Hyen

Tucked along the inner shore of Hyefjorden, a branch of Nordfjord in Vestland, Hyen is a place whose character is shaped by the steep, water-cut terrain of western Norway. The settlement belongs to Gloppen municipality and lies where the fjord narrows towards the Hyen valley, with farms and homes occupying the limited gentler ground between the water and hillsides. Hyen Church, a wooden church built in 1876, is a prominent local landmark and a reminder of the community’s long-established parish life. The fjord links Hyen to the Nordfjord coast, while the valley leads inland through mountain country. Browse other webcams across Vestland and Nordfjord to place Hyen in a wider geographic context.
