Sightseeing
This is written by one of my guests;
“The cruise is called Hardangerfjord to Eidfjord. You can book it at the Tourist Information Centre in Bergen 850 NOK p.p. or online. You get the timetable and details.
Everything was well and easy arranged. You take an early bus (7:25) for 1,5 hours from Bergen busstation.
You have to be on time!
In Norheimsund is the cruiseterminal. The bus delivers you there. You can sit in or outside. The cruise is 3,5 hours.
In Eidfjord you get off and explore the village. We took a walk by the river to a beach and Viking burialground. You can also take a bus to a waterfall. Ticket can be bought at Tourist information centre at Eidfjord. Good ice cream, close at the water, there!
We loved the cruise. Beautiful view of the fjord and waterfalls! Really tired afterwards, but it was worth it.
The cruiseschip will take you back to Norheimsund. There you wait for half an hour. The bus will take you back to Bergen.
Here your can read more and book at Norled webpage.

Pizzabakeren Sandviken
Quick and affordable pizza just 6min walk away.
SUSHI ROOM
Great sushi just a short walk away.
Best pizza in the area. However it’s 1,8k away - so a long walk or jump on the bus and it will take you 5min to get there.

Great scenery after 20-40 min steep walk up stairs of rocks. Can be used as a very good training session or just a Sunday walk in sneakers.

Local hike straight from our place. Only 1,2k - mostly uphill hike on paved path with some gravel on the last part. It’s a nice spot to see the sunset and a panoramic view of the fjords.

A more challenging and beautiful hike is up to Ulriken 643. Some years ago the trail was upgraded with rock stairs and it’s a great steep hike. The hike will take approx 60-90min
There is an amazing restaurant on top where you also can book a table for dinner and watch the sunset. There is a gondola that can take you up and down.
