What to expect
Set out on an enchanting expedition from Bergen to Bondhusvatnet, a stunning glacier lake nestled in Folgefonna National Park, known for its picturesque scenery and gentle hiking trail.
As you journey towards the national park, your first stop is the renowned Steindalsfossen waterfall, and you walk directly behind its cascading waters. Nearby, you'll also have the chance to grab last-minute snacks or souvenirs. Continue from Steindalsfossen to the ferry and ride across the magnificent Hardangerfjord toward Folgefonna National Park. Enjoy breathtaking views of one of Norway's most scenic fjords during the brief journey.
After crossing the fjord, it is time for the last leg of your excursion to Bondhusvatnet Lake, a gem amid Folgefonna National Park. To reach the length, enjoy a leisurely hike along a well-trodden path of soil and small stones, which is even suitable for strollers with outdoor wheels. The route's natural splendor is mesmerizing, with parts of the trail enclosed by vibrant greenery and others opening up to streams of pristine glacial water.
Upon reaching Bondhusvatnet, discover a tranquil haven ideal for unwinding or enjoying a serene picnic amidst nature. The area offers seating at quaint tables and on scattered rocks and boulders. After enjoying Bondhusvatnet, it is time to begin your return trip to Bergen. Hike back to the coast to catch a different ferry that will showcase another angle of Hardangerfjord's beauty. Board your bus and enjoy the charming countryside scenery and quaint villages in Vestland, punctuated with photo stops to capture Norway's pastoral elegance.
