Hurtigruten
Norway - Extensions - Bergen
TRIANGLE TOUR
From Bergen or Oslo
3 days, 2 nights
Combining some of Norway’s most visually spectacular rail journeys with the historically important cities of Oslo, Stavanger and Bergen, this superb round trip takes in some of southern Norway’s premier attractions.
Taking the train from Oslo the southern route takes you through verdant forests and across heather blanketed meadows, following the coast through Kristiansand and the fertile landscapes of Jaeren towards Stavanger, Norway’s fourth largest city and a town that has managed to retain something of its historic character. With two nights here there is plenty of time to enjoy exploring its delights, or take part in a number of optional excursions, before taking the express boat to the old Hanseatic city of Bergen, one of Norway’s sparkling gems, where we spend a further two nights.
Possible Excursions
Lysefjorden & Pulpit Rock
This guided boat tour begins in the bustling harbour of Old Stavanger, taking you through a studded landscape of tiny islands and skerries towards the scenic grandeur of Lysefjorden, where towering mountains and walls of sheer rock guide the way towards the famous Preikestolen, the Pulpit Rock, whose amazing plateau is perched some 600 metres above the fjord’s icy waters.
