The Folgefonn centre opens in May 2017. Here you will find an exciting exhibition on the nature around Folgefonna glacier, the Hardangerfjord and how climate changes affect us here. Situated on the southern shore of the beautiful Hardangerfjord in Hordaland County, Folgefonna National Park boasts one of Norway's largest glaciers. In words and stunning images, our website tells you about the glacier and how ice sculpted the fjords and surrounding landscape. We'll show you great cultural attractions and scenic highlights, point out hiking trails that take you there, give details about guided glacier treks, kayaking beneath ice falls, and much more.

Great for the history of boatbuilding locally and environmental introduction to the surrounding area...

We have long traditions in shipbuilding in Kvinnherad. Round the year 1900 there were no less than 325 places registered in our municipality where boats were built. Among the many boats that are built here, we find the Gjoa. This vessel was built in Rosendal in connection with Roald Amundsen`s plans to sail through the North-Western Passage (1903 - 06). Skaaluren Skipsbyggeri in Rosendal is the yard in Norway that has the longest tradition within shipbuilding. The yard started its history in 1855. It kept and maintained tools and models used during the boat-building. These are now displayed at the Skaaluren collection, which is to be found in the Folgefonn centre.
