Flam,
This is the port I was really looking forward. I had bought tickets for the famous Flam Railway. The 20 km long famous Railway between Flåm and Myrdal.

After boarding the train we travelled along the banks of the Flåm River, which is one of the best salmon rivers in the country. The train winds it's way all the way to Myrdal. 2.845 feet (861 m) above sea level. We loved the fantastic scenery. It travelled along the 12.5 miles (21 km) track, including the sheer drop of the Rjoande Waterfall and the impressive peak of Vibmesnosi Mountain.
There was a brief stop at the Kjos Fossen Waterfall to photograph the spectacular 305-feet (93 m) cascading waterfall. Look out for the Mermaid.
At Myrdal, the train turns around and returns to Flåm.

She is the Huldra, an elusive forest spirit from Norse mythology. According to local folklore, she lures men into the woods to seduce them.
The Flam Railway travels through some of the most stunning scenery in whole of Norway. It is an amazing piece of engineering which provides wonderful views of the mountains and waterfalls in this beautiful part of Norway.
At Myrdal, the train turns around and returns to Flåm.
To climb the 985 feet (300 m) Myrdalsberg, the railroad is built on 4 levels. As your train stands on the 4th level, you can see all the other 3 levels. To ensure the best possible views the train will slow down at the finest sections, so you have time to capture the dramatic scenery.
