Norsk Natursenter Hardanger — Attraction in Eidfjord

In the evening we stayed in the town of Øvre Eidfjord in the camp Myklatun Camping, where we rented a cottage for a very reasonable price. We were all alone and so we enjoyed a beautiful fire in the evening right on the shore of Lake Eidfjordvatnet. It was a very...
