Costa Luminosa - Åndalsnes

28/07/2010

The town of Andalsnes near the Romsdalsfjord attracts keen anglers from all over the world - among them the Prince of Wales - eager to try their luck in battle with the famed salmon stocks of the Rauma river.
Sportsmen of a different kind - climbers - also flock to Andalsnes, to scale the nearby Trollwall wall, the highest rock face on the continent, set amid a spectacular glacial landscape which punctuates a fertile countryside that is the focus of intense agriculture, particularly Valldal strawberries and other fruit production.
Sixty years ago, Andalsnes was the site of some fierce fighting during the Second World War, involving British troops. Much of the town was destroyed and has been reconstructed, giving modern-day Andalsnes a bright appearance and pleasant atmosphere.
