387.0. "North of Bergen (Honeymoon-travel questions)" by MENTOR::MATATIA () Wed Apr 18 1990 08:16

    I am planning my Honeymoon to Denmark, Sweden, Norway this summer
    but have a few questions about some of the more rural areas out of
    Bergen.  I will be going to Copenhagen, Stockholm, Silja cruise to
    Helsinki , Oslo, Trondheim and Bergen (and locations in between all
    these cities).  
    The area I am lacking some good personal experience information is north 
    of Bergen:
    
    1) Any comments on places to stay or what to see in Alesund (which I am
    considering spending 2 days)?
    
    2)Same question for Nordfjordeid?  (Any information on the Storda to
    Standa ferry?)                                                     
    
    3)Same question for Buverdal (spelling?)
    
    4)Near Gaupne there is supposed to be a glacier walk tour does anybody
    know about this?
    
    5)The road from Revenes-Kaupanger to Aurland is supposed to be
    beautiful but somewhat hard to drive, is this true?
    
    6)Can you drive from Flam to Bergen?  I see no road on the map just a
    train route, my alternative is to take the  ferry from Aurland to
    Gudvangen and then drive to Bergen.
    
    Thanks for any details or stories of your experiences in that area
    south of Trondheim to Bergen.

What ever you do take the train to Flam!

    Absolutely see note 124 (starting around 124.27) for scenic routes
    between Flam and Bergen. In addition, I, too, recall, as suggested in
    .-1,  that you can take ferries all the way,
    
    There is at least one route, by the way, that requires you to change
    ferries in the middle of the fjord.
