Bordalsgjelet

Deep down between the stone polished phyllite bedrock in Bordalsgjelet canyon, there is a cascading river. In close cooperation with hard polishing stones, the water has carved into the bedrock for thousands of years - and is still doing so today.

Fossen Bratte

The steep drop by Fossen cliff has been the biggest challenge for those who wished to make a road over Kvamskogen through the years. Leave the car by the monument on the old road and take a walk down to the bend by the waterfall that Bergen-folk call "The bridal veil". Why is there a waterfall just here?

Jordalen

During the last ice ages, parts of the Voss river system were stolen and sent down Nærøydalen valley to Nærøy Fjord (Nærøyfjorden). Before this big river theft all of the rivers ran all the way from their sources in the mountains near the innermost part of the Sognefjord further southwards towards Voss. Evidence of the theft is still clearly visible in the terrain.

Lysøen

Lysøen, this fairytale castle with its Russian-inspired onion dome on the corner turret, stands as a reminder of the diversity of the period called Historicism and a monument to a versatile artist; a key figure in the Norwegian National Romanticism.
