'From the Fjells to the Fjords' - a walk
through Norway
HOVDUNGO
We took the ferry from Flam to Aurland
Flam from the fjord
Aurlandfjord
The ferry dropped us off at Aurland and continued its voyage to Gudvangen
Then we went on a walk to Hovdungo, a collection of shepherd's cabins at the end of a ridge overlooking Aurland. The first part was up a surfaced track.....
....with wonderful views back to Flam.
The final part of the climb rose very steeply through woods, past the 'very worn' sign mentioned in our walk notes.
The climb was worth it for the superb views of the fjord.
Aurland beneath our feet
Down in Aurland, the evening sky from the balcony of our hotel room
Mist drifts across the fjord the next morning
We are waiting on the quay at Aurland for the ferry that will take us the first part of our journey to Bergen.
