BergenOur tour starts in the city of Bergen - the Gateway to the Fjords. The city was founded in 1070 and contains many historical and cultural landmarks. We will pass some of them on our way from the city and also on our return to Bergen. (Usually we do not stop here.)
-
Osteroy MunicipalitySørfjorden or the South fjord is part of the Osterfjord which is a peculiar natural phenomenon: an salt water inlet that surrounds the largest inland island in Northern Europe - Osterøy Island - enclosed by contitental land. We drive along the South fjord until we come the the crossroads in Trengereid.
-
From the village of Trengereid we take Route #7 to the Hardangerfjord. (Usually we do not stop here.)
-
Hardangervegen or the Hardanger Road is Norwegian route #7. This road is a tourist attraction in itself. We will see beautiful sights along the way: mountains, lakes and waterfalls. On the way to the Hardangerfjord we will make two photo stops at 2 waterfalls: Fossen Bratte and Steinsdalsfossen.
-
Fossen BratteWe make a stop at Fossen Bratte waterfall - 259 feet (79 meters) tall. The view is great and you can take some memorable pictures here. A short walking tour to the bottom of the waterfall is highly recommended - you simply must feel the roaring freshness and gentle and pure water drops on your face.
-
Steinsdalsfossen WaterfallThe next stop is at Steinsdalsfossen waterfall - 164 feet (50 meters) tall. You can actually walk behind the falling water without getting wet. A walk behind the waterfall to the view point is highly recommended.
-
NorheimsundWe pass through a small town of Norheimsund - the local municipal administration center on our way to the Hardangerfjord.
-
Hardanger FjordThe Hardangerfjord is the second longest fjord in Norway. We will be travelling along the fjord to Tørvikbygd - a small village from where a car ferry will take us acorss the fjord to Jondal - a settlement on the south side of the Hardangerfjord. The ferry ride takes approx. 20 minutes. While on the ferry, we can leave the car and enjoy a different view of the fjord.
-
JondalThe ferry arrives in the village of Jondal and from here we start our ride to Folgefonna glacier. Mesmerising views of the rugged mountain scenery will make an unforgettable impression.
-
Folgefonna National ParkAscending from the sea level at the Hardangerfjord to the hight of approx. 3940 feet (1200 m) ASL, the mountain road takes us to Folgefonna glacier. Folgefonna has a ski center operating during summer. Here we will have our picnic/lunch if this option is booked. A glacier hike can be booked as a part of a group or with a private glacier guide, for additional payment in advance - we would have to make arrangements. After a refreshing break at the bottom of the glacier we start our return to Bergen.
-
Hardanger FjordWe return to Jondal. The ferry takes us back to the north side of the Hardangerfjord. Ferry crossing takes approx. 20 minutes. We return to Bergen the same way.
