Leaving Bergen we drive past some of the sights. The Medieval fortress of Bergenhus is one of them.
- Osterøy Bridge - From Bergen, we will travel to the Osterfjord – a fjord that surrounds one on the largest continental islands in Europe – Osterøy island, 127 square miles (330 km2).
Our first stop is at the viewpoint right after crossing the bridge over the fjord.
- Dale of Norway Factory Outlet & Museum - Returning to mainland, we move on to Dale, where the famous sweater factory is located – “Dale of Norway”. We can visit the factory outlet and maybe pick up some woolen souvenirs there.
- Skipshelleren - From Dale we take one of lesser-known roads going north: steep mountains, narrow fjords and secluded villages along the way.
Our next stop is at the Stone Age settlement on the Bolstadfjord: a short walk on a moderately steep trail is required.
- Mo - We continue our journey and reach Mo (pronounced “Moo”) – a cosy village between two waterfalls: Geitaskaret and Kvernhusfossen. Here we can have lunch at a small restaurant/café overlooking the Mofjord and Geitaskaret waterfall.
- Mostraumen - Our next and last stop on this tour is at the Mostraumen strait - the 600 meters long, very narrow channel connecting two fjords. During the tide there is a strong current here and, of course, an amazing view (regardless of the tide).
-
Osterfjorden - On our way back to Bergen we’ll continue our ride along the Osterfjord - now to the west of Osterøy island.
(Usually we do not stop here.) -
Nordhordlandsbrua - Before returning to Bergen we will cross the fjord on the second longest bridge in Norway - the Nordhordlandsbrua - part floating part suspension bridge.
(Usually we do not stop here)
