Haugabreen © Breogfjell
Glaciers consist of massive
blocks of ice in constant
movement. It is therefore
extremely important to show
proper respect for this force
of nature! If you do not have
the necessary skills and
equipment, there are many
experienced glacier guides
ready to take you on a safe
walk on the ice. For more
information, see nordfjord.no
GLACIER WALKS
Jostedalsbreen (The Jostedal
Glacier) is the biggest glacier
in mainland Europe, covering
487 square kilometres. In
the Jostedalsbreen National
Park you can experience this
powerful force of nature up
close, and a guided glacier
walk is a magical adventure
you simply must try. Skilled
glacier guides can take you
on an adventurous hike to
Haugabreen or Tystigbreen
glacier. If you prefer not to
walk on the glacier itself, you
can visit several other valleys
where you can observe the
glaciers from a safe distance.
Briksdalsbreen and Kjenndalsbreen

famous and easiest to visit,

Close to water
If you have planned a week’s holiday in Nordfjord,
you may want to extend your stay when you discover
the range of activities in our lakes, rivers and fjords!
Imagine gliding across a quiet, clear lake in a kayak,
throwing your fishing line into the sea, or getting
your adrenaline pumping with RIB-rafting or surfing
in a wild natural setting.
SURFING
The word “surfing” may make you think of palm
trees and tropical temperatures in southern climes
but surfing in the beautiful coastal landscape on
the Stad peninsula is every bit as exotic. At Stad
you will find perfect surfing conditions, with big
waves rolling onto white sandy beaches against a
stunning backdrop of steep mountainsides. These
fantastic beaches have long been hidden gems, but
more and more people are discovering the thrill of
surfing out here on the edge of the North Atlantic.
The kilometre-long sandy beach at Hoddevik is
one of Norway’s best and most beautiful surfing
spots. The towering mountains protect the beach
from the strongest winds, creating ideal conditions
for surfing. Thirty kilometres from Hoddevik is
Ervikstranda beach, where there almost always
are waves to be found.
Lapoint Surf Camp: Hoddevik, Stad. Surfing camps,
courses, equipment for hire.
Be aware of undercurrents on
these beaches, and also, of the
remains of shipwrecks in Ervik.

NORDFJORD SAGA
What is it about Nordfjord`s
1,200-year-old story that
has made the region what
it is today? Nordfjord Saga
is a historical experience
based on who we were
and who we are.

NORDFJORD SAGA
The saga of Nordfjord defines our people,
our culture and our traditions. The story begins
over twelve hundred years ago in the centre of
Nordfjord, where a mighty Viking ship, built to
defend the honour and riches of a king, looms
over the shore. The remains of that vessel, the
Myklebust Viking Ship, were discovered in 1874,
and proved to be one of the longest Viking
ships ever found.
But our story does not end there. It becomes
a medieval harmony of hymns and whispers
on the holy island of Selja, where English
Benedictine monks found religious peace in
a spectacular natural setting. The ruins of Selja
monastery can still be seen today. Along with
the ruins, the story of the Irish princess Saint
Sunniva who suffered a martyr’s death on
the island lives on in Nordfjord.
Agriculture and fishing have been the most
important means of making a living since the
very first people settled in Nordfjord. Our
present way of life and our heritage are built
upon the skills, tales and traditions of our
predecessors. At Nordfjord Folk Museum you
will catch a glimpse of the everyday life of the
farmers, fishermen and craftspeople in the
region from the 17th century until today,
whose hard work built our towns, villages
and farmsteads. And the story continues
today, tomorrow and onwards into the next
millennium, as we add chapter after chapter
to our saga. Nordfjord Saga. The history that
shaped us.

Sagastad
The voyages of the Vikings
made a lasting impact on
Europe. Artifacts found in
Nordfjord prove that the
region was part of this process.
Ancient burial sites can be
seen in several places, and
at Myklebust in Nordfjordeid,
traces of a burnt Viking ship
were discovered in 1874. The
remains of the Myklebust ship
had a length of 30 metres,
making it one of the largest
Viking ships ever found.
At the Sagastad Interpretive
Center, you can learn about
this part of our heritage. You
can learn about the Myklebust
ship, the Vikings’ long voyages
in similar ships, and about
their world and ancient rituals.

NORDFJORD SAGA
Selja Monastery
Selja rises like a green
cathedral from the foaming
sea at Stad. The Irish princess
Sunniva, seeking refuge from
Vikings, suffered a martyr’s
death in a cave on this island.
Legend has it that King Olav
Tryggvason and his bishop
uncovered Sunniva’s resting
place in CE 996. Found
beneath fallen boulders, her
remains were miraculously
untouched and unharmed.
Ages, pilgrims from all over
Europe made long journeys
to this island at the end of
the world.
Saint Sunniva became the
patron saint of Bergen and
western Norway, and a guardian
of seafarers along our
coast. In the 12th century,
Benedictine monks built a
monastery on the island,
which lasted for 400 years.
Sunniva was declared a
saint, the first in Norway and
the only female saint in our
country’s history. King Olav
raised a church near the cave
in her honour and placed her
remains in a reliquary by the
high altar. Selja became
Norway’s first pilgrimage site
and throughout the Middle
The story of the brave and
pious princess and her
dramatic escape still draws
people to Selja, to visit the
cave in which she was found,
and which bears her name.
The peaceful island is the
perfect setting for a walk
among the ruins, listening
to the tale of Saint Sunniva.

Deep in Vingenpollen, a
narrow fjord surrounded by
steep mountains, is Vingen,
one of Northern Europe´s
largest and most distinctive
rock-carving sites. More than
2200 carvings have been
discovered here, probably
created by neolithic huntsmen
(approximately 6000 years
ago). The deer is the most
popular motive, but there
are also human figures and
abstract symbols.
During the summer season it
is possible to go on a guided

take you for a walk in Vingen
while telling thrilling stories
from when the carvings were
made. Vingen is a protected

The fjord horse
Fjord horse © Maja Skarpsno
DID YOU KNOW? The Fjord horse is one of
the oldest breeds in the world, with origins in
the Viking Age. It is easily recognized and has
many primitive features otherwise found only
in the wild Przewalski horse. The Fjord horse
breed was developed in western Norway and
for many years was known as “the Westlands
horse.” The landscape of western Norway is
characterized by long fjords, steep mountains
and rough terrain, and until quite recently,
surefooted horses were an absolute necessity
of life.

Waterfalls
Nordfjord’s lakes, rivers and
mountains makes it a region
of beautiful waterfalls, and
many of them can be viewed
without hiking for hours. Keep
in mind, however, that waterfalls
are immensely powerful
and if you get too close, they
can be very dangerous. The
spray makes the ground wet
and slippery, and the river
currents below you can be
very strong. Respect all guidelines,
signposts and barriers,
and stay safely on the
posted trails.

Randabygda, Stryn. Walk

through the cascading waters.
Very nice view over Nordfjord.

NORDFJORD TASTE
Nordfjord has a long and proud
tradition of food based on an exciting
range of locally produced ingredients.
If you enjoy naturally grown local foods
and beverages, you can experience a
“Taste of Nordfjord” through every one
of your senses.
Aabrekk Gard © Ronny Solheim

nordfjord.no

NORDFJORD TASTE
Spending spring and summer outdoors,
farm animals in Nordfjord graze on lush fields
and hillsides, surrounded by roaring waterfalls,
bright-blue glaciers and steep mountains that
create a perfect rural idyll. The fertile soil,
combined with a mild climate and long summer
days helps fruit and berry trees to thrive, and
you will see fruit farms everywhere along the
fjord and in the valleys of Nordfjord.
Traditionally, agriculture and fishing have
provided the region’s most important sources
of food. Today, chefs building on these local
traditions, combine ingredients from fjord,
forest and field. The sweetness and delicate
touch of acidity in seasonal berries and fruits
compliment the rich flavours of venison, lake
trout, veal and salt-water fish.
FISH
Fish is a crucial resource for our coastal
municipalities, where a modern fishing fleet
and a well-developed aquaculture industry
team with world-class processing and export
activities. Brødrene Larsen (The Larsen
brothers) in Bremanger, founded in 1963,
is one of several suppliers of quality fish,
both over the counter and to other
companies in western Norway.

POPULAR DRIVING ROUTES
THE OLD STRYNEFJELL
MOUNTAIN ROAD
National tourist road,
built in 1894, that winds over
and through the mountains
between Stryn and Skjåk.
For many years, the gravel
road was the only connection
between east and west, and
the Norwegian Public Roads
Administration has rebuilt the
old guard stones so that the
tourists will feel as though
they are travelling in the past.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Trondheim Postal Road
is a part of our cultural
heritage. The 700 km long
network, constructed
between 1780 and 1804,
was the first road connection
between rural villages and
the cities of Bergen and
Trondheim. You can walk
parts of the old road, using
the many beautiful trails in
our forests and valleys.
If you drive, there are many
small back roads worth a
little detour to see one of
our hidden scenic pearls.
Do not miss the amazing
stone bridge, Jøl bridge, on
your way up the mountain.
You will also find a summer
skiing centre, picnic areas and
information boards along the
route. www.turistveg.no
NB! For safety’s sake, vehicles
over 8 meters and/or with
axle pressures above 8 tons
are prohibited.
THE PANORAMA ROAD
This 38 km route follows the
northern side of Nordfjord
between Stryn and Nordfjordeid,
passing through the
communities of Blakset,
Fjelli, Randabygd/Hopland,
Hennebygda and Lote. Start
6 km from the centre of Stryn.
The Panorama road has taken
its name from the fantastic
views it affords of the fjord.
The road’s altitude above sea
level varies from 0 to 550 m.
Particularly good viewpoints
are at Nordsida church, Nos
and Kvalen. On the route you
can also take in the cultural
trails at Ulvedal and Hammer,
the Tvinnefoss waterfall, and
other historical attractions.
