EXPERIENCE THE FJORD COAST

The coast of Sogn og Fjordane is the place to go for great adventures. The combination of coast, mountain and fjord offers unique nature experiences, whatever the season. Travel from narrow fjords, glaciers and high mountains to small islands far out where the fjord meets the open sea. Get close to nature in ever-changing weather: from brilliant sunshine, days on the beach and mirror-calm seas, to an overnight stay in a lighthouse with storm waves battering the walls. This travel guide contains information and inspiration for planning your stay in the region.

ISLAND HOPPING Board the local postal boat on Island hopping in Solund, Bulandet and Værlandet. Lonely Planet has named the round trip among thousands of islands, islets and skerries one of the best in Norway! Travel the postal boat route among the multitude of Solund’s islands and narrow sounds. Visit idyllic Gåsvær and take a stroll in Bulandet, where you can visit local museums, viewpoints and outdoor artworks. Experience “Nordsjøporten”, a road with six spectacular sea bridges between Bulandet and Værlandet. Solund’s local postal boat connects the island kingdoms of Solund and Askvoll during the summer. The postal boat travels between Hardbakke in Solund and Bulandet in Askvoll. A crew member will guide you during the trip, pointing out many hidden treasures. When you reach Bulandet, you’ll have time to look around on your own. If you’d like more time to enjoy the scenery and explore the islands, we recommend spreading the island-hopping trip over several days. There are several places to stay in Solund, Værlandet and Bulandet; you can find an overview at en.fjordkysten.no/accomodation Island-hopping trips for groups are available all year round on request. “Island hopping lite” from Hardbakke to Gåsvær and back to Hardbakke is also available all year. Contact mail@fjordkysten.no or ring +47 57 74 30 00 for more information and bookings.

ISLAND HOPPING SUGGESTED ITINERARY FOR BULANDET The postal boat from Solund docks at Nikøy quay in Bulandet, where you’ll have time to look around independently. We recommend starting with lunch at the cafe before hiring a bike or exploring the islands on foot. Follow the village road up from the shop and to the right. After approx. 500 m, you cross a small bridge. Continue following the road until you come to a well-signed crossroads. If you take the road to the left, you’ll come to Bulandet “Ungdomshus”, where you’ll find ‘Bulandet Temapark’, a local museum that provides a good introduction to life in the island community. For great views over all of Bulandet, continue past ‘Bulandet Temapark’ and follow the path up to the Halsøyhågen viewpoint. As well as stunning views, there are picnic tables, benches and a map of the islands. At Hillersøyhaugen, you’ll find busts of Berte Hillersøy and Hansine Tistel, who, together with schoolmaster Ole Rogne, rescued seven of the crew of the Tønsberg schooner Gugner in February 1885. It went down by Sengskjeret, south of Bulandet, after battling in a storm for several days. In recognition of their exploits, Berte (25) and Hansine (21) were each awarded the Norwegian Lifesaving Medal, Second Class, for Heroic Deeds. The busts were made by ceramic artist Ingun Dahlin and stand on plinths of ‘Black Beauty’ stone from Værlandet. SUGGESTED ITINERARY FOR VÆRLANDET Værlandet Handel at the ferry quay in Værlandet offers bike hire and serves as a Visitor Point with suggested hikes and maps. From the ferry quay, it’s approximately 1.8 km to idyllic Værøyhamna and its beautiful wharfside boathouses. Værlandet Havhotell is also nearby. The North Sea Trail on Værlandet is an excellent hike on a clearly waymarked trail, and takes approx. 1 hour 30 mins. The Klettane hills are Værlandet’s most characteristic feature. A chain has been installed along the path leading to the top of Høgkletten to ensure a safe walk up to this special viewpoint at 163 m. The path turns off the North Sea Trail and is clearly signed. 6

Join the stone adventure! Millstone Park in Hyllestad is an outdoor museum in the largest stone quarry landscape from the Viking period and Middle Ages in Northern Europe. We take you back to a time when there was a high level of activity in Hyllestad! In hundreds of quarries, stonecutters extracted millstone after millstone. Everyone needed millstones. Without millstones, there was no flour – and no food! Hundreds of thousands of millstones left Hyllestad and were sold across Norway, Denmark and Sweden. This was big industry, involving skilled craftsmen, expert traders and a lot of money! At Millstone Park we take you on a tour through the stone quarries. After the tour, you can try stone carving, mill grain, bake bread, make soapstone jewellery – or relax by the fire and enjoy something to eat and drink.

OPENING TIMES 20 June – 23 August, Tuesday – Sunday 10.00 – 17.00. You can visit the park independently outside these opening times. PRICE: Adults NOK 60 / children (7–17 years) NOK 30 / Children (under 7) FREE REFRESHMENTS: We serve millstone bread, pancakes and coffee. SPECIAL OFFER FOR GROUPS: Guided tours in Norwegian, English and German (1 hr, NOK 1,000, max. 25 persons) CONTACT: Tel. +47 458 71 940 · post@kvernstein.no · kvernsteinsparken.no

KVERNSTEINSPARKEN, MILLSTONE PARK

The Coastal Museum in Sogn og Fjordane is centrally located in Florø, within walking distance of the town centre, and showcases the natural and cultural history of the coast of Sogn og Fjordane. The exhibition halls provide a glimpse of daily life on the coast, the development of the town of Florø, tools used for fishing and hunting, and a large collection of local boats. The building named “Snorre-Ankeret” houses an exhibition on the history of Norwegian petroleum activities and Norway’s role as a global energy exporter. The museum site lies in a varied coastal landscape. A network of footpaths and bridges makes the area into an open air museum that offers activities for all ages. Here you can visit an old salting shack that still smells of the herring hung here to dry, and view “The Big Herring Adventure” exhibition. Sheep and goats graze here in the summer. Vågsberget in Vågsøy municipality was one of many trading posts and inns along the coast and has roots dating back to the 17th century. The trading privilege was the economic cornerstone here, and the inn provided people travelling along the coast with a safe harbour and a place to stay overnight on their journey. Today, Vågsberget is one of the most complete and well looked-after sites of its kind in Norway. During summer, you can join a guided tour of the historic buildings, and pay a visit to the exhibition and café.

STORM WATCHING Winters along the Fjord Coast are often mild, green and stormy, with fantastic winter light. November to February is high season for storms!

STORM-WATCHING TOURS

There is occasional cold weather with snow, but this is unusual here. In contrast, windy days are in good supply! The region is the stormiest in southern Norway, and boasts spectacular nature experiences.

Two- or three-day tours with good food, guided storm-watching experiences, transport and accommodation.

Some days are clear and sunny, but stormy weather is usually just around the corner. Seeing the waves crash against the shore from a viewpoint where the fjord meets the open sea is a fascinating sight. Due to the mild climate you can go walking year round. If you need to escape the wet and windy weather, there are local galleries and museums to visit. A comfortable stay is an important part of the experience. Light the fire, snuggle under a blanket and enjoy a hot drink with your nearest and dearest. Fish and shellfish are at their best in winter, and our restaurants offer top-class food experiences. You’ll find a high standard of hospitality everywhere you go – the abrasive coastal climate stands in strong contrast to the friendly people waiting to welcome you.

MOUNTAIN HIKES AND COASTAL WALKS The Fjord Coast offers a wealth of hiking opportunities, from a series of spectacular summit hikes to walks in easy terrain.

Coastal walking is something really special. Bracing sea air, waves crashing against the shore and mountains looming on the horizon are food for the soul. Along the Fjord Coast, you’ll find steep mountains rising straight from the sea. All around are countless islands with gently rolling terrain that’s perfect for walking. On the mainland are mountain-tops offering panoramic views of fjords and glaciers, and the ocean to the west. If you prefer something less challenging, the North Sea Trails might be just what you’re looking for. This is a series of waymarked foot-paths through easy terrain boasting a rich history and beautiful coastal scenery. There are a total of 17 North Sea Trails along the Fjord Coast, all clearly waymarked and provided with maps. Sunnivaleia is a pilgrim’s path by sea and land, extending all the way from Bergen to Kinn and Selja. You can walk the path independently or join an organised group walk; see sunnivaleia.no

A rich variety of species, exciting diving terrain and a large number of wrecks to dive on draw divers to the region from all over the world. Gulen Dive Resort is one of Norway’s best diving centres, providing professional diving experiences. gulendykkesenter.no

FISHING Surrounded by open sea and fjords, conditions are perfect for sea fishing all year round. Fishing in winter is a very special experience, and there is a good chance of landing some really big fish. Did you know that shellfish are at their best in the winter? Fishing has always been important for coastal communities. There are still traditional fishing villages and islands here where fishing remains the primary source of income for local people. You’ll find cottages, fisherman’s shacks and boathouses, providing the perfect setting for fishing holidays. These are close to the sea, with access to good boats and facilities for preparing and storing the catch. You can also join a local fisherman for a guided fishing trip and get tips on the best places to fish. You’ll find a list of businesses offering guided fishing trips and boat hire in the back of this guide.

SAFETY AT SEA The weather along the coast can change rapidly. Always check the weather forecast, and remember to take warm clothing and the required safety gear.

For groups (min. 8 persons by prior arrangement), we recommend a guided tour with our knowledgeable Viking guides, and perhaps we can tempt you to some Viking tapas for lunch?

MÅLØYRAIDSENTERET Early morning, 27 December 1941: the Christmas peace is shattered by a loud bang. In ten minutes, more than 560 British bombs fall on Måløy. For the next six hours, it’s total war: aerial bombs, street fighting and artillery fire from warships. Through the deafening racket: the high-pitched sound of bagpipes. Original pictures from the raid and metres of original film are displayed in a vivid exhibition, which has touched thousands of visitors. The displays also showcase original uniforms, Mad Jack’s bagpipes and Martin Linge’s pistol, accompanied by the smells of Christmas baking and explosions. As well as the exhibition on the Måløy raid, there are displays on Martin Linge, the Linge Company and the daring Shetland Bus missions. You can also find out more about what it was like to be a German soldier stationed at Måløy during the war. The centre is located at the heart of the town, with parking in the square and several good cafés nearby. Open daily June to August. Variable opening hours at other times. See our website and Facebook page for more information. Open for group bookings outside normal opening hours. www.maloyraidsenteret.no

Getting here

HURTIGRUTEN

Getting to the region is easy: by express boat from Bergen, by express bus from one of Norway’s major cities, on the Hurtigruten coastal ship, by air to Førde or Florø, or in your own car.

EXPRESS BOAT

Hurtigruten, which plies the Norwegian coast, is considered one of the world’s most beautiful sea voyages. The ships make daily stops in Florø and Måløy on their north- and southbound journeys. For more information, see hurtigruten.no

BUS

A journey along the coast by express boat is a comfortable way to experience the beautiful coast and fjord landscape. Express boats travel to and from Bergen twice daily from Monday to Friday, with one boat a day at the weekend.

Local and regional buses offer an easy and good-value way to get here. Norway Bussekspress (nor-way.no) operates routes to the region from Bergen and Trondheim. You can easily travel from Oslo to the Fjord Coast with Nettbuss (nettbuss.no). For local bus routes, see kringom.no

• Bergen • Lygra • Vardetangen • Mjømna • Sollibotn • Skjerjehamn • Rysjedalsvika (Hyllestad) • Krakhella (Solund) • Askvoll • Florø • Smørhamn • Leirgulen • Måløy • Selje

Getting here by car is easy. From Bergen, it takes approx. 2 hours to Gulen in the south and approx. 6 hours to Måløy in the north of the region. From eastern Norway, you can drive ferry-free all the way to Florø.

CYCLING HOLIDAYS The Fjord Coast is perfect for cycling enthusiasts of all ages, whether in spring, summer or autumn. The area boasts quiet roads, gently rolling terrain and a multitude of islands linked by local boat and ferry routes. Bring your bicycle when you go island hopping. Enjoy cycling along idyllic roads with little traffic. It’s easy to combine a cycling holiday with other activities such as fishing, hiking, kayaking and rafting.

TIPS FOR TOURS ON TWO WHEELS: • Solund: The gently rolling terrain makes Solund perfect for cycling. Combine a cycle tour with island hopping on the local postal boat. • Værlandet og Bulandet: The 5.24 km Nordsjøporten road between Værlandet and Bulandet takes you across six bridges right out where the fjord meets the open sea – perfect for cycling! • Askvoll: Cycle over the new Dalsfjord Bridge and along the fjord to Holmedal. Take a break at the Helle Fabrikker outlet shop before continuing on the old road along the fjord to Askvoll. • Hyllestad: Take a cycle tour along the Trondheim Post Road, with its beautiful stone bridges, and pay a visit to the Millstone Park. • Kinn: Explore Florø’s small-town idyll on two wheels or take a bike trip on one of the beautiful islands in the archipelago surrounding the town. • Along the coast: If you have plenty of time, you can cycle from Gulen in the south to Bremanger in the north. Combine cycling along the Fjord Coast with Norled FJORDCard, which gives you five days’ unlimited travel on the express boats. Hop on and off the boats, and cycle the sections of your choice. norled.no • Widerøe offers ‘Fly & Bike’ from Florø wideroe.no/en/tickets/fly-and-bike Go to fjordkysten.no for route descriptions for selected cycle routes.
