Hardangerfjord

The Hardangerfjord, extending for almost 120km/75mi from Herøysund to Odda on the Sørfjord, is one of the best-known Norwegian fjords, its mild climate being a particular attraction. Along its shores are large plantations of fruit trees (particularly cherries and apples), which are especially beautiful when the trees are in blossom in the second half of May. The people of the Hardangerfjord are known as Háringers.
