From Odda to Hovden
Attractions from here to Kristiansand are listed roughly from north to south.
Odda —At the end of the Hardanger Fjord, just past the huge zinc and copper
industrial plant, you'll hit the industrial town of Odda (well-stocked TI for
whole region and beyond; in summer Mon-Fri 9:00-19:00, Sat-Sun
11:00-17:00;off-seasonMon-Fri9:00-15:00,closedSat-Sun;onmarketsquare
at Torget 2-4, tel. [phone], www.visitodda.com ) . Odda brags that Kaiser
Wilhelm came here a lot, but he's dead and I'd drive right through. If you want
to visit the tongue of a glacier, drive to Buar and hike an hour to Buarbreen.
From Odda, drive into the land of boulders. The many mighty waterfalls that
line the road seem to have hurled huge rocks (with rooted trees) into the rivers
and fields. Stop at the giant double waterfall (on the left, pullout on the right,
drive slowly through it if you need a car wash).
