Fjord crossroads

The branch of the fjord that goes eastwards from here, stretches all the way to Tafjord. Numerous beautiful villages line the fjord: Liabygda, Eidsdal, Norddal, Valldal, Fjørå and Tafjord. Valldal is the ‘strawberry village’ – responsible for growing half of Norway’s entire commercial strawberry crop. The favourable climate and the light summer months give the strawberries an extra special sweetness. The Tafjord mountains are popular with hillwalkers. Their geology is interesting too – and they supply the area with hydropower from dams and regulated mountain rivers.
