The smallest village on the Auerland Fjord has eight people. One house that sits alone atop a mountain has no contact with the outside world. Near this house is a Viking burial site sitting at the base of a mountain. The site is a mound covered with stones. There are many Viking burial sites throughout the land of Norway.
Trains are one of the most popular forms of transportation.
The trains not only take the traveler through cities, but also through the countryside, where untouched, snow-covered land seems to go on forever. Mountains are draped with blue icicles and ice falls cascade down into their valleys. As the train travels up and down the sides of the mountains the sunrises and sunsets radiate off of the snow. Most people walk everywhere they need to go. In Oslo and Bergen, the two largest cities, cobble-stone and brick streets are lined with many shops.
