During a roadtrip through beautiful Norway<\/strong> <\/a>we arrived after a long drive in Alesund, if you ask me one of the most beautiful towns in Norway, located 230 kilometers northeast of the larger and more touristy Bergen. The town is so beautifully situated on islets and among the fjords that I could look at it for hours. From Alesund on the way to the magical Geirangerfjord, you will also pass the famous and exciting Troll route: the Trollstigen. An unusual road steeply uphill. Norway never ceases to amaze: read on and discover these Norwegian gems!<\/p>\n

Alesund: where houses and high mountains rise from the sea<\/h3>\n

What a fantastic view from the mountain of the town of Alesund! The mountains, the sea, the fjords, the islets: a magical sight. Alesund has about 45,000 inhabitants and many cute colored houses. It is Norway’s largest fishing port, built on three islands and set among the country’s most beautiful fjords.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
