Hjørundfjorden, Mountain-flanked fjord in Sunnmøre district, Norway
The Hjørundfjord extends for 35 kilometers through Ørsta and Sykkylven municipalities, reaching depths of 441 meters beneath sea level.
The region surrounding Hjørundfjord formed its own municipality from 1838 until 1964, when it merged with Vartdal and Ørsta into a larger administrative unit.
The name Hjørundfjord derives from Old Norse, with its first element possibly meaning sword, reflecting the Nordic linguistic heritage of the region.
The villages of Sæbø, Urke, Øye, and Bjørke at the innermost section of the fjord provide access points for exploration and outdoor activities.
The waters near Lygnstøylvatnet contain submerged mountain pastures, creating an underwater archaeological site accessible to divers.
