Motorcycle touring gear packed and ready for departure in Norway

On the third day, everything is packed and we continue north toward Bergen. The scenery is incredibly diverse: small fjords, occasional waterfalls, and open views of the sea, all surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes.

Norway is truly a dream destination for motorcycle touring. The roads are often empty, and it is not unusual to ride for 10 minutes without seeing another vehicle. Although this was a long stage of around 320 km, every kilometer was enjoyable due to the stunning scenery. We usually leave early, as we tend to spend more time than planned at beautiful viewpoints. In the late afternoon, we finally arrive in Bergen.

From here, we ride to Bergen harbor, where we can safely park our motorcycles. First, we explore the historic harbor district. The colorful wooden houses of Bryggen offer fantastic photo opportunities. Later, we take the cable car up Mount Ulriken for a stunning panoramic view over Bergen. There is also a road that allows motorcycles to reach part of the mountain, offering another great viewpoint over the city.
