Vestland

Among the regions of Norway, Vestland stands out for fjords that cut deep into a coast backed by high mountains. Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, reaches far inland, while Hardangerfjord is closely associated with orchards and spring blossom. The county extends from wave-battered islands and sheltered coastal communities to valleys, waterfalls and upland terrain. Bergen, Vestland’s largest city, developed as a Hanseatic trading centre; its wooden Bryggen wharf is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Maritime life, mountain routes and farming communities meet here.
