Watch Geiranger webcams online - Norwegian provinces
You need to watch Geiranger webcams online, because few places can boast such beautiful and pristine nature. This fjord was included in the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005. Its landscape, as well as unique climatic and geological conditions, make it one of the most beautiful places on the planet. In addition to the spectacular scenery, the ruins of old farms and mountain pastures can also be found here, which are of great cultural value. Much of Geiranger and the surrounding area constitutes a landscape protection zone. Norway is committed to protecting and preserving the World Heritage area for future generations.
Tourists have been visiting this incredible place since 1869.
This year, the first tourist ship sailed up the fjord. Hospitable locals already began to carry members of the royal family and other tourists to the observation decks on horses and carts, and over time they began to transport them in beautiful cars with an open roof. Geiranger is said to have had more cars per inhabitant 100 years ago than New York City, and some of these can still be seen by residents.
This fjord is generally considered one of the popular natural attractions in Norway. Its depth is 260 m, and the surrounding mountain peaks reach a height of 1600-1700 m. The idyllic nature and dramatic mountains will impress any visitor. In addition, there are now abandoned farms on its territory, reminiscent of a different time and way of life. Some of them can be visited. For example, farms Skageflo, Knivsflo, Blomberg, Matvik, Siltevik and Westeros.

This fjord is home to some of the most impressive lookouts in Western Norway - Örnesvingen. It lies on the way to Geiranger or back, as well as if you go on the road to or from Eidsdal.
Another observation deck Dalshiba is located at an altitude of about 1500 m above sea level. It offers an unforgettable view of the snow-capped mountain peaks and the Geirangerfjord below. The impressive platform "Geiranger Skywalk" allows you to get a dose of adrenaline and an unforgettable experience. The road to Dalsnibba is called Nibbevegen. At one time, its construction was an innovative project and became a symbol of tourism after its opening in 1939.
A visit to the Norwegian Fjord Center is a must, as it gives you a glimpse of what life was like in the area then and now. At the same time, you should always remember that the road leading to this center is open all year round and is charming in any season.
Near the deserted Knivsflo farm there are waterfalls with an average fall of 250 m, which is actually an impressive sight, especially when the water level in the rivers is high.
The best time to visit these natural sites is the period from May to July. At this time, the waterfalls are most majestic, because the snow begins to melt rapidly. When viewed from afar, the falls can resemble the hair of seven women, which is why it is called the "Seven Sisters". On the opposite side of the fjord you can see the Bridegroom, a bottle-shaped waterfall.
The best way to see the Seven Sisters is by boat. Local companies offer a 1.5-hour round trip with sightseeing from May to October. There is also an alternative boat trip that has several daily departures from Geiranger to Hellesylt between May and September.
Directly, the old abandoned Knivsflo farm is located on a mountain shelf next to the Seven Sisters. The farm was built on the sunny side of the fjord, so spring came early, which made the conditions for the farm especially good. Local lands have always yielded a harvest, even in the most difficult times. The other side of life in this village was that accidents often occurred due to the terrain. This led to the fact that the inhabitants left Knivsflo in 1898. You can also get to this place by boat.
The next unforgettable experience will be the Walk up or down the 327 steps, plateaus and viewpoints as you approach the Storfossen waterfall.
The exploration of this site starts from the center of Geiranger and continues to the Norwegian Fjord Center and the Union Hotel. The combination of wild nature and breathtaking architecture attracts many travelers.
Of course, in order to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of fjord life, you need to spend the night in an authentic place. One of these is Aabrekk Farm, which offers accommodation in restored houses of the 18th and 19th centuries. They are part of a large cluster of farms. Equipped with modern appliances, but some have preserved old wood-burning stoves. The farm is located in the Oldedalen Valley, surrounded by high mountains, lush green mountain slopes, blue-white glaciers and roaring waterfalls cascading down the mountain slopes.
