The zoo can be proud of such wildlife representatives, such as the red pandas, whose species, unfortunately, are threatened by extinction.
Dads will be charmed by other town attraction – Cannon Museum. Møvik Fort located in the museum exhibits the world’s second largest cannon, with the length of 20 meters, and the weight – 337 tons. That cannon can shot for more than 50 kilometers!
“Seven Sisters” and Geiranger fjord. Legend has it that this stunning waterfall is actually a Viking who went out into the world to look for a wife. On the road he met seven beautiful sisters but the grief and the inability to choose one of them to be his bride, eventually caused Viking to melt and turn into a waterfall.
At the other shore of the fjord, all the sisters were frozen too. This waterfall is often considered the most beautiful in Norway. In order to see the breathtaking views, it is necessary to take the ferry, which will let you admire the steep rocky shores and flowing waterfalls stretching along the Geiranger fjord, without anything blocking the view.
Kongsberg silver mines. For 300 years miners marched around in this silver mine, which is now opened to visitors who want to get acquainted with the subtleties of silver mining. The deepest mine, a place reaching up to 1000 meters underground, operated until 1958.
Tourists are guided throughout this mine by the “Troll“. Here, you will be provided with helmets on your heads, but don’t be surprised by being constantly silenced – you should be quite in order not to wake up evil spirits sleeping in the mountain.
