In Olesund, many tourist routes lead to tourists traveling with an excursion program along the fjords of Norway. This region, every one falls here, meets a dark view. As a guide, the number of rainy and cloudy days a year in Olesundne told us - about 300. So get here at a time when the sun shines almost unreal.
The first thing that rushed into the eyes is the original architecture of buildings in the historical center of this small, with a population of about 40 thousand inhabitants, cities. The houses are all lined up in a single style, but painted in different colors, which gives the overall appearance of this gloomy city, a bright look. Be sure to stroll through the central pedestrian street. It is very cozy here. Draisted ornaments of local buildings are drawn. For tourists there are many cafes and shops. First of all, with souvenir products. By the way, it is in Olesundne that you can buy the best national clothes of Norwegians. But get ready for the fact that prices here are one of the highest in Norway. For example, the average price of such an outfit will be within 1,000 euros.
After walking in the center, go to Aalesunds Museum. In this museum of the history and culture of the city there are several expositions, which clearly show how Olesund rose from a small fish village in a modern city. It is especially interesting to listen to the story of the Great Fire of 1904 here, when the city almost completely burned down and was anew. In the local souvenir shop you can buy photos and books about the city, however, there is nothing in Russian here.
From Aalesund can go to the sea fishing on the yacht. You not only be able to try fishing happiness, but also to inspect the small islands that are located in the local bay water area. Of particular interest is the island of birds Rund. More than 200 species of birds nest on this small island. You can see it, rising to the observation platform.
In general, I want to say that, despite my stern Neoxund, leaves the bright impressions of his untouched and unique northern nature in memory.
