Nærøy fjord

 Norvège > Vestland

---

In 2005, the fjords of Nærøy and Geiranger were listed on UNESCO’s list of world-heritage sites as western Norwegian-fjord landscapes. The older picture shows an environment typical of the time before the first Great Change: many small buildings and an open landscape characterized by manual farming. Today the buildings show a surprising lack of change, while the surrounding landscape has become more wooded. This is due to both natural regrowth and the planting of spruce.
