Would like to drive and visit the fjords. Can you recomend the most scenic drive. Our idea is to drive, stop and stay in the small villages and go out in the local smaller boats into the fjords we’re not fans of the mass tourism from cruises so fjords away from the cruise liners would be ideal. Preferably ones that are also breathtakingly beautiful. What would be the best time of the year in which to go and how long would you recomend?

While driving to our home/room for the night outside of Loen ( Thank You Synnove ), we were stopped by bandits. They were a “fierce” band of six year old children. They blocked that narrow road, in a fashion, with one kid waving a stick off to the side and then politely asked for 5 krone for the 3 plums one of the kids held out to us. We gave them 10 K for the plums and left in peace. They did not want to take the extra money, but we insisted. A very funny and memorable moment! Beautiful area and very nice people. Everyone we met in the area were very gracious and we wish to thank them for their kindness.
