🇳🇴 EIDFJORD, NORWAY | Cruise Port of call on a Norwegian Fjord cruise

What to do with 1 day in the cruise port of Eidfjord!
Take a shore excursion or explore on our own?
Eidfjord is situated at the end of the EID Fjord, an inner branch of the large Hardangerfjorden.
Eidfjord is easy to explore on your own and we did so.
However, we did take a local tour to the Vøringsfossen waterfall - the most famous waterfall in Norway!
Watch large amounts of water plunge 182 m from the Hardangervidda plateau into the Måbødalen valley.
Viewing platforms near the Fossli Hotel allow you to take in this spectacular site!
We enjoyed a scenic walking trail from the village. (note: there is a trolltrain you can take 😉)
You walk along the river Rio which leads to Eidfjordvatnet, a small lake with a beach.
🤩 walk along a plateau with small farmsteads scattered about
🤩 then a beautiful viewpoint where we could see the town, the fjords and our ship!
After an uphill climb, you reach The Heareid Viking Graves.
The Heareid Viking Graves - the largest collection of ancient burial sites in western Norway, with 350 graves dating from 400 - 1.000 AD.
Nestled in the heart of the Hardangerfjord countryside, dwarfed by the surrounding mountains, the old Eidfjord church, a stonebuilt church from about A.D.1309.
Eidfjord ranks up there as one of my all-time favourite destinations!
