Awaiting Your Return From Shore |
Fl�m is the destination of the 12-mile branch line of the train from Myrdal, a 50-minute ride that plummets nearly 3,000 feet into the Fl�m Valley. The tiny village lies at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, amid meadows and orchards, surrounded by towering mountains. A trip on the famous Fl�m Railway is a thrilling experience. Its track took four years to complete, leading through breathtaking mountain scenery, past cascading waterfalls and through hand-dug tunnels. At one point the train travels through a reverse tunnel in order to negotiate a gradient of nearly a thousand feet, making it one of the steepest anywhere in the world. Wisely, the train is equipped with five separate sets of brakes, each capable of bringing it to a stop. It operates year-round a great tourist attraction during the summer and a local lifeline during the deep winter months. Tiny Fl�m can get very crowded with train travelers and tourists from ferry boats that ply between here and Gudvangen. Strolling around the few souvenir shops or a walk in the picturesque Aurland Valley are popular pastimes. Guests who departed the ship in Gudvangen on the overland excursion will rejoin here in Flam. |
