Maurangerfjord, one of Norway’s most popular tourist destinations is a fjord formed when a glacier retreats, after carving its typical U-shaped valley, and the sea fills the resulting valley floor. Norway’s breathtaking fjords are a must-see on every visit to the country. They are unquestionably what the country is most famous for and the primary motivator for many travelers to visit. Since many of the Norwegian shores are formed by these long, narrow inlets surrounded by saline water, Norwegian Fjords cruises are fantastic ways to explore magical fjords. The Maurangerfjord is considered to be one of the best-known.
Norway’s Kvinnherad Municipality, in the county of Hordaland, is home to a fjord known as Maurangerfjord or Maurangsfjorden. The fjord, which is only 12 kilometers long, is a short tributary of the larger Hardangerfjorden. The Maurangsfjorden splits into the Nordrepollen and Austrepollen near its inner end. Aenes, Sundal, Austrepollen, Nordrepollen, and Gjetingsdalen are only a few of the settlements that dot the fjord’s shoreline. Austrepollen is the site of the Mauranger Hydroelectric Power Station.
The Hardangerfjord, also known as Hardangerfjorden, is the second-longest fjord in Norway and the fourth-longest in the world. Hordaland County is in the Hardanger area of Norway. From the Atlantic Ocean, the fjord travels inland along the Hardangervidda plateau for a distance of 179 kilometers. Maurangerfjord is acctualy small branch of Hardangerfjord.
Cruising along the Maurangerfjord, you will past the pretty Furebergfossen Waterfall for wonderful views and great photo opportunities. Between Aenes and Sundal, the Furebergfossen Waterfalls are the largest and most impressive waterfalls in the region. The Norwegian community of Aenes is located in the Kvinnherad municipality of the county of Hordaland. The town sits at the mouth of the Maurangsfjorden, on the southeast coast of Hardangerfjorden. The town is home to the Aenes Church. At this spot, a church has stood since the Middle Ages.
Sundal is the main settlement in the Mauranger district of Kvinnherad municipality in the county of Hordaland, Norway. South of Nordrepollen and Gjetingsdalen, on the shore of Maurangsfjorden, is where you’ll find the village of Maurang. East of Sunndal is where you’ll find the hamlet of Austrepollen. It is located in a deep valley surrounded by high mountains on three sides. At the southernmost tip of the valley, you’ll find the Bondhusbreen glacier.
Cruises to the Norwegian Fjords, with Maurangerfjord as a selling point, are most popular in the summer when the weather is pleasant and there are more options for outdoor activities. In the fall, Maurangerfjord is a great place to visit because the leaves are bright and beautiful.
