This is a unique opportunity: This tour is available only in July -August. We will visit the Viking Market in Njardarheimr. Local producers as well as Viking artisans from other countries come to Gudvangen to sell their goods and crafts, converse and just have fun. Great chance to buy gifts and authentic Viking souvenirs.

Our tour starts from Bergen and we travel through the wondrous scenery of Western Norway to the Nærøyfjord. The picturesque fjord is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On our drive we pass through scenic valleys with calm lakes and raging rivers, waterfalls, quaint little towns and villages surrounded by neat and almost toy-like farms on the slopes of hills and mountains.
