The richest seabird localities in Bjørna Fjord are FLUØYANE, a group of small and medium-sized islets just east of the entrance to Våge.

On one of the islands, the environmental protection authority has promised to step in and help the birds.

Gøysundet is amongst the oldest hostelries in Sunnhordland.

This is a gas that seeps up from the earth and smells like rotten eggs.
