Nordhordland – the tourist destination between Bergen and the Sognefjord!

Author Gunnar Staalesen on Nordhordland:
”From the outermost reefs, where the ocean’s swell laps at the rocky shore like Nature’s beating heart, across heathlands and sounds, fields and outlying land, knolls and hills, until the point where the landscape rises steeply up towards the mountains, with mountain farm after mountain farm extending all the way to the horizon - Nordhordland is like a miniature version of Norway.

If this entire region from the island of Fedje to the mountains of Stølsheimen were to break off from the mainland and be set adrift, it would still contain most of the geographic features that Norway has to offer – with one exception: there are no glaciers in Nordhordland. The ice has disappeared for ever.”

Whether you are on a day trip or a tour lasting several days – on the main E 39 road, the trunk road, country roads, the Cultural Road, or the sea route – you will journey through our six proud municipalities:

Meland The gateway to Nordhordland	Lindås Heathlands and outdoor pursuits
Radøy The green island	Austrheim Coastal community and island kingdom
Fedje A paradise for sea anglers	Masfjorden From the fjord to the mountains

We are only 25 minutes from Bergen across the Nordhordland Bridge – the world’s longest pontoon bridge without lateral anchorage.

You’re welcome to come and enjoy what Norhordland has to offer on land and sea
- you will find it an enriching experience!
