The Hardangerfjord region is a magical. With its proximity to the mountains, the Sognefjord and numerous waterfalls it is an ideal base for eventful day trips into the splendid Norwegian nature.

Day 2: Stavanger / Hardangerfjord / Kinsarvik (350 KM)
In the morning hours the ferry arrives in the oil city of Stavanger. From here we will travel towards Kinsarvik and our hotel for the next 4 nights. On the way we will pass the Lysefjord and numerous waterfalls – e.g. the spectacular Låtefoss.
Day 3: Kinsarvik – excursion Hardangerfjord / Eidfjord
After a long journey the day before, we will be taking it a bit slower today. A short trip to Vøringsfossen – the most visited waterfall in Norway – starts the day. Afterwards we will move on to the Eidfjord for a guided tour at the Sima power plant, where you will learn about how water produces power in Norway. In the afternoon we will pay a visit at the Hardangervidda Nature Center – a lively attraction with a super cinema and aquarium.

In the morning we will cross the brand new Hardanger bridge (est. 2013), one of the largest suspension bridges in the world. We move along the second longest of the Norwegian fjords, past the Steindalsfossen – a waterfall visible from behind, and into Bergen. Here a city tour awaits, where you will get to know all the interesting parts of the city as well as its history. Afterwards there is time left to be spent in Bergen at your own pace. In the late afternoon we travel back across the Hardanger Bridge to Kinsarvik.
