Hanging out of the train!
The Flåm Railway - an incredible train journey from the mountain station at Myrdal on the Bergen Railway, down to Flåm station nestled in the innermost corner of the Aurlandfjord. The train journey provides some of Norway's wildest and most magnificent scenery. On the 20 km-long train ride you can see rivers that cut through deep ravines, waterfalls cascade down the side of steep, snow-capped mountains and mountain farms cling dizzily to sheer slopes. The Flåm Railway is one of the worlds steepest railway lines on normal gauge. The gradient is 55/1000 on almost 80% of the line, i.e. a gradient of one in eighteen. The twisting tunnels that spiral in and out of the mountain are manifestations of the most daring and skilful engineering in Norwegian railway history.
De Flåmsbana is een treintraject in Noorwegen, die tussen de plaatsen Myrdal en Flåm rijdt. Het is één van de steilste treintrajecten ter wereld (in 20km stijgt het traject met 865.5 meter!). De trein stopt ook vaak even bij de imposante waterval Kjosfossen.
