The area offers a variety of walking opportunities and all along the National Tourist Route there are places to stop for a while for a snack or a swim, try your luck fishing or just enjoy the views and the quiet.
It is possible to visit the Vøringsfossen Waterfall, go summer skiing on the Folgefonna Glacier and take a swim in the fjord – all on the same day.
The fjords lie side by side, and on the plateau you might sneak a peak at the wild reindeer herds that live here.
There are also several museums, and the Hardangervidda National Park provides an extensive network of marked trails and tourist huts.
The classified road rv. 7 between Halne on the Hardangervidda plateau, and Steindalsfossen Waterfall west of Nordheimsund, has been designated as a national tourist route.
