Cider and Zinc
0
«Here you can find fjords, mountains, glaciers, fruit, agriculture, fishing and world leaders in industry all in one municipality». This is the slogan of Ullensvang municipality, of which Odda is the centre of administration. Hardanger is full of contrasts, but beautiful and charming contrasts! We are now passing the Boliden Odda smelting plant which is a world leader in the handling of raw materials and recycling of metals. Copper, zinc and nickel are all necessary building blocks for society, but both the production and the product stand in stark contrast to the beautiful nature, the fragrant fruit trees and the fresh world famous Hardanger cider. Nevertheless, cider and zinc have been produced side by side for hundreds of years. They complement each other and have created the beautiful community that you experience on your journey today.
