DETOURS
Hemsedal
A great detour is to head for the Hemsedalsfjellet area, where you can admire the impressive mountains and scenery of the Hemsedal valley. You can take part in some of the many varied activities the area has to offer all year round.
Explore Hardanger
From Eidfjord, we recommend you to spend a day in Hardanger to experience the charming small villages and the magnificent scenery. If you head up into the mountains, you will come to Hardangervidda, the largest mountain plateau in Northern Europe. Two of the biggest glaciers in Norway, Hardangerjøkulen and Folgefonna, are in Hardanger. From glaciers and high mountains, the waterfalls cascade down into the Queen of the Fjords – the Hardangerfjord.
A trip to the villages Lofthus and Utne on the south side of the Hardangerfjord is also recommended.
Rosendal
When in the Hardanger area, we recommend a visit to Rosendal, whose combination of majestic scenery and cultural attractions make this beautiful village well worth a visit.
