EIDFJORD CRUISE PORT HARDANGERFJORD Fjord, Mountains and Waterfalls Within 30 Minutes from Eidfjord EIDFJORD CRUISE PORT HARDANGERFJORD Fjord, mountains and waterfalls within 30 minutes from Eidfjord DESTINASJON EIDFJORD AS Eidfjord Cruisehavn - Eidfjord Cruiseport / Turistinformasjon - Touristinformation www.visiteidfjord.no all year Eidfjord CRUISE PORT - Hardangerfjord Eidfjord is located in the innermost part of the famous Hardan- gerfjord. In May 2005 Eidfjord Cruise Port opened, and has become a famous port since. The cruise port is located in the centre of Eidfjord and offers the very best and safest condi- tions. In 2005 we were the winner of “the Most Improved Port Facili- ties”, Dream world Cruise Destinations 2005 Awards and we received a new price in 2006 for “the Most Improved Destina- tion”, Dream world Cruise Destinations 2006 Awards. Eidfjord has a population of around 960. We are a thriving community and enjoy the fjord and moun- tains throughout the year. Hardangerfjord is the second longest fjord in Norway, 179 km – also called the Queen of the Fjords. Vøringsfossen waterfall has been Norway’s most visited natural attraction for a long time. The Har- dangervidda plateau and the Hardangerfjord are well-known far beyond Norway’s borders. Due to the mild climate the region is also the orchard of Fjord Norway – here we grow apples, plums, pears and cherries. The blossom season in May/June is unique – the mountain sides are covered in white, pink and red flowers, from the white snow at the top down to the blue fjord. July – October is the harvesting season for fruit, sweet cherry and cider festivals in the small villages along the fjord. Eidfjord offers a unique natural environment. With large contrasts and small distances you can ex- perience the most and best of what Norway has to offer. Our visitors can find peace and quiet in the natural environment, in addition to visiting many of our attractions. Eidfjord is the gateway to the Har- dangervidda, the largest high mountain plateau in Europe and Norway’s largest national park. Welcome to annualy events and festivals in Eidfjord: Winter Festival (Feb/March), Expedition Amund- sen (Feb/March), National Day (May 17th), Hardanger Music Festival (Mai/June), Midsummer Night (June 23rd), Minitriathlon (August), Norseman Xtreme Triathlon (August), Hardangervidda Marathon (September), Food Festival (Sept/Oct). The HARDANGER BRIDGE, which opened in August 2013, has made Eidfjord easier accesible. It is a 2 lane suspension bridge with sidewalks for pedestrians and bikers. The main span is 1310 me- ters and the total lentgh is 1380 m. The airdraft is 55 meters. The bridge is the longest suspension bridge in Norway. 3 CONTENTS TECHNICAL INFORMATION 8 MAP OF EIDFJORD PORT 9 HARBOUR PRICES 10 WASTE HANDLING AT EIDFJORD CRUISE PORT 11 DISTANCE TABLE / MAPS 12 ATTRACTIONS & SUGGESTIONS IN EIDFJORD 15 TOUR SUGGESTIONS IN HARDANGER (own brochure) 5 photo: Agurtxane Concellon PORT OF EIDFJORD FACILITIES AND FACTS photo: Agurtxane Concellon PORT OF Eidfjord - Technical INFORMation Length quay: 120 meters Depth of quay: 10,7 meters Able to handle ships: up to 350 + meters in length Air Draft: 55 meters Water supply: Capacity per tonne, approx 70 m 3 per hour.

Det er laga flaumsoner for 10- og 100-årsflaumen. I tillegg er det gjeve vasshøgder ved 20- 50-, 200- og 500-årsflaumane. Ved ein 10-årsflaum er det særleg områda langs Bjoreio og Veig som vert overfløymt.

  • EIDFJORD CRUISE PORT HARDANGERFJORD Fjord, Mountains and Waterfalls Within 30 Minutes from Eidfjord
    EIDFJORD CRUISE PORT HARDANGERFJORD Fjord, mountains and waterfalls within 30 minutes from Eidfjord DESTINASJON EIDFJORD AS Eidfjord Cruisehavn - Eidfjord Cruiseport / Turistinformasjon - Touristinformation www.visiteidfjord.no MEMBER OF EIDFJORD CRUISE PORT - HARDANGERFJORD Eidfjord is located in the innermost part of the famous Hardangerfjord. The cruise port is located in the centre of Eidfjord and offers the very best and safest conditions. Eidfjord has a population of around 930. We are a thriving community and enjoy the fjord and mountains throughout the year. Hardangerfjord is the second longest fjord in Norway, 179 km – also called the Queen of the Fjords. Vøringsfossen waterfall has been Norway’s most visited natural attraction for a long time. Until 2023 there will be construction on the viewpoints to make this attraction one of three national tourist icons in Norway! The work has already begun and the first new viewpoint by Fossli Hotel is already finished. The construction will never disturb the normal tourist traffic. The Hardangervidda plateau and the Hardangerfjord are well-known far beyond Norway’s borders. Due to the mild climate the region is also the orchard of Fjord Norway – here we grow apples, plums, pears and cherries. The blossom season in May/June is unique – the mountain sides are covered in white, pink and red flowers, from the white snow at the top down to the blue fjord. July – October is the harvesting season for fruit, sweet cherry and cider festivals in the small villages along the fjord. Eidfjord offers a unique natural environment. With large contrasts and small distances you can ex- perience the most and best of what Norway has to offer.
