Vik

Built around farms and sheltered shoreland beside the Sognefjord, Vik grew into a fjord municipality centred on Vikøyri, where steep mountains descend towards orchards and water. The Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, defines the scale of the surrounding landscape and its long-settled communities. Vik is particularly notable for Hopperstad Stave Church, dating from around 1130, and the medieval Hove Stone Church. The road across Vikafjellet links the fjord district with Voss, passing from coastal fjord scenery into high mountain terrain.
