'Landscape & Local Story'

 

Bryggen (view from Bergen Havn 📍), the historic wharf of Bergen, Norway, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site lined with colorful wooden buildings dating back to the Hanseatic trading era. In winter, when snow falls softly over its peaked roofs and cobblestone alleys, the scene transforms into a Nordic postcard, bright façades glowing against the white, with the scent of cinnamon buns and fresh coffee drifting from cozy cafés. The surrounding mountains and harbor complete this serene winter panorama.


'...Local guides like to recall that during particularly heavy snowfalls, Bryggen’s narrow passages once acted as natural wind tunnels, piling snow so high that shopkeepers had to dig tunnels to reach their doors. On one such occasion in the early 20th century, legend says a fisherman arrived at his usual tavern by crawling through a snow arch, only to find it already full of neighbors doing the same.
