Lacking control of the air, the forces at Åndalsnes were withdrawn in early May, 1940.

 Jacob's pictures
The bus ride from Geiranger to Åndalsnes was absolutely spectacular and one of the most amazing things I have experienced in the whole trip, including South America.
It was breathtaking scenery the whole trip - glaciers, snow capped mountains, crystal clear rivers and huge waterfalls, vibrant green pastures and forest scattered with dashes of yellow and purple from the various flowers growing.
Åndalsnes was a fairly nice little place, however upon arriving most things were shut so I was forced to camp on an extremely bumpy piece of ground on the side of the road.

In April and early May, 1940 Namsos was the scene of heavy fighting in World War Two between Anglo-French naval and military forces and German military and air forces.
The back and forth dithering of the chiefs of staff wasted time and soon the group took the counsel of its fears.
The southern arm of the attack which landed at Ã…ndalsnes, was soon drawn into a fight alongside the Norwegians to block the northward advance of the Germans from Oslo and was no longer available to attack Trondheim.

Dip into the region from Bergen, ndalsnes or even Stavanger, all accessible direct by train from Oslo, or take more time to appreciate the subtle charms of the tiny, fjordside villages, among which Balestrand and Fjrland are especially appealing.
This is great hiking country too, with a network of cairned trails and lodges (maintained by the nationwide hiking association DNT) threading along the valleys and over the hills.
