Introducing Eidfjord
In the innermost reaches of Hardangerfjorden, Eidfjord wins our prize as the most beautiful town among many in this part of Norway. Dwarfed by sheer mountains and cascading waterfalls, accessible by spiral tunnels and close to charming farms perched on mountain ledges with great views, Eidfjord is simply magnificent. Eidfjord’s beauty does, however, come at a price: in summer, cruise ships arrive on an almost daily basis and the town can get overwhelmed.
Over the next few years, Eidfjord will become even more accessible with a planned 1380m suspension bridge to replace the ferry between Bruravik and Brimnes along the Rv7/13. The project probably won’t be finished anytime soon, but check out the website for Vegdirektoratet (www.vegvesen.no); follow the links to ‘Roads’ and then ‘Road Projects’.
