Welcome on board the most scenic trains in the world, crossing Norway by rail.

From mountains, to fjords, to waterfalls, waterfalls, and more waterfalls.

We'll see all that and more in this ultimate two-day journey across Norway.

Hello Jet Setters, I'm Jeb Brooks from GreenerGrass.com.

We're crossing Norway by train, and you're coming along.

This is Norway's most popular trip, and there's more to it than just trains.

We'll travel by bus and ferry too.

This is Norway in a nutshell.

Here's the plan.

We'll start in Bergen on Norway's west coast.

We'll travel by train to Voss, where we'll get on a bus to Gudvangen.

Then, we'll hop on board a ferry to Flam before getting on two more trains to finally reach Oslo.

This trip promises non-stop scenery.

The trip starts in Norway's second largest city, Bergen.

Famous for its reign more than six feet a year, its stunning views were what captured our attention.

And the best views around can be reached by Funicular, which for less than $20 round trip is well worth your time and money.

It takes less than 10 minutes to climb the more than 1,000 feet up the side of the mountain Florian.

At the top, you're rewarded with a perfect panoramic perspective over Bergen.

Meanwhile, back at sea level, we stayed at the very comfortable Hotel Norge.

Hotel Norge.

We booked this trip as a package, including accommodations and transportation, with the help of our friends at Railbookers.

We'll go over booking options, along with what we paid later.

For now, it's time to start our adventure.

Our ultimate destination today is Flom, but we've got three legs to get through.

It looks like a beautiful day for a train ride, a bus ride, and a ferry ride.

The trip we're going to take between Bergen and Oslo, or vice versa, is referred to as Norway in a nutshell.

And that's probably the most popular train trip you can take in Norway, but we're gonna find out.

Is it worth all that popularity or is it just a bunch of marketing hype?

Norway in a nutshell is a self-guided tour of some of Norway's best scenery using only public transport.

It's mostly by rail, but there's a bus and a ferry too.

We'll tell you how to book it for yourself, but first we've got a train to catch.

It's definitely gonna be a transportation marathon, so get ready.

We've got it all.

We've got boats, we've got trains, we've got planes.

No, we don't I don't have planes.

No planes in this one.

But they're coming soon.

Sorry folks, no planes in this one.

Now we better board this train before we miss it.

You see, the last time we traveled through Europe by train, we were not very successful, so we're gonna do our best this time to be on time for each of these trains.

This leg is scheduled to take an hour and ten minutes.

And despite the busy station, our car was relatively empty.

We had assigned seats on this leg.

There was, of course, plenty of space for our luggage.

The bathrooms were large and clean.

And if you're looking for a boost, no problem, there's coffee available.

How's the Norwegian train vending machine coffee?

I've had better coffee, but at 35 kroner, pretty good deal.

As we mentioned, Norway in a nutshell takes advantage of public transportation, which means there are locals on board and in addition to tourists like us.

Both locals and tourists can enjoy this non-stop scenery, particularly if they're on the left side of the train.

Norway really has to be one of the world's most beautiful countries.

And as you'll see, this trip will allow you to experience some of the highlights in a fairly easy way.

This first leg got us excited about what we're about to see.

When we pulled into Voss, everyone in our car got out and followed these signs to the bus stop.

We had about 30 minutes here and the crowd at the bus stop swelled.

Our empty train car from Bergen must have been an anomaly.

This is a lot of people.

We were worried about finding seats.

Bus boy, it's your time to shine.

Just waiting.

Do you deny it?

Nope.

Are you a bus boy?

A boy who buses.

A man who buses.

I'm a bus man.

The buses are scheduled to leave at 10.10 and just before 10 they arrived.

We loaded our luggage and found space at the back of the second bus.

Turns out there was no reason to worry.

They operate several buses on this route, so finding space is no problem.

And this leg should take about an hour and 15 minutes.

There's a foot rest, luggage storage above the seats, and reading lights that only work when the bus is turned on, and that's about it.

At 10.13, we were on our way.

Now it's possible to do the entire nutshell in one day, but we'd encourage you to follow our lead and break it up.

Doing it all in a single day involves something like 14 hours of travel.

We're spending one night along the way, and we'd recommend you do the same, but more about that later.

Both sides of the bus offer equally impressive views.

You really can't go wrong on either side.

Pack your own water.

Is there a bathroom on this bus?

No bathroom, but there is a stop.

We also brought snacks along with us.

And unlike the train, it felt like this bus only had tourists on board.

I'm sure locals can use it, but they may choose a different mode of transportation, especially given the fact we turned off the main road about 45 minutes after leaving Voss.

You see, we're making our way up to the Stahlheim Hotel for a 10-minute photo stop.

The hotel is beautiful, but as we've come to learn, it's all about the views in Norway.

I gotta say, I'm sorry we're not staying here.

This looks pretty nice.

But it's on the Gudvagen from here.

But not before picking up a complimentary snack for the road.

Best part about this topic, complimentary lefse, a traditional Norwegian flatbread.

Let's try it.

Looks to be filled with maybe sugar?

Cinnamon sugar.

It's like a bread filled with cinnamon sugar.

Oh yeah, that's good.

I feel this is Norway's answer to the Stroopwafel.

How's that?

I like it.

100

We return to the main road, and it was this section, just after the Solheim Hotel, on the way into Gudvangen, that the true majesty of Norway began.

101

These mountains are hard to capture on camera.

102

They're just incredibly beautiful.

103

My camera lens just isn't wide enough to capture it.

104

With waterfalls seemingly at every turn and so much to see, it was impossible not to have your eyes glued out the window.

105

And about 30 minutes after leaving Stahlheim, we arrived in Gudvangen, where we followed clear signs to continue our journey, this time on a ferry.

106

We'll sail for two hours through three fjords to reach Flam, and that's where we'll spend tonight before continuing on again tomorrow.

107

There's plenty of space to store luggage on board.

108

And if you're hungry, there's a cafe, along with plenty of seats inside.

109

But we wanted to take in the view, so we headed outside.

110

There are no stairs on board, instead this is just one giant ramp.

111

There are also no chairs out here, so wear comfortable shoes.

112

There's a lot of standing on this ferry.

113

The train is spectacular, the bus is spectacular, will the ferry live up to it?

114

Let's find out.

115

As usual, we were on our way, right on time.

116

All of these fjords were formed by glacial activity millions of years ago, and they're absolutely incredible to see.

117

The sheer cliff faces are mind-blowing.

118

This is one of the most beautiful landscapes on planet Earth.

119

Narefjord has been called the most outstanding natural attraction in Norway.

120

It's on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and it's easy to see why.

121

At more than 12 miles long, its beauty is stunning.

122

It's surrounded by mountains towering up to a mile above the water, which reaches depths of up to 1,640 feet.

123

It's definitely showing off its beauty today.

124

We really lucked out with the weather.

125

We're traveling in late June and haven't seen much rain.

126

At least not yet.

127

Making this trip in summer is your best bet for good weather, of course, but you'll also be fighting more crowds.

128

And spotting other ferries along the way was a great reminder that we're truly experiencing Norway by public transport.

129

But there's something special about ours.

130

You see, not only is this catamaran absolutely silent, but it's also a zero emission vehicle.

131

By now, it's almost one o'clock in the afternoon and we're hungry.

132

So Suzanne went downstairs to the cafe where she got us two hot dogs and a beer to share.

133

Lunch was quick.

134

We didn't want to take our eyes off of these views.

135

On the final push into Flamme, we passed Arlenswangen, which is famous for its goat's cheese.

136

We're gonna try it later tonight at dinner.

137

Most passengers were continuing their journey onward to Oslo, so they had a train to catch, but we have other plans.

138

We left Bergen at 8.30 this morning and arrived here in Flam about six hours later, and that means we still have plenty of time to explore.

139

Great first day.

140

Made it here to Flam, which is our stop overnight.

141

Tomorrow we'll make our way onto Oslo.

142

We'd booked a room here at the Fretheim Hotel, located right in the heart of town, but we didn't want to stay in this room too long.

143

There's just too much to see out there.

144

So while you could cover the entire route between Bergen and Oslo in a single, full day, We chose to stay overnight in Flam, give ourselves some time to explore a little, so we're going on a hike.

145

I don't know about you, but this is just absolutely incredible.

146

Watch out for the cow poop.

147

The best part of taking this break was the chance to see Norway a little closer.

148

So far, we've been moving so fast, we've missed these details.

149

We even got a glimpse of the train we'll be on tomorrow.

150

But at this point, we were ready for a workout.

151

It's time to climb.

152

Is it time to burn off those hot dogs one step at a time?

153

Yes it is.

154

Burn off those dogs one step at a time.

155

The Brekkafossen waterfall hike is a short distance from Flom

156

and is a great way to stretch our legs at the end of this day.

157

I think I highly understand why they said don't go chasing waterfalls.

158

After about 20 minutes of steady climbing, we reached our destination.

159

At a bit more than 500 feet over the valley, we enjoyed a commanding view.

160

The view from the top is always worth the effort.

161

That was a pretty steep climb, which makes sense.

162

We're on the side of a fjord.

163

As you do in Norway.

164

As we began our hike back down to town, the rain started in earnest.

165

There's no bad weather, only bad clothes.

166

We're both wearing the right shoes, that's most important, and we've got the right outer layer for the rain, which we didn't expect until later.

167

But hey, Norway's got a Norway, you know what I mean?

168

I've got toilets everywhere in Norway.

169

This country is just incredible in terms of infrastructure.

170

You've got nothing to worry about when you come here.

171

Norway for the win.

172

Before long, we were back in town, right near the train station where we'll leave tomorrow.

173

I've never seen this before.

174

That's a device to wash train windows.

175

It's a good sign.

176

Hopefully, we'll get some good views tomorrow.

177

You might have heard that Norway is expensive, and it definitely is.

178

There's a grocery store in town and some takeaway spots where you can eat on the cheap.

179

We're going to treat ourselves tonight and eat out at a restaurant.

180

So let's check it out, and we'll let you know what it costs.

181

We ate at the local brew pub.

182

Their menu featured local dishes made with ingredients from nearby farms.

183

Like this salad with goat cheese from the town we'd seen in the ferry earlier today.

184

I had the lamb sausages, which I've been dreaming about ever since.

185

And Suzanne had the pork wing, which was equally delicious.

186

Now sure, everything is expensive here, but this meal is one we're going to remember for a long time to come.

187

And that's a wrap on day one.

188

It was so jam-packed.

189

I don't know why they call it a nutshell.

190

It needs a name that's way bigger than that.

191

This was a lot.

192

But we're going to head to bed now to wake up tomorrow for another journey.

193

This time, two trains on the way to Oslo.

194

The sun continued to shine well into the night.

195

It won't set until after 11 o'clock tonight.

196

And the next day came quickly.

197

Sunrise was before 4 a.m.

198

We enjoyed a buffet breakfast with international and local favorites before striking out on another adventure.

199

We are about to hop on the Flamsbana, that's about an hour-long train.

200

It'll take us up 3,000 feet up the side of the fjord.

201

Some amazing views there.

202

before we hop on the other train today, on to Oslo.

203

So, hope you'll join us for another day here in Norway in a nutshell.

204

I don't think that's our train.

205

I think our train is over there.

206

Is that right?

207

Yeah, that's our train, that's our train.

208

You know, somebody's always gonna be first in line and today it's Suzanne.

209

We really weren't sure what time to show up.

210

There's no assigned seats on this train, so we wanted to be here definitely early.

211

Now we arrived at 7.45 for our train's scheduled departure at 8.20 this morning.

212

It's an hour long trip up to Myrdal.

213

Our train is the first one out of Flam this morning, which is a great hack we'd recommend to you to avoid crowds.

214

You see, Flam is a major cruise destination, and these trains can fill up with cruisers.

215

It's a really good idea to book an early train before the cruise ships are even in port.

216

There was space at the front of our car for suitcases, and our backpacks fit easily over our seats.

217

This is a really cool, older train.

218

The best advice we dug up encouraged us to sit on the right side of the train for this leg, but more about that later.

219

In no time, Flam was behind us, and we were in the beautiful countryside where we'd hiked yesterday.

220

Now, every phone with a camera was aimed out the windows.

221

This was the best scenery we'd encountered yet, and that's really saying something, because we've seen so much already.

222

The Flam Railway is a true engineering marvel.

223

It's the steepest railway run on regular gauge in the world.

224

80% of the journey is at an incredibly steep 5.5% gradient.

225

The line is a mere 12.5 miles, but we'll pass through 20 tunnels that twist underneath and and through mountains.

226

This is absolutely one of the world's most beautiful train journeys.

227

Construction began in 1924 but wasn't finished until 1940.

228

You can still spot the road used to build the railway.

229

We stepped off briefly at the Shostfassen waterfall, where everyone who wants gets a free shower.

230

Oh, well, that'll wake you up.

231

Our destination, Myrdal, is where you can connect to the main line to Bergen or Oslo.

232

This town is inaccessible by road.

233

The only way to get here is by train, which made it even more impressive to see the massive crowd we encountered as we stepped off.

234

Everyone got here by rail.

235

And that right there is why you want to take the first train.

236

There's a lot of hype around this train.

237

It's been named the most scenic multiple times.

238

And my standards are kinda high, but I gotta say, jam-packed scenery start to finish.

239

for the right side of the train, but it's not like the left side is disappointing at all.

240

It's sort of divided into thirds, I would say.

241

The beginning third is good on the right side coming up, the middle third good on the left side, and then the final third good on the right side.

242

So that's why I think people say the right side, but you're going to be happy either way.

243

On to Oslo.

244

The train that brought us up the mountain began its journey back down, and we waited about 30 minutes for our train to arrive.

245

The train to Oslo should come out of that tunnel right there any minute now.

246

This will be the longest leg of the journey.

247

It should take about five hours to reach Oslo.

248

This is the first time since the train from Bergen when we had assigned seats.

249

We'd upgraded this leg of the trip to plus class, which affords a bit more leg room and free coffee and tea.

250

The bathrooms on board were clean and, for lack of a better word, forested.

251

There were also plugs at each seat.

252

And once more, we easily found space for our luggage and settled in for even more amazing scenery.

253

Now, it was during this lag that I became most grateful we'd broken up our trip with an overnight in Flamme.

254

Had we continued on yesterday without stopping, I might have fallen asleep and missed some of my favorite scenery of this whole trip.

255

Because we're climbing even higher, we're anticipating alpine views, and we certainly were not disappointed.

256

A quick reminder here, this is late June.

257

These landscapes couldn't be more different from the ones we've seen so far.

258

We're arriving at Finca.

259

This is the highest point on this line at 4,200 feet.

260

Sometimes, the scenery should just speak for itself.

261

But as impressive as the views outside were, we decided to explore the train a bit.

262

There's a car specially built for families, complete with a playground.

263

How great is that?

264

But we discovered what we were looking for, the cafe car.

265

There's a selection of snacks, along with a menu with cold items and one with hot items.

266

Susanne ordered the lasagna.

267

But if you've watched this channel before and you saw this menu, you knew I couldn't pass up the meatballs.

268

We lingered in the cafe car over views that didn't let up as we sped closer to Oslo.

269

Now before we talk about what we paid for this trip, let's start where we began this trip.

270

Let's start where we began.

271

Is it worth the hype?

272

Most definitely.

273

It has to be one of the most jam-packed with scenery.

274

It's also relatively accessible, well-organized, and as a result fairly easy for most tourists to do.

275

But that means a trade-off.

276

You won't be alone.

277

Expect crowds, and big ones, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't go.

278

Follow our lead and travel early in the day.

279

That way you may have a better chance at finding some elbow room along the way.

280

Now, taking this trip in a single day from Bergen to Oslo, or vice versa, costs around $350 per person for transportation only.

281

That's the tickets on the trains, bus, and ferry.

282

You can book it using the Norway in a Nutshell website.

283

However, we wanted to extend our trip and spend some time along the way, so we got help customizing our nutshell from railbookers.

284

They help with everything from booking our preferred hotel in Oslo right next to the train station to advising on

285

which side of the train to sit on along the way.

286

A trip like ours, over four days and three nights starts at $1,150.

287

But for the specific dates and hotels that we selected, we paid about $1,500 each.

288

If you'd like help planning this trip or any other rail adventures worldwide, head to railbookers.com slash greenergrass.

289

If you choose to book with them, we'll earn a small commission, which we'll use to bring you even more videos.

290

And it's time to start working on our next one because we've arrived in Oslo right on time.

291

Between now and the next time, see you on the rails.

292

Only husbands will understand.

293

Can't miss the shot.

294

Hiking paused.

295

Are you gonna miss the shot?

296

Not gonna miss my shot.

297

Rick said this was the Sunbelt compared to Bergen.

298

I don't know if I was expecting such an intense hike.

299

I was not fully expecting that we were gonna be taking a true hike.

300

I thought it was a little walk around town.

301

So I am not dressed appropriately, but it was totally worth it.

302

What'd you think of the flumps, bottom?

303

Bottom.

304

Bono.

305

Let me try that again.

306

Behind the scenes.

307

That's how the magic happens.

308

We like long layovers between our traits.

309

Why? For this.

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
