Ulvik Fjord, Westerland County, Norway

Ulvik Fjord is about 8 kilometers long and 900 meters wide. It is the northern branch of Ulvik Fjord, which in turn is the northern branch of Hardangerfjord. Both Ulvik and Ulvik Fjord belong to the municipality of Ulvik in Westerland County. On April 25, 1940, the entire area was occupied by German invading forces, who destroyed 56 houses in Ulvik in retaliation for Norwegian resistance. As this is not along the main road through Norway, there were few tourists, but the places that made me stop and take pictures were, at least, places that I thought were very beautiful. Norway, which ranks first in the world in my mind for natural scenery, is not entirely attracted by famous attractions such as the Lofoten Islands, the World Natural Heritage Geiranger and the Nærøyfjord, but by countless less well-known places like Ulvik. Also because of its lack of popularity, I didn’t set aside enough time to explore the area, but I firmly believe that the surrounding area is actually more beautiful than what I photographed. #OverseasTravel #NorwayTravel #NorwayTourism #NorwayScenery #NorwayFjords #NaturalScenery #Mountains and Waters in One #norway #ulvikfjord
