Hardanger stretches across one of Europe's largest mountain plateaus to several fjords. The breathtakingly steep waterfall Vøringsfossen marks the transition to valley terrain.
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 west of Nordheimsund, has been designated as a national tourist route.
