Take a journey on this scenic route in the nature filled Norway. The city Bergen is on the southwestern coast and has mountains and fjords surrounding its sides. There are an abundance of hiking trails along this trail and in a few of the cities. Take in the beautiful colorful houses tucked closely to the waterline or enjoy the cascading Steinsdalsfossen waterfall. Since you are here and if you want to stretch your legs with a stroll, there's a nice easy trail along Movatnet lake. This will give you great views of the Folgefonna Glacier and it can take around one hour to walk it there and back. Or you can rent a bike in the vicinity of the waterfall. There's even a nice place for lunch or to just relax with some tea. You can hear the roar of the waterfall while sitting at this restaurant.

Fjords & Waterfalls
Once you're back on the road, it's time to set for Hardangerfjord. The mountains surround the water and leave everything looking picturesque. The water acts like a mirror as the billowing mountains are duplicated in the water below. This area offers several places to hike.
Next part of the route, you take a ferry at Tørvikbygd ferjekai. On the way across, you'll get to see the nature at a different angle being fully submerged by it. Start heading towards Espelandsfossen waterfalls and be blown away by the scenic beauty as you drive. Once you had a chance to admire this waterfall, begin heading to the next amazing waterfall, Låtefossen Waterfall. Drive to the Røldal stave church to take in the wooden historic building from 1250. Fill up on delicious food from Roldalsterrassen with a great view. Finally, start heading back to Bergen.
