From London To Stavanger: Stavanger calls itself, and has been called above, a New Gateway to Norway, and as such it should come into consideration in your preliminary planning. You may now fly directly from New York to Stavanger, or from London to Stavanger, by SAS and you will find the city ready for you with at least two new hotels of high grade, the Atlantic and the Alstor.By the Discovery Route you travel from Stavanger to the Hardanger-fjord, from any of whose ports you are within easy range of Bergen and the Bergen-Oslo Railway. There are five stages in the trip to Odda, southernmost port of the S0rf jord, which is, in name and fact, the long narrow Southfjord, an arm of the Hardangerfjord. Here they are: (1) fjord motor ship of the Stavanger Steamship Company (restaurant and observation lounge; this stage 4% hours) to Sand; (2) bus to Solheimsvik on Lake Suldal; (3)
The former, opened in 1952, is one of the leading hotels in Scandinavia. It has every luxury, and some of its rooms go so far as to provide an electric refrigerator! The Stavanger Steamship Company sends its white ships along the coastal lanes into the labyrinthine southern fjords and within the open door of the Discovery Route. Like all Norway's steamer lines this one has been brought up to the minute by a strenuous building and rebuilding campaign inaugurated after the war. Both by air and rail, as well as by a coastal steamer route, Stavanger is linked directly to Oslo. It has also swift steamer services to Bergen and all points north; and air services by the northern arm of SAS to Bergen and Trondheim and clear up to Hammerfest and beyond the North Cape to Kirkenes, the northern gateway to Finland. |
