A scenic fjord that serves as a tranquil sightseeing getaway.
Reaching up to depths that are as long as the heights of adjacent mountains, Lysefjord is a stunning nature haven of ocean blue waters flanked by imposing cliff faces. Starting at the mouth of the fjord in the south, a boat trip will take you through the natural wonder that is Lysefjord. Here, you will be treated to a fair share of idyllic fjord-side farms, tree-covered islands, bleating mountain goats, and even seals. As you cruise down the fjord, you will even stop by a waterfall of fresh mountain water plunging into the fjord, where you can actually take a gulp of the purest water you will never be able to taste again – unless you make another visit of course. You may also get the chance to sail into the Vagabond’s Cave, a small cove pool where a bunch of vagabonds once used to hide from the police. With such interesting sights, regardless of whether you’re taking a private boat or cruise, the quiet grandeur of Lysefjord is most likely best appreciated from within the fjord’s bosom instead of from the overlooking cliffs high above.
