Hjørundfjorden

Between Alesund and Geiranger is where you can find this fjord which isn't very well-known. This fjord is a cut of about 35 km in the so-called Norwegian Alps, with peaks over 1700 meters. At the end of the fjord lies the small town Øye, leading to narrower valley in Norway (Norangsdalen), where you can visit the famous Hotel Øye, who has had queens and emperors as guests. Leaving Alesund we skirted around the fjord until we reached Standal where we went into the mountains. Later we went down to the town of Saebo,
