The seven-hour train trip from Oslo to Bergen is hailed as one of the world's most scenic, & it lives up to that reputation - the view outside the window evolves steadily & engagingly, from the city landscape to a terrain of mountain plateaus, wide-open plains & icy lakes characterised as 'Norway in a nutshell.' The food aboard is pleasant too, with a focus on local produce - a salad of chicken from the Horpestad farm, beans & lentils, & bacalao made with Norwegian fish stock from the Dybvik family.
