Sognefjord is the largest fjord in Europe and the second longest fjord in the world (204 km). Due to its size pleasure boats work only in its separate parts. Only few speedboats pass all the fjord from Flam to Bergen. We used the ferry on Naeroyfjord, which belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
