A low cloud presses against the fjord walls as the coach drops away from the harbor and the air sharpens with spray. Langfoss announces itself long before you turn a corner: a sustained roar, a thin white braid that races down the mountain and dares the fjord to catch it. Åkrafjorden narrows ahead, cliffs leaning like old maps, small farms clinging to terraces where people have worked the land for generations.
