Raudmelen Hike Trail, Balestrand, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway
Balestrand is a gem on the shores of Sognefjord, surrounded by the beautiful Esefjella mountains. This little place has been the preferred haven of emperors and kings, artists and photographers. Paintings of the mountain range hang in the Norwegian Royal Palace and in the National Gallery, and it is the mountain range most depicted in Western Norway.
You don’t have to be a hiker to enjoy the mountains. Balestrand has numerous short hikes suitable for people not used to hiking in the mountains and who do not have an entire day at their disposal or want a child-friendly trip.
