There are countries whose civilization cost without a violation of communication with nature. One of them is Norway. Among all its cities, Bergen is affected by the untouched character. For the first time we, "green" tourists-kayakniki, got there 10 years ago. Boldly decided to go to the goal through fjords. But they also needed to get to them: in Alesund flew from convenient for the whole group of St. Petersburg (through Oslo). They came out of the picturesque Storfjord.
The route was chosen by Traditional: Geiranherfjord (task: grabbed by the camera, then each other is delighted with the luxury and beauty of the waterfall "Seven Sisters"), Nordfjord (rest in the Laguna glacier formed during the slow melting, visit, Sognefjord, Hardangerfjord . Guests usually come to Bergen solemnly and under umbrellas. We decided not to lag behind, approached the Bruges' Embankment under an awning and accompanied by an indescribable beautiful sunset.
In Bergen, all ordinary natural phenomena look a few theatrical, even rain. Probably because the city consists of multicolored "gingerbread" houses with perfectly smooth classic tiled roofs, tiny vintage restaurants and shops, stylish administrative and public buildings. Life here for fighters with bad habits is also fabulous: smoking on the streets, barracks can not be; Alcohol is sold only in Vine Monopoli. People walk without cigarettes bottles.
Beer, however, is available, but in the evening, at night it, like the products, it is difficult to buy: supermarkets are closed. Only "Sevenhelevlen" work around the clock, which traded at robbing prices. I had to store food and drink to the future. Accordingly, the temptations to overeat did not occur. A series of dietary days interrupted only a visit to the fish market. We did not expect that useful and low-calorie seafium gifts here are tasting not only separately, but also in salads, sandwiches, sandwiches.
Bergen, like Rome, is located on seven hills. They rarely have classic tourists on them: the majority prefers to admire the city, and sitting in a funicular. But we are extreme people who need to worry somewhere. During the rest, they conquered all the hills. Award: Great well-being, surprised views of local and breathtaking views.
Bergen - Paradise for tanning opponents and fans swimming in cold water. We arrived in April when water already reaches +7. Slightly colder than on the Black Sea at the beginning of May, when many of us open the season. I love to swim overcast day in the Ice Sea: the difference between the temperature of the sushi and water is relatively small, in the rain the waves become more affectionate. Some of the friends and local walrus supported me.
It was upset one thing: the national cycling route was closed until May. I had to drive along the less extended and complex "deck of excavators", the beginning of which is Hardangervidda (Mountain Plateau). End of three: AurlandSfjord (Sognefjord Sleeve), Town Flom, Commune Vos. Girls honestly wrapped kilometers on bicycles, the boys struggled to be closer to the water and froze with the fishing rod. Idyll, in which I wanted to stay.
