Things to do in Hordaland, Western Norway: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

August 30, 2021 Chanda Heide

Lying at the heart of Norway’s Western Fjord area, Hordaland is home to culturally rich Bergen, the country’s second largest city. Hardangerfjord, Norway’s second-longest fjord (and the third-longest in the world), is here too, and cruising along its scenic 110 miles is a top area activity. Leirvik, the second-biggest town in Hordaland, has the interesting open-air Sunnhordland Folk Museum. Set atop one of the country’s biggest glaciers, Folgefonna National Park has a popular summer ski center.

Reviewed By reise3

After purchasing a beautiful sweater on a previous trip, I was anxious to visit the shop again. This time, I discovered the gorgeous wool & silk scarves. I didn't even realize each scarf's design was actually an image from a Norwegian landscape until Susan pointed it out. Love the designs & quality of the pieces, and, somehow, it makes each piece even more special when you mean the designer, herself.

Reviewed By Elensaar - Nesoddtangen, Norway

They had so many fantastic pieces that choosing what to get was really hard. The exhibition they had was really cool and fun, and the atmosphere in the shop was exactly the kind of open and playful place that invites you to browse the art for ages. Strongly recommended!
