Stavanger is the fourth largest city in Norway and has recently emerged as the country's oil capital. Despite the rapid expansion due to North Sea exploration, Stavanger has successfully preserved its old-world charm while providing all the amenities of a modern city. The central area around Vågen harbor is typically bustling with activity, especially during the summer. There are numerous bars, cafes, and dining spots. The old town, Gamle Stavanger, is a beautiful collection of traditional Norse-style houses. The historic center of Stavanger houses several artisan workshops and the Norwegian Canning Museum. It is said that there are 173 white cottages from the 1800s in this area, making it the largest surviving wooden house settlement in northern Europe. The magnificent Stavanger Cathedral is located right in the center of the city, between the main harbor and Breiavatnet Lake. The overall style is Romanesque, but the eastern side is distinctly Gothic, complete with all the specific elements. The Norsk Oljemuseum, with its intriguing architecture, is located in an impressive building by the harbor and provides a history of oil in the North Sea and an insight into the industry. Beyond the central area, there are numerous parks, open spaces, and bike paths to explore the stunning local scenery.

Day 4

nordfjordeid

Arrival: 10:00 - Departure: 21:00

Nordfjordeid is the administrative center of the municipality of Stad in Vestland County, western Norway. It is located at the end of the Eidsfjorden, a branch of the main Nordfjorden, west of the large lake Hornindalsvatnet. The town is a commercial hub for the municipality, with several industries, shops, and schools. Eid Church, the main church for the municipality, is also located here. The European route E39 highway passes by Nordfjordeid on its way from Bergen to Ålesund, and Norwegian National Road 15 runs through the town on its way from Måløy to Otta. There are many tourist attractions in the area, including the Sagastad Viking ship, Geirangerfjord, and the famous Briksdalen glacier, which attract numerous international visitors every year. Nearby are the well-known Harpefossen Ski Resort and a thriving professional opera company. Nordfjordeid is also home to the Sophus Lie Conference Center for mathematics. Notable mathematician Sophus Lie was born in the town in 1842. There are many excellent hiking opportunities in the mountains north and south of the town. A hiking trail starting near the Lote Tunnel heading south leads to a magnificent 900-metre (3,000 ft) high viewpoint overlooking other arms of the Nordfjorden and the surrounding landscape. Nordfjordeid also hosts the Malakoff Rock Festival, where artists such as Oselie, The School, Bertine Zetlitz, Marit Larsen, Lukestar, Jim Stärk, Animal Alpha, Åge Aleksandersen, Eye Emma Jedi, Svelekameratane, and Turbonegro have performed. Nordfjord has its own opera house. Once a year, a professional opera or operetta is produced locally by the Nordfjord Opera Company. The initiative to establish an opera in this remote place with only about 3,000 inhabitants is owed to Kari Standal Pavelich, who organizes the productions and founded the Nordfjord Opera Company. She plays violin in the orchestra, and her husband, Michael, is the conductor. A 2016 performance of Jacques Offenbach’s The Tales of Hoffmann was reviewed in a German opera blog. Kari and Michael Pavelich received a royal distinction after an opera performance.
