Flåm Railway, Norway

Today we traveled from Ulvik to Fagernes. Along the way we went through the Gudvanga tunnel, 7.1 miles long and Norway's second longest tunnel, and stopped for a ride on the Flåm railway, a 12.6 mi long railway line between Myrdal and Flåm in Aurland, Norway. The line's elevation difference is 2,831 ft; it has ten stations, twenty tunnels and one bridge. The maximum gradient is 5.5 percent (1:18), making it the steepest standard gauge railway in Europe. Again there are loads of waterfalls along the way - this is Kjosfossen, the largest.

The train also runs through the valley of Flåmsdalen.
