• Urnes Stave Church
• The Nærøyfjord
• Bryggen - the Hanseatic Wharf in Bergen

Hardanger National Tourist Route

Rv. 7 between Halne and Tokagjelet is designated as the Hardanger National Tourist Route. This scenic road goes across Hardangervidda, one of Europe’s largest mountain plateaus, and continues along the stunning Hardangerfjord.

The dramatically steep waterfall Vøringsfossen marks the precipitous descent from the mountains to the valleys and fjords.

The Aurland Road

The mountain road between Aurland and Lærdal (rv. 243) takes you from sea level to an altitude of 1,333 metres. As there is often snow on either side of the road, even in the middle of summer, it is known as the "Snow Road". The architecturally interesting viewpoint at Stegastein provides panoramic views of the Aurlandsfjord.

The Fanitull Road

The Fanitull Road (33 kilometres) crosses the mountains between Hemsedal and Leveld in Ål. The road makes its way through the beautiful countryside between the peaks of Lauvdalsbrea and Reineskarvet, with plenty of great places to stop for a break. Or perhaps you prefer to climb a mountain, such as Lauvdalsbrea?
