Geiranger Halal Travel Guide

Die fantastische Landschaft rund um Geiranger. 02 - Geirangerfjord and Geiranger, from Flydalsjuvet 2016 Geiranger is the tiny village and rural community at the eastern end of Geirangerfjord. Hellesylt village sits at the western end of Geirangerfjord, and from there the fjord does a sharp turn north with the name Sunnylvsfjord. The latter fjord is in turn connected to the main fjord, aptly named Storfjord (Large fjord), at small town Stranda. Strictly speaking Geirangerfjord is merely the last section of the larger Storfjord system. Storfjord is one of main fjord systems in Western Norway. While Geiranger and Hellesylt are small villages, Stranda is the municipal centre. Several hundred cruise ships with some 300,000 passengers visit Geirangerfjord every summer, as cruise port only surpassed by Bergen. Many tourists arrive by charter bus. In addition there is a large number of independent travellers. Geiranger itself is a small village of 200 people and the influx of 5000 (or more) tourists daily makes Geiranger a relatively crowded place at day time. The Geirangerfjord is one of Norway's oldest destinations for international tourism. Cruise ship tourism began in the late 19th century. Kaiser Wilhelm visited Geiranger every summer until the first war. Road 63 (Norway) | Road 63 between Åndalsnes and Geiranger via Valldal is one of Norway's 18 national tourist routes and these routes are the most scenic drives in Norway.
