Distance

Stops

A lesser-known fjord day just north of Bergen. Follow the Osterfjord toward the narrow Mostraumen strait, where the tide funnels between rock walls and waterfalls tumble close enough to touch, the classic Bergen fjord cruise covers the same water if you'd rather sail. Carry on to Modalen, one of Norway's smallest and most peaceful communities.
