Souls of the Fjord~Sognefjord.

Norway, a land stretching long from north to south in Scandinavia, has half of its terrain consisting of fjords, with a coastline that is mostly jagged, hence Norway is also known as the 'Country of Fjords'. Sognefjord (Sognefjorden), the world's second longest and Norway's longest fjord, has many branches, with the deepest inland branch being Lustrafjorden, and the southern branch – Nærøyfjord, both of which are listed as World Heritage Sites. Spanning more than two-thirds the length of Taiwan, the entire Sognefjord is dotted with many seaside towns nestled between the mountains, becoming even more beautiful due to their location in the deep, long fjords and against the backdrop of majestic peaks. We boarded the ferry in the small town at the deepest part of Nærøyfjord in Gudvangen, which is the starting and ending point of the fjord ferry. Notable attractions include the Viking Village, and the surrounding scenery of Gudvangen is stunning, boasting the most magnificent fjord views. The journey is breathtakingly beautiful, with nature's craftsmanship on full display, leaving one in awe. Passing through some towns, the houses are scattered in the valleys, creating a tranquil fjord and a picturesque scene full of poetry that is captivating. Visiting the fjord relies on luck, as the weather is unpredictable, so good weather gives us the opportunity to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Therefore, being able to see such endlessly vast and beautiful vistas of the fjord is truly enchanting and exhilarating!
