Blomberg, Kulturgut in Norwegen
Blomberg is a historic mountain farm situated about 450 meters above sea level on a high plateau overlooking Geirangerfjord. The property contains original wooden buildings, including a restored barn with loft, that reflect traditional life in this isolated mountain region.
Blomberg appears in written records from 1650 and was long known locally as Holten before the current name became established. The farm was restored to preserve its history and represents how people adapted to life in Norway's challenging mountain terrain over centuries.
Blomberg carries the name of settlers who built their lives on this mountain plateau, and descendants still inhabit and maintain the farm buildings. The structures show how rural communities organized daily life around farming and animal grazing in this remote location.
Visitors reach Blomberg most easily by taking a boat from the village of Geiranger, located at the end of the famous Geirangerfjord. The farm sits on a hillside with expansive views and is easy to explore on foot, with historic buildings visible from every angle.
Access to Blomberg historically required traveling a steep mountain road with twenty-eight hairpin turns, notorious for dangerous rockfalls especially in winter. A barn depicted in a 1946 cartoon reveals the farm attracted artists and visitors, despite its remoteness creating hardship for children attending school.
