Waterfall Attractions In Hardanger Fjord

TOP 10 MUST-SEE PLACES IN NORWAY - A Photographer's Guide

This is a travel guide to Norway showing the top 10 places you must see if you’re visiting. These tips are from the perspective of a photographer, but the places are perfectly fine to visit if you’re a regular traveller as well.

I’ve been fortunate enough to travel around in Norway almost contently for the past few years as a time-lapse photographer. That has given me extensive knowledge of what Norway has to offer, also outside the most touristic places. This list includes some true hidden gems you might not have heard of before.

Norway is a fantastic country, and this list could’ve been much, much longer. But these are my favorites, and I’m sure you’ll love them too.

The full list:
1. Senja
1. Varangerhalvøya
1. Femundsmarka
4. Loenvatnet
5. Valdres
6. Hardanger
7. Helgeland
8. Lofoten
9. Nærøyfjorden
10. Jettegrytene i Nissedal

Norway - Hardangerfjorden

The Hardanger fjord is the second largest in Norway and among the most picturesque of them all. The edge of Hardangervidda is where the mountain plateau looms over a large waterfall. At the bottom the fjord ends, or begins like in this video. We take on a drive on the northern side of the fjord, on narrow roads, past small villages, on the ferries that still exist. It was a long day, but a rewarding one under the clear, blue sky.

Fjord tours from Bergen, Norway

Bergen is the Gateway to the Fjords of Norway!

The best starting point to experience the most magnificent fjord landscape, with narrow fjords, glaciers, steep mountain sides, beautiful islands and spectacular waterfalls.

The fjords are by far the biggest attraction in Scandinavia, and Bergen is by far the best starting point for exploring the nature visitors come from all over the world to see. Bergen is situated halfway between the two biggest fjords in Western Norway – the Sognefjord and the Hardangerfjord and it also has a fantastic coastline with thousands of large and small islands.

From Bergen you can get to even the innermost reaches of the fjords and back again in one day. The fjord cruises are varying in length, and there are many organised fjord tours that guarantees a memorable experience.
