Bergen Railway
The Bergen railway, which was built in 1909, connects Norway's capital with its second city. This isn't your average commuter train; it's a breathtaking seven-hour journey through Norway's highland plateaus, past lakes, hikable slopes, and a settlement only reachable by train: Finse, at the railway's highest point.
You can connect to the charming Flm Railway in Myrdal, which takes you up alongside high cliffs, lush foliage, and a stunning waterfall on an hour-long trip that is a checklist of traditional Norwegian beauty. in fact it is one of Europe's Most Beautiful Train Journeys.
The Bergensbanen is a 308-mile road that travels through some of Europe's most difficult terrain in six and a half hours. It was constructed between 1875 and 1909, and as one might think for a railway that climbs to a height of 1200 meters, it was not an easy task.
