of Eidfjord, enjoy some lunch and visit the
excellent Gallery N. Bergslien.
If you choose the sightseeing tour you will explore
Vøringfossen, the biggest waterfall in Norway, and a
visit to
the experience centre, the Hardangervidda Nature
Centre.
The Hardanger Fjord
A fjord cruise on the Hardangerfjord is next, with
views of towering mountains, waterfalls and idyllic
