Frierfjord, Coastal fjord in Telemark, Norway

The Frierfjord extends for 14 kilometers along the Skagerrak coast, reaching depths of 93 meters and widths up to 3 kilometers.

The water passage was known as part of Langesundsfjord until the 1700s, when it received its current designation derived from Old Norse meaning beautiful.

Local communities maintain strong maritime traditions through fishing activities and celebrations that connect residents to their Nordic seafaring heritage.

Two major bridges cross the fjord: the Brevik Bridge at the narrow Breviksstrømmen passage and the Grenland Bridge carrying European route E18.

The fjord narrows to 300 meters at Breviksstrømmen, where the towns of Brevik and Stathelle face each other across the waters.
