Salhusfjorden, Fjord between Bergen Municipality and Alver Municipality, Norway.
Description
Salhusfjorden is a waterway that cuts through the landscape between Bergen and Alver municipalities, flanked by steep shores and deep water. The fjord displays typical features of Norwegian geography with rocky cliffs and vegetation sloping down to the water's edge.
History
Communities on either side once relied on ferry services to cross the waterway before a fixed connection was established. The shift from water transport to a bridge altered how people moved through the region.
Culture
The fjord marks the boundary between Midhordland and Nordhordland districts, reflecting the maritime heritage of these distinct Norwegian regions.
Practical
A bridge crosses the fjord carrying a major European route and connects the two sides. Visitors can experience the fjord landscape from a vehicle or by walking on the bridge structure.
Did you know?
The name comes from a village on its shores that once housed a Viking Age inn. The settlement later grew into an industrial community focused on textile production.
