It’s a peaceful journey along protected waterways, past waterfalls and a quiet fjord arm. Children and adults alike can experience trout fishing at its best, and wander along beautiful trails, past waterfalls and rapids. You can also hire boats and canoes, and there’s lots of good activities available for those who like to hike in the mountains. The path runs along one arm of the world’s longest fjord, Sognefjorden, before if snakes up the steep valley sides towards the mountain. The path then follows the protected Gaularvassdrag watercourse, which is famous for its many waterfalls, also has many rapids and calm mountain lakes. Along parts of the watercourse, a waterfall path has been built to make the most breathtaking parts more accessible. The stretch The Gaularfjellet National Scenic Route, between Balestrand - Eldalsosen Moskog an Eldalsosen and Sande is 130km long. (Norwegian national road 55/13/610). The stretch between Mel and Mjell on Gaularfjellet is closed in winter.
