The area offers many opportunities for hiking, outdoor adventures & culture experiences. Hardanger is the cradle of national romanticism, & artists of all ages have sought inspiration from its majestic scenery. Hardanger has been a fruit-growing region since the 14th century. The soil along the Hardangerfjord imparts a characteristically fresh & tangy flavour to the fruit, & in the growing season fruit is on sale from small stalls along the road.
