The western part of Norway is known for it's steep mountains and deep fjords. A lot of tourists, from all over the world, visit this area every year.
We had some visitors from Belgium, a nice couple we have known for many years. They wanted to see some mountains and fjords, so we thought that a trip to Bergen would be nice, including this one day round trip from Bergen to Bergen. The route is train from Bergen to Myrdal, swap train to go from Myrdal to Flåm, and finally a boat trip from Flåm to Bergen.
The photos in this presentation are made by some good friends (written on the
pictures) and myself.
The photo of Myrdal is made by Mr. Svein Ulvund,
with his permission.
The unmarked photos from Voss station was made July 9th 2004.
Leg 1, train Bergen - Myrdal
It started one nice morning at 06:30 with a good breakfast, as our train should leave Bergen
station at 08:00, a local train going to Myrdal. This is a part of
Bergensbanen, the Oslo-Bergen railway line.

On the way to Stanghelle, the train travels along a nice fjord.
A train set like our, BM69, in Voss station. This photo was shot in July 2009.
The BM69 closer
We arrived Myrdal safe and sound, waiting for the train to Flåm. This clearly shows the steep gradient down towards Flåm. The track into the shed is horisontal.
A view the other way, the direction we came from. The tracks for the Oslo-Bergen line is on the other side of the building.
