Itinerary

Stop At: Bergenhus Fortress This is a short round-trip by car to the amazing Osterfjord area. Our professional driver-guide picks you up at your hotel in Bergen centre (or cruise ship port) and our tour starts. Departure is usually at 9:30am unless otherwise agreed. Leaving Bergen we drive past some of the sights. The Medieval fortress of Bergenhus is one of them. Duration: 1 minute Admission Ticket Free

Stop At: Osteroy Bridge From Bergen, we will travel to the Osterfjord – a fjord that surrounds one on the largest continental islands in Europe – Osterøy island, 127 square miles (330 km2). Our first stop is at the viewpoint right after crossing the bridge over the fjord. Duration: 10 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Stop At: Dale of Norway Factory Outlet & Museum Returning to mainland, we move on to Dale, where the famous sweater factory is located – “Dale of Norway”. We can visit the factory outlet and maybe pick up some woollen souvenirs there. Duration: 20 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Stop At: Skipshelleren From Dale we take one of lesser-known roads going north: steep mountains, narrow fjords and secluded villages along the way. Our next stop is at the Stone Age settlement on the Bolstadfjord: a short walk on a moderately steep trail is required. Duration: 30 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Stop At: Hesjedalsfossen Moving on we come to yet another narrow fjord – the Eidsfjord – and make a stop at the magical Hesjedalsfossen waterfall: one of the most iconic sights, and yet an offbeat attraction. Duration: 10 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Stop At: Mo We continue our journey and reach Mo (pronounced “Moo”) – a cosy village between two waterfalls: Geitaskaret and Kvernhusfossen. Here we can have lunch at a small restaurant/café overlooking the Mofjord and Geitaskaret waterfall. Duration: 40 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Stop At: Kvernhusfossen Leaving Mo, we make a short stop at the Kvernhusfossen waterfall before returning to Bergen – an almost non-stop 1.5-hour drive. In the winter, some of the waterfalls and fjords may be frozen. Duration: 15 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Stop At: Mostraumen Our next and last stop on this tour is at the Mostraumen strait - the 600 meters long, very narrow channel connecting two fjords. During the tide there is a strong current here and, of course, an amazing view (regardless of the tide). Duration: 15 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Stop At: Osterfjorden On our way back to Bergen we'll continue our ride along the Osterfjord - now to the west of Osterøy island. (Usually we do not stop here.) Duration: 1 minute Admission Ticket Free

Stop At: Nordhordlandsbrua Before returning to Bergen we will cross the fjord on the second longest bridge in Norway - the Nordhordlandsbrua - part floating part suspension bridge. (Usually we do not stop here) Duration: 1 minute Admission Ticket Free
