Day 7: Balestrand under the rain


We had planned a full day in Balestrand to go for a long hike. However, the weather was not really good and we had to go for plan B.

We then decided to stroll on the yellow-marked discovery trail that runs along Balestrand from the heights of the forest. The setting is extraordinarily green and pure. The walk is strewn with wooden pontoon bridges going over small streams of water.






Since we could not really hike, we went to visit the aquarium (Sognefjord Akvarium).
Address: By the harbour
Opening Hours: Depending on the day, every day between 7 a.m. (or 9 a.m.) to 7 p.m. (or 9 p.m.).
Admission: NOK 70

It makes you pass the time but the place itself has nothing extraordinary. In small aquariums are piled up local species like starfish, turbot, flying fish, etc. The ticket also offers you an hour of rowing boat ride on the fjord, but when it is raining… That’s miss!
Failing that, we were able to admire the view on the fjord from the pontoon bridge.
It may be noted once again that the aquarium’s bakery is worth being visited: Good bread and excellent cakes!
