We are now passing the Simadalsfjord which takes you into the Sima Valley and the Sima hydroelectric power station at the foot of Norway's sixth largest glacier, the Hardangerjøkulen. The power plant supplies electricity to over 150,000 households. At the innermost part of the fjord and about 600 meters up the steep mountain side, lies the famous mountain farm Kjeåsen, almost like a hovering eagle's nest. "Kje", meaning small goat kids, has given its name to the place, probably due to the difficult terrain that was most suitable for goats.
