Stop At: Hardangerfjord, Bergen 5601 Norway

The Hardangerfjord is the fourth longest fjord in the world, and the second longest in Norway. It is located in Vestland county in the Hardanger region. The 800 meter (2400 ft) deep fjord stretches 179 kilometres (111 mi) from the Atlantic Ocean into the mountainous interior of Norway along the Hardangervidda plateau.
About 8,000 BC, the Scandinavian land mass started to rise up as enormous glacial ice started to melt. The lower parts of the valleys became flooded, and so created what we today know as the Hardangerfjord. The valley was originally not only made through glacial erosion but by the high pressure melting water which pushed its way beneath the ice. Hardanger has a lot to offer with many scenic gems; fjords, mountains, waterfalls, glaciers and orchards. The 800 meters (2400 ft) deep Hardangerfjord offers scenery that even the most well-travelled tourists will find spellbinding. Here you will find cultural and natural gems side by side.
