Lærdal to Florø on the Rv5

Description

Looking to enhance your Norwegian road-trip? Get our guide for the drive from Lærdal to Florø on the Rv5!

The scenic highway from Lærdal to Florø weaves its way around the mountains between the Sognefjord and the Nordfjord, passing some of Norway’s most spectacular glaciers including the famous Jostedalsbreen glacier. The road was built in stages throughout the 20th century and is now one of the major highways for Western Norway. This fjord-to-coast highway takes you from the innermost part of the Sognefjord to the coastal village of Florø, on the westernmost part in Norway.

This guide will:

• Answer the question “How do people live here?”
• Provide you with historic images and stories relevant to where you are
• Give you practical tips such as – where’s the nearest toilet? When can I get a hot dog? You know, the important stuff.
• Show you interesting points where you can stop to stretch your legs or get beautiful photos of Norway
• Give you information about museums (including opening hours), attractions, and major points of interests that you can visit

This guide won’t:

• Drive for you (Sorry, we aren’t that advanced yet)
• Give you accommodation tips (this guide assumes you know where you are staying already). If you want accommodation tips, visit our (free) online travel guide https://thehiddennorth.com/norway
• List experiences (think of this guide as more of a fun, informative directory. If you want to know what you can do, head to our free online travel guide)
• Detailed overview of hikes. We do list famous hikes, but don’t provide much information each one. This guide is purely for the A to B. Again, head to our free online travel guide for that information.
• Give you a detailed map overview. We have a basic map guide, but if you are looking for something detailed, I recommend buying one online! (click here for my recommendation)

Our guides are packed! Here’s what this one includes:

• Free interactive Google Map (with every place mentioned in the guide marked with an address) that can be loaded into your GPS, making finding that stave church or petrol station much easier.
• Detailed overviews of all the major points of interest on the road.
• Practical information (cafes, dining, museums, toilets, petrol, road-side rest areas, detours, alternate routes)
• Historic, modern and practical information for every city, town, village, and farm you pass through
• Modern and historic images of all the major points of interests
• Distance between points
• QR code & interactive links to museum websites, relevant pages on our website, ferry timetables, and more!
