Tafjorden

The Tafjord extends 24 kilometers eastward from Storfjorden, featuring steep cliffs and clear waters reaching depths of several hundred meters.

In 1934, a landslide into Tafjord created a local tsunami that reached heights of 40 meters, resulting in 47 casualties along the shoreline.

Multiple mountain farms established along the fjord's edges demonstrate the Norwegian determination to cultivate land in challenging geographic conditions.

Norwegian County Roads 63 and 650 provide access to the fjord, with regular ferry services connecting the settlements of Eidsdal and Linge.

Three major rivers - Valldøla, Eidsdalselva, and Storelva - flow into the fjord, contributing fresh water to this marine ecosystem.
