Lovely little place in Flåm with quality home made food. Perfect place to enjoy lunch with views to the busy Flåm scene, but the location is calm and nice. The food and vibe of the place is very nice.

Would recommend to have a snack / bun / homemade bread form here. It is a small place in the middle of Flåm, gets very busy in the high season, but its worth to pick up some pastries to enjoy lunch! Many options and good quality.

If you enjoy hiking - walking in the mountains - Aurlandsdalen - Østerbø to Vassbygdi is a must. About 6-7h walk, down the amazing Aurlandvalley. You cannot have problems with your knees, then you will have an awfull trip, as it is quite steep from Sinjarheim (an old farm) down to Vassbygdi. Amazing views. Recommended.
