If you can afford it, go there. I have traveled all over the world but Norway is without any question the most beautiful country on this planet…..and this train ride, nothing can compare…
There are many beautiful places across the globe. I don't understand this habit of factually overstating subjective opinions. Then again I have autism.
@@SungazerDNB Oh I agree with you, Sungazer! Comparing beauty is silly. I am a Norwegian who have lived in the US, and what I learned was: Every place have a DIFFERENT beauty and comparing places is a waste. It is like rating the beauty of women on a scale - it's reprehensible! but I DO love my country though ;)
I have been on the Oslo-Bergen train trip as well as the train from Bergen to Myrdal to Flam twice. They are both very beautiful and interesting. Well worth your time. Norway is very beautiful.
I'm not going to say anything about how beautiful this trainride is because I'm probably biased. My great-grandfather was one of the people building Flåmsbana.
On my first week in Norway I went on the train ride as well as the fjord safari. I must say it was captivating and mesmerising, the movement, the waterfall behind her and the music. But my gods, it was so cold near the waterfall!
This is a trip worth taking. I really enjoyed it and would like to go again. I have travelled all over the world by train and this is special in lots of ways.
Awesome that your putting this on the map! :) Im a native Norwegian, born and raised in the capitol Oslo. The social climate in the city can be both boring and stressful aswell as some of us city dwellers can sometimes have some trouble swallowing our pride for our city :D sometimes forgetting the "other" side of Norway. Therefore, i spent some money on a roundtrip which included the Flåms-bane this summer :) I took Bergensbanen to Myrdal (Where the line starts) and spent a night tenting at the edge looking down the Sognewalley. The next morning i took it down to Flåm :) where my Norled katamaran awaited. My next stop went trough the fjord to Balestrand, where you will find Kviknes hotel. This is a big tourist attraction with rich historical value. They even have Wilhelm 2s famous chair exhibited! ;) I spent another night in my tent there. It was then time for a second boatride at the fjord, also with Norled. In stark contrast to the Norled boats patrolling the fjord back home in Oslo, these had both TV which showed Tokyo Olympics and a awesome cafe (where i treated myself to a Vaffel
Its very nice, but it's not only the most beautiful train trip. It's also the most expensive. This short trip cost 60Euro... Earlier this was normal government owned train and inexpensive, but now it's private owned and horrible expensive.
So glad you enjoyed our video! Have you already seen our other videos about train routes? For example this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-31IXzkSdwgs.html
I was in Flam for 5 days during the Summer. Everyday they had a different cruise ship arriving and lots of people around but when the ship leaves around 6 PM it is a kind of sad and quiet. It is a nice place to go with friends. I was there alone and couldn't find many people to talk.
What's sad about it being quiet there in the evening? Enjoy the nature. If you must be en crowded places at all times, then stay in the big city and enjoy crime and all the great things that comes with it.
3:12 The man says: "This is the most photographed attraction in Norway I think"..... Its not even close to being the most photographed attraction lol....
Great video but you need to work on the proper pronunciation of Flåm ;-) Have taken the train between Oslo and Bergen several times and that ride is amazing as well but I have yet to take the side branch down to Flåm. I'd like to ride Rallarvegen down on a bicycle and then take the Flåms railroad up.
Als wir mit der Bahn fahren wollten waren leider waren über mehrere Tage am Morgen bis in den frühen Nachmittag die Züge durch die Kreuzfahrtschiffe ausgebucht. Es ist unverständlich das nicht eine Anzahl von Plätzen für „normale Touristen“ frei gehalten werden.
When making such a montage it wouldn't be too much to ask to at least try to pronounce the actual name correctly. Think it at Flomsbana, and it will go much easier.
@@DWTravel judging by his name he is, everytime "å" is written in Norwegian it's pretty much like dragging out your O's so flåm would be floOom kinda sounding i guess for english speakers to attempt saying it.
@@beepboopbeepp In most cases, a single consonant following a vowel would make that vowel long, like in "lot" (allowed), pronounced approximately like "loot" in English. "Flåm", however, is an exception to the rule, being pronounced "flom", unlike most words with the short vowel sound, like "fikk" (got/received), that get a double consonant.
Did you make an entire documentary about the Flåmsbane and couldn't be bothered to learn how to pronounce it correctly once? The Å sound is pretty easy. It's not an A. The place is not called Flam. Nice effort...
