A model train has snaked its way through the world's biggest gingerbread village as it opens to the public.
Organisers say the gingerbread village, in Norway's second city Bergen on the country's east coast, is the world's biggest.
The annual display has become a popular event and local schools have been contributing to the building of the village consisting of hundreds of houses and other structures. This year's village also features an oil rig - a common sight off the coast of Norway.
Organiser Steinar Kristoffersen, said this year's village was bigger and nicer than last year's.
Kristoffersen said the gingerbread village, now in its twentieth year, was very popular.
He added that security had been increased this year as last year the village was vandalised less than a day after it was put on display by a drunk man.
