Puddefjorden, Fjord inlet in Bergen, Norway

The Puddefjord extends 3.5 kilometers from Nordnes peninsula to Solheimsviken bay, reaching a width of 1.2 kilometers between Nordnes and Laksevåg districts.

The name Puddefjorden first appeared in Bergen's Rimkrønike during 1560, derived from Old Norse words referring to boats and skerries in the waterway.

Industrial facilities and shipyards along both shores of Puddefjord shaped Bergen's maritime development throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Multiple bridges span the fjord, including the Puddefjord Bridge and Nygård Bridge, connecting different parts of Bergen for vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

The inner section of Puddefjord near Solheimsviken narrows to 100 meters, creating strong currents that influenced early navigation patterns in Bergen.
