Bergen used to be the largest city in the Nordic countries and the capital of Norway throughout some of the country’s most influential periods.
When it comes to things to do in Bergen, it’s not all about urban attractions. Natural escapes are just minutes away. The port at the heart of Bergen is the gateway to the amazing fjords which make up the Norwegian coastline, and the city itself is ringed by 7 mountains, several of which are very easily reached and climbed.
Låtefossen is the main attraction in Oddadalen, also known as "the Valley of Waterfalls". The Låtefossen twin waterfalls were a popular tourist attraction as early as during the 19th century. The 165 m drop waterfall is easily accessible by route 13. Water from the waterfall showers the road before it runs underneath the old stone bridge. It then runs into the Opo river meandering through Oddadalen, which has seven waterfalls over a distance of 10 km.
