Flam Church - During the Middle Ages, Flåm was home to two churches. One stood where the current church is located, and the other was at Fretheim. Both were likely stave churches. The church at Fretheim was unfortunately destroyed by wind after just a year.
The existing church was originally tarred and dark brown. Around 1830, it was painted white…
- Flam Church - During the Middle Ages, Flåm was home to two churches. One stood where the current church is located, and the other was at Fretheim. Both were likely stave churches. The church at Fretheim was unfortunately destroyed by wind after just a year.
The existing church was originally tarred and dark brown. Around 1830, it was painted white and remained that color for nearly a century before returning to brown.
This church is a long wooden structure, relatively small, accommodating about 150 people.
It features numerous illustrations, including acanthus borders, roses, and simple depictions of lions, hares, foxes, and deer, along with landscapes and trees.
The pews still have doors, and the church possesses communion silver dating back to the 16th century.
- Berekvam Station - Berekvam is situated 343 meters above sea level. Historically, it housed a letter house, a grocery store, and a primary school. Additionally, there was a very popular café.
It is believed that horses particularly enjoyed the café.
They were tasked with pulling carts filled with heavy tourists up the slopes, and it was mandatory for them to rest for an hour at the café. In those days, tourists could enjoy beer and wine. After the railway took over, the travel experience became somewhat more reserved.
Berekvam is the only station with double tracks for crossing.
There will be a brief wait here due to oncoming trains.
Please keep the doors closed.
- Blomheller - Blomheller is located 450 meters above sea level. Until 1944, all trains on the Flåm Line were steam-powered.
In 1944, the Kjosfossen Hydroelectric Power Plant was completed, situated near the Kjosfossen stop.
From 1947, all trains were powered by electricity. Most of the power generated is used to operate the railway, including the Flåm Line.
During World War II, Norwegian forces aimed to sabotage the line to hinder the occupiers. Consequently, it was decided to blow up the Blomheller tunnel. This was challenging due to the hard rock.
The operation was executed, but the explosion did not cause significant damage. The tunnel was cleared and repaired relatively quickly. The hole in the tunnel roof from the dynamite charge is still visible.
- Myrdalsberget - Myrdalsberget, with its 21 sharp bends, is part of the Rallarvegen, constructed in 1893. This section of the track, Pinnalia, between Kjosfossen and Nåli, was once feared. Snow slides and rockfalls gave it a notorious reputation.
However, due to essential and extensive safety work, the 300-meter-long section is now one of the safest on the Flåm Railway.
- Kjosfossen Waterfall - Kjosfossen waterfall, along with the power plant, is located 669 meters above sea level, and there is a photo stop here for about 5 minutes.
Please be aware that the platform can be slippery. The waterfall boasts an impressive free fall of 93 meters.
Kjosfoss power station began operations on October 27, 1944, and just over a month later, the first electric motor vehicle traveled the line to Flåm.
