Kinsarvik (Wikipedia)

Kinsarvik is a village, and former municipality, in the county of Hordaland, Norway

The village is today the administrative center of Ullensvang - and it is located at the mouth of the Sørfjorden and the Eidfjorden where it branches from the Hardangerfjord.

Kinsarvik makes a good base camp for visiting the surrounding areas.

The shores of the fjords in this area are thick with fruit trees, primarily cherry and apple trees. There are spikes in tourism for the flowering and harvest of these trees.

The history of Kinsarvik tourism has been one of dramatic changes. Up until the 1970's the village was the busiest ferry port in Norway and a crucial junction on the only all-year road connecting Bergen and Oslo. Alternative routes then eroded its importance, but in 2006 the Norwegian Parliament approved Hardangerbrua, a monumental bridge project only 12km from Kinsarvik. When completed, it will reestablish inner Hardanger as a dominant route and tourist stop for both east-west and north-south traffic.
