I did this as Hardanger in a Nutshell tour, so all travel was sorted. First a train from Bergen to Voss a bus to Ulvik passing an awesome rainbow shrouded waterfall, then onto the fjord cruise ????. Seamlessly timed to perfection. The Vøringsfoss Waterfall and Maagdal Canyon were beautiful. The trip to Hardanger Nature Centre wasn’t as great a success- if you’re prone to vertigo or sea sickness, you might want to skip the move as the aerial swooping over 5 shaped screens apparently affects quite a few people, myself included. Have a coffee or lunch instead or check out the gift shop. Back on the boat and a bus back to Bergen, all through beautiful scenery.A great day and good value

Naeroyfjord

Reviewed By simply-peregrinating - Waddington, United Kingdom

We were fortunate to be on a cruise ship small enough to go down Nærøyfjord almost to Gundavgen. The scenery is marvellous, from the water to the mountain top. Every now and then waterfalls cascade down the sides. As you sail down the fjord you pass scattered traditional farmsteads before reaching Gundavgen.

Melsvannet

Melsvannet lake is located between Bryne and algard, along Rv506. Ideal swimming spot. The area is nicely landscaped, has a parking area with toilet, a fishing quay and a tour road around the lake well-suited for wheelchair users. From the summit of Melsnuten, north of the lake, you have an amazing panorama of Jaeren. In normal winters Melsvannet lake freezes over - great for ice skating, with cross-country skiing in the surrounding hills. The parking area by Melsvannet is a good starting point for walks to Lyngaland, a farm dating back to the age of migrations, or you can wander over to Saelandskogen woods.

A very quiet place to take your kayak to. After some rowing, you will be greeted by Austerdalsbreen glacier which is majestic!
