    Gudvangen, Sogn og Fjordane

    Gudvangen is tucked away in a quiet southern recess of the great Sognefjord,

    Gudvangen is at the end of the Nærøyfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord and the narrowest navigable fjord in the world. Over a thousand years ago this was a Viking trading centre and by the 17th century over 400 people lived in the town. However, more than half the population of that time emigrated – mainly to North America – because there was not enough land to support the population.
    This was one of Norway’s first cruise destinations – the old souvenir shop was built in 1876 – but lack of building land means that Gudvangen has changed very little and it remains a typical fjord village. The White Caves, about 6km out of town, offer a stunning sound and light show. The caves are carved out of anorthosite – ‘white rock’ – which is only found in large quantities here – and on the moon.

    • Many tales have been born in the area of Gudvangen. Sailing into the Nærøyfjord and sighting the cliff called The Hoof, we can surely understand why.
