Fagernes

Fagernes, situated amid hills covered with spruce forests at the mouth of the Neselv, which here forms beautiful waterfalls as it flows into the Strandefjord, is a popular holiday resort, much frequented by anglers. The Valdres Folk Museum, one of the largest open-air museums in Norway, has numerous old buildings, as well as collections of domestic equipment, textiles, musical instruments and hunting weapons.

At Fagernes the road divides. E 16 bears west, while Road 51 continues northwest towards the Jotunheim.
