Kviknes Hotel

Highlight • Monument

The "Kviknes Hotel", a large, white-painted Art Nouveau building, dominates the town centre. It is Norway's oldest hotel and the largest bath-style wooden building in Northern Europe. Kaiser Wilhelm II and other illustrious guests liked to relax here at the beginning of the 20th century. The building is beautifully situated right on the shore of the Sognefjord with a magnificent view south across the water.

View of Sognefjord from Burasi (575 m)

Highlight • Viewpoint

A beautiful view of the huge Sognefjord, the view becomes more and more impressive on the ascent of Balestrand and there are always new perspectives, best to hike further up the Raudmelen 972m, from there the view is perfect, more Norway is not!
