Introducing Ulvik
There’s something special about Ulvik, in the heart of Norway’s apple-growing territory. Framed by hills and mountains and with wonderful views up the fjord, Ulvik is bathed in tranquil silence once the tourist boats disappear. There’s not a lot to see in Ulvik itself, but you’re in the heart of stunning fjord country with plenty of cycling and hiking opportunities in the surrounding hills and farmstead visits possible. The wonderful Stream Nest complex is 10km away in Osa and the whole area in May is delightful when the blossoms are out.
