Førde

The landscape around Forde is a steep-sided valley at the inner reaches of Førdefjorden, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The Jølstra river runs through the town before meeting the fjord, while settlement extends along the valley floor and lower slopes. As the administrative centre of Sunnfjord municipality, Førde serves as a retail and service hub for inland communities in western Norway. The annual Førdefestivalen brings folk musicians from Norway and abroad, while Sunnfjord Museum preserves regional buildings and everyday heritage.
