In the city of Voss, we boarded the train on the Bergen-Oslo line (which was defined by National Geographic as the most beautiful train line in the world) to the Myrdal mountain station.
We will transfer to the famous Flom train and descend from a height of 1000 meters above the surface of the fjord to Orlandfjord in the town of Flom.
