About this audio guide
This audio guide to Gudvangen, at the head of the Nærøyfjord in Bergen's fjord country, starts with a pale pebble from the path and follows the white rock inside the surrounding mountains. It takes in the miners who began tunnelling here in the nineteen sixties, the companies that bought in, and the fjord's World Heritage listing in two thousand five. Listen near the quay, with the fjord in front of you.
