Top 10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Hordaland, Western Norway

September 19, 2021 Russell Mellin

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.

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.

Happened to come across this place by chance. The bartender Marco was super nice and we had a great chat. He made some of the best cocktails I've ever had! Definitely an awesome way to spend my last night on holiday.
