Further north, in Scandinavia, the scenic Flåm railway in the heart of Norway offers jaw-dropping views to wow even the most seasoned traveler.  Running from the village of Myrdal, nearly 900 metres above sea level, to the small village of Flåm nestling on the shores of the Aurlandsfjord far below, the amazing scenery ranges from snow-capped mountain peaks to the stunning Kjosfossen waterfall, where the train pauses for photos in Summer.  No trip to Norway is complete without taking in the natural beauty of the Flåmsbana, treating travelers to views only accessible by train.
