s beauty and the surpassing magnitude of its landscape has made it very popular among tourists, who power much of the local economy.
