Samnanger

Samnangerfjorden shapes much of Samnanger – its sheltered shores, steep mountain slopes and abundant water have concentrated settlement and supported hydropower production. This municipality in Vestland lies east of Bergen, where the fjord landscape gives way to upland terrain, forests and mountain roads. Tysse, the municipal centre, stands at the head of the fjord and reflects the area’s long association with industry powered by local rivers. Samnanger Church in Tysse is a familiar local landmark, while Kvamskogen to the south is widely used for cabins and winter recreation.
