VOSS

Voss sits on a sparkling lake not far from the fjords and this position has earned it a world-
renowned reputation as Norway's adventure capital. The town itself is far from pretty:
everyone is here for white-water rafting, bungee jumping and just about anything you can
do from a parasail, most of it out in the fjords.
