Cabin with fjord views
Thrallheimen is one of the (many) amazing cabins scattered around the fjords. Having a country cabin is a pretty common thing in Norway and, seeing as how they're a fairly well-off people, some of the cabins are simply stunning. That's the case with Thrallheimen, a cabin that has appeared in architecture magazines and has some of the best views found anywhere in Norway.
The house is set on the top of a hill near the village of Urke in Hjorundfjord. The plot was wisely chosen as it receives warming sunlight throughout the entire day and has incomparable views of the fjords and the surrounding mountains. In fact, the whole house is designed to maximize the views and has enormous windows everywhere. The best part is waking up, raising the blinds and seeing THAT outside your window.
Thrallheimen is located in what's known as the Sunnmore Alps, one of the most accessible hiking areas in the fjords. It's also pretty close to Geiranger and its UNESCO-awarded fjords and Alesund. The cabin also has a small boat you can use as long as you leave it with the gas tank full. It's really the best way to move around the fjords since there are only a few ferries each day and some of the villages aren't accessible by car.
This is, without a doubt, an amazing place to lose yourself for a few days.
