After having driven over Hardangervidda and visited Vøringsfossen, we hit the fjord and the area called Hardanger. The area here is beautiful, very Norwegian with the fjords and mountains. Just like a lot of the fjord areas building roads has not been the easiest, so the national tourist roads here is a tourist attraction in… Continue reading Road trip 12: Hardanger

Road trip 11: Vøringsfossen
On our way over Hardangervidda, our main stop was by a Waterfall called Vøringsfossen. The name is derived from the old norse verb vyrða, that means esteem/revere, and fossen that means waterfall.
