Eidfjord Municipality, Municipality and village at Hardangerfjord, Norway

Eidfjord extends across 1,498 square kilometers of terrain, featuring fjords, mountains, and valleys between the Eid Fjord and Lake Eidfjordvatnet.

The municipality underwent several administrative changes before establishing its current form in 1977, evolving from the ancient parish of Graven established in 1838.

The municipal coat of arms displays a reindeer antler on a blue background, reflecting the traditional hunting practices and the water elements of the region.

Eidfjord maintains a strategic position as a cruise ship port, offering visitors access to Hardangervidda National Park and the 182-meter Vøringsfossen waterfall.

The Sima Power Plant operates within the mountain itself, demonstrating the integration of infrastructure with natural geological formations.
