Frafjorden, Fjord in Gjesdal, Norway.

Frafjorden extends six kilometers inland from Dirdal, featuring steep mountain sides that rise nearly 700 meters above the water level.

The fjord marks the innermost branch of Høgsfjorden, with the village of Frafjord developing at its terminus as a small farming settlement.

Local residents maintain traditional farming practices in Frafjorddalen valley, which stretches five kilometers east of the fjord with 100 inhabitants.

Visitors reach the fjord through rural roads in Rogaland county, with Dirdal village serving as the main entry point.

The north side of the fjord contains three notable peaks: Stordalsknuten at 692 meters, Sveknuten at 764 meters, and Dypingsknuten at 791 meters.
