Day 4

alesund, norway

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 18:00

Traditional pinnacle structures speckle the cobblestone roads of Alesund, a vibrant harbor encircled by emerald-green fjords and wooded mountains. After being completely destroyed by fire in 1904, Alesund was reconstructed and extravagantly adorned with the assistance of Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany. The Norwegian architects overseeing the rebuild were greatly influenced by Jugendstil, the German variant of Art Nouveau, making the town one of the finest remaining examples of this fluid, highly individualistic, turn-of-the-century design. Furthermore, Alesund is the ideal location to discover some of Norway's most renowned natural and cultural attractions. Alesund's stunning Art Nouveau architecture is recognized globally. Narrow lanes are packed with buildings crowned with turrets, spires, and gables that feature dragonhead and curlicue decorations. As one of the few remaining Art Nouveau towns globally, Alesund was honored with the prestigious Houens National Memorial Prize in 1998 for preserving its unique architecture. The Alesund Museum, located in the town center, showcases the city’s rich history with ship models and vintage attire. For a stunning view of Old Alesund, the harbor, and the mountains beyond, take a walk up to Aksla hill. Bird enthusiasts will appreciate the island of Runde, a haven for birds. Alesund is a contemporary city with a diverse cultural scene and thrilling cafes and restaurants. The sea, the fjords, the mountains, the numerous islands, all so picturesque and welcoming, and the multitude of turrets, spires, and beautiful decorations that give the town its unique character are like something out of a fairytale.

nordfjordeid

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 17:00

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.
