    Hiking

    Norway has always been a popular travel destination for hiking enthusiasts. But the areas around the Sognefjord in particular are ideal for hiking. In Utladalen you can experience, among other things, Vettisfossen, Europe's highest unregulated waterfall with a free fall of an impressive 275 m. But there are also many other classic hikes around the Sognefjord with beautiful natural experiences - e.g. in Keipen, Molden and Aurlandsdalen.

    Explore the Sognefjord from the Water

    If you are holidaying in the Sognefjord, you should also take a trip on the fjord itself. There are several good options to choose from. For example, you can take a trip on a fast RIB boat. You can also do the trip in an electrically powered, quiet boat. Or rent kayaks and set your own pace. A trip like this on the Sognefjord is a great and unique experience that you won't find in many other places.

    Borgund Stave Church

    You shouldn't miss a visit to one of the beautiful, old stave churches. The stave churches are made of wood and the Borgund Stave Church is the best preserved in Norway. However, the Stave Church of Urnes is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and is therefore also worth a visit. Both churches were built in the 12th century.
