Nice road trip to waterfalls, nature center, and fjords - This road trip was a nice complement to taking a typical fjord cruise, offering a different perspective on the fjords. One also gets to walk behind a roaring waterfall, and above one of Norway's largest waterfalls. A highlight of the visit to the nature center was the helicopter-filmed tour of the region. Our amicable guide, Lorenzo, was informative and interactive.
