HISTORY

History

The history of the Norwegian fjords dates back to the glacial era, when gigantic glaciers shaped the coastal landscape of Norway.
About 10,000 years ago, the thaw left deep grooves in the rock, forming the impressive fjords we know today. Since the Middle Ages, these fjords have been vital for local life, serving as routes for trade and fishing. Fishing villages emerged on their shores, where maritime culture and tradition flourished.
During the 19th century, the fjords began to attract tourists, becoming a popular destination for explorers and painters. Today, they are recognized as a World Heritage Site for their natural beauty and cultural value.
