Rosendal
POP 950
Separated from the rest of Hardangerfjord by high mountains and the Folgefonna National
Park, Rosendal has a picturesque location by the fjord and a backdrop of high hills. Access
to the national park is easier from Odda and Jondal, but Rosendal has a good national-park
centre and is a worthwhile destination in its own right.
Sights & Activities
The tourist office can advise on hiking, climbing, boat rental (per day/week Nkr400/1220
plus petrol) and horse riding, and it has a useful Cycling Trips in Sunnhordland brochure
for longer cycling excursions around the region.
