The day trip Bergen locals send visitors on. Drive out to Norheimsund on the Hardangerfjord, walk behind Steinsdalsfossen and follow the fjord past fruit farms and cider houses, with the option to push on to the Hardanger Bridge or Øystese before looping home. Gentle driving, huge scenery, ideal if you only have one day for the fjords.
