Kvam herad

The terrain of Kvam herad ranges from the sheltered shores of the Hardangerfjord along its western edge to wooded mountains and open uplands inland, creating a municipality of sharp contrasts. Norheimsund, the administrative centre, sits beside the fjord and is a practical base for exploring the district. Nearby Steinsdalsfossen is known for the path that passes behind its falling water. Kvam belongs to Hardanger, a region long associated with fruit growing; orchards remain part of the settled fjord slopes. Roads follow the water and climb toward quieter valleys, where farms, woodland and mountain terrain take over from the waterfront.
