Åkra

Among the settlements of Vestland, Akra stands out for its position on Åkrafjorden, a narrow fjord enclosed by the mountain slopes of western Norway. The community lies in Etne municipality, within the Sunnhordland district, where local routes follow the shoreline instead of a broad valley floor. Forested inclines rise close to the water, while farms and homes occupy the limited level ground beside the fjord. Åkrafjorden is also associated with Langfoss, a waterfall descending from the mountains towards the fjord. Akra gives this water-and-mountain setting a distinctly small-scale residential character.
