Bryggen (Norwegian, "The Wharf" ), also known as Tyskebryggen ; ("the German Wharf") is a series of Hanseatic commercial buildings lining the eastern side of the fjord coming into Bergen, Norway.
Bryggen was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1979.
The city of Bergen was founded in 1070. In 1360 a Kontor of the Hanseatic League was established there, and as the town developed into an important trading centre, the wharfs were improved. The administrative buildings of Bryggen housed clerks from many areas, especially Germany. The main trade was dried cod from Northern Norway in return for cereals from mainland Europe.

Early morning in Bergen Norway is peaceful and calm before all the tourists arrive. It gives you a chance to soak in the beauty.

This is a shot from our trip to Bergen, Norway. Lots of old beautiful buildings in Bergen. A beautiful city and if you ever come to Norway, make sure you visit Bergen. :)
Bergen ist eine Stadt an der Südwestküste Norwegens. Die umgebende Landschaft ist von Bergen und Fjorden bestimmt, darunter dem Sognefjord, dem tiefsten und längsten Fjord des Landes. Im Viertel Bryggen stehen bunte Holzhäuser an der alten Landungsbrücke, die einst ein Stützpunkt der mächtigen Hanse war. Mit der Standseilbahn Fløibanen gelangt man auf das Bergplateau des Fløyen, das einen Panoramablick und Wanderwege bietet.
Bergen is a city on the southwest coast of Norway. The surrounding landscape is dominated by mountains and fjords, including the Sognefjord, the deepest and longest fjord in the country. In the Bryggen district there are colorful wooden houses on the old landing stage, which was once a base of the mighty Hanseatic League. The Fløibanen funicular takes you to the Fløyen mountain plateau, which offers panoramic views and hiking trails.
On the 22nd day, I stayed in Bergen and did some sightseeing on the other side of the center where a lot of nice little streets are going up the mountains with white wooden houses. When I walked back the sun came through and lit up the old city center. That center is really unique, there are not many places left where the houses are that old, from wood and not devastated by fire. On the right you can see the railway (Fløibanen) that takes you to a nice viewpoint to see the surroundings. A rather classic shot.
Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.
Another very active
vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- Trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).

It was dull and rainy weather on the last day of staying in Bergen and in Norway. Went up to mountain Fløyen with beautiful views down on the city and the harbour with colourful rooftop maze. Bergen, Norway
