Introducing Odda

Frequently cited as Norway’s ugliest town (it does battle with some pretty dire places in Finnmark), Odda is the Hardanger region’s industrial, iron-smelting capital. What it does offer is a front-row view of one of Norway’s finest landscapes: the innermost reaches of Hardangerfjord with a riotous waterfall and the icy heights of the fabulous Folgefonn glacier. Just try not to breathe in while you’re admiring the view.
