Hardanger Vidda.

Early next morning we took an early walk to the lake and visited the Stave Kirke at Roldal then continued our journey northwards.  



 Our first stop were the waterfalls of Espelandsfoss and Latefossen.




Driving along the edge of the Sorfjorden we had incredible views of the Buardalen valley and the Folgefonna glacier.


We turned the corner at Ringoy with a view to our left of Hardangerfjorden. 


Carrying through Eidfjord we started to climb up towards the Hardanger Vidda stopping off at Voringsfossen, a waterfall with a drop of 145 meters. 


The Hardanger Vidda is a mountain plateau over 1000 meters high. The weather unfortunately closed in on us and the majority of the lakes up here were frozen and snow covered. This is a really wild place and because of the conditions we did not see many of the bird species we expected. 







We stayed the night in a picnic spot with two other camper vans, on our way to Leira.
