- The journey begins with a scenic drive along the Osterfjord, with Osterøy — Northern Europe’s largest inland island — on the left-hand side. At the fjord’s narrowest point, you’ll see the elegant suspension bridge connecting Osterøy to the mainland, before continuing through the varied landscapes of Vestland County, accompanied by engaging stories from your guide along the way.

Our first stop will be at the beautifull waterfall ''Mørkholsfossen''. The surrounding area is ideal for short hikes and nature walks. A scenic path along the river leads you to the best viewpoint, where the waterfall reveals its full beauty. The sound of rushing water dominates the atmosphere, creating a calming backdrop for picnics, photography, or simply soaking in the tranquility.
-
Fossen BratteJust 5 minutes drive from our first waterfall, we stop at Fossen Bratte, one of the most dramatic waterfalls along the route, often called “The Bride’s Veil” because of its elegant white spray – is known for its impressive 80-meter drop and the powerful roar that echoes through the valley. Today, the road passes through a tunnel behind the waterfall, but after parking, we can follow the old road to reach the top of the fall. You can also choose to go the opposite way - down to the bottom of this mighty cascade, where you can truly feel the strength of the water. Your guide is always with you, helping you find your way, take the best photos, and enjoy the best possible experience. Today we drive in a tunnel behind the waterfall, but when we park we can use the old road to get right up to the top of the waterfall.

We make a stop at Salthammeren, a unique cultural heritage site featuring rock carvings from the Stone Age. A short path leads you down to the rock surface where these ancient figures were carved into the mountainside — including animal motifs and symbols that offer a glimpse into the life and beliefs of the people who lived here thousands of years ago. From the viewpoint next to the carvings, you also get a fantastic overview of the Hardangerfjord and the majestic mountains surrounding it. The combination of history, culture, and nature makes this a truly memorable stop on the tour.

Hardanger Maritime CentreAfter enjoying the fjord scenery at Salthammeren, we continue to Norheimsund — often called the “capital” of the Hardanger region — with the fjord stretching out in front of us and majestic mountains rising behind. The scenic waterfront promenade of Norheimsund invites you to take a peaceful stroll while enjoying stunning views of the Hardangerfjord. The town is also known for its fruit farms, and during apple season, you can taste fresh apples straight from the tree. In Norheimsund, we visit the Hardanger Maritime Center — a living museum where traditional wooden boats, coastal crafts, and centuries-old techniques are still kept alive. You can watch skilled boatbuilders at work, explore authentic workshops, and step into Hardanger’s maritime heritage. To round off the visit, enjoy a delicious slice of homemade apple pie — a beloved local treat served at the museum café!
