Bergen

Salt spray hits my face with an icy sting, carrying the sharp scent of seaweed and cold North Atlantic air off the Norwegian coast. Why Bergen is Perfect for Water Activities # The Norwegian coastline around Bergen cuts deep into the bedrock, creating a sheltered maze of fjords and channels that call out to anyone who loves being on the water. Flanked by steep mountain walls and fed by glacial runoff, this region offers dramatic landscapes that change constantly with the shifting Nordic light. When you travel through these waters, the scale of the cliffs dwarfs your vessel, and the silence between engine rumbles is absolute.
