Vangsnes

Tucked along the southern shore of Sognefjorden, Vangsnes is a place whose character is shaped by its position beside Norway’s longest fjord. The small settlement lies in Vik Municipality, where steep mountains rise directly from the water and ferries provide an essential connection across the fjord. Above the village stands the 22-metre statue of Fridtjof the Bold, unveiled in 1913 and presented by Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II; it depicts the hero of an Old Norse saga. Vangsnes is also a practical stop on the ferry routes linking communities around Sognefjorden. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Vestland connects regionally.
