Sognefjord, Fjord in Vestland, Norway
The Sognefjord extends 204 kilometers inland from the coast north of Bergen, reaching depths of 1,308 meters beneath sea level.
Medieval maritime routes connected Bergen to inland Scandinavia through the fjord, with ships navigating to Skjolden before continuing by road.
The Hopperstad wooden church, constructed around 1130, represents traditional Norwegian medieval architecture and stands near the fjord's waters.
Visitors can explore the fjord through electric boat tours, kayak rentals, or guided hiking excursions along the surrounding mountain trails.
The Vettisfossen waterfall in Utladalen valley features a 275-meter single drop, making it the highest unregulated waterfall in Northern Europe.
