How to get here

This innermost half of the Sognefjord lies in the centre of Southern Norway on the border between the Eastern and Western parts of the country.

In previous times, travelling on the fjord itself was virtually the only way of getting to the area, but modern roads have gradually made it easy to get here from all parts of the country. Nowadays, if you choose one of the shortest routes to the fjord, it is only a 2 to 3-hour drive from Bergen, 4 to 5 hours from Oslo and 5 to 6 hours from Trondheim.
