Åkrafjorden, Coastal fjord in Vestland, Norway

Åkrafjorden extends 32 kilometers through steep mountain slopes, reaching depths of 650 meters while connecting to Skånevikfjorden near Utåker village.

The southern shores of Åkrafjorden developed earlier than the northern side due to road infrastructure, leaving traces of former farming settlements.

Local farmers maintain traditional orchards along the fjord shores, while small family businesses provide accommodations and regional products to visitors.

The E134 highway runs along the southern shore through multiple tunnels, connecting Haugesund to Oslo while providing access points to the fjord.

The Langfoss waterfall cascades directly into the fjord, allowing visitors to experience its 612-meter drop from both the road and hiking trails.
