Fjærlandsfjorden

The Fjærlandsfjorden extends north from Sognefjorden for 25 kilometers, with mountains rising along both sides of its 1.5-kilometer-wide waterway.

The fjord remained the primary transportation route until 1995, when the Frudal Tunnel connected the isolated Fjærland area to Sogndal municipality.

The waterway connects multiple Norwegian municipalities, including Balestrand and Sogndal, supporting local maritime traditions and water-based transportation networks.

Visitors can access the fjord through boat services from Balestrand during summer months or via road tunnels that traverse the surrounding mountains.

The fjord's head contains a flat river valley, creating the only inhabitable area among the steep terrain that characterizes this water formation.
