Ulvik port ideas

[niknot]

I will be on a ship that visits Ulvik in May. The forum did not appear to have too much information on the village so I thought that I would post the information which the Ulvik Tourism office sent me for future reference.

 

"It is so nice that you want to learn more about the activities offered in Ulvik!

 

Here is a list of activities that we normally suggest:

 

• The Olav H. Hauge Centre, this is a museum about a famous poet from Ulvik, and is interesting for those who are into poetry and literature.

 

For more details, contact information and opening hours : https://hardangerfjord.com/en/attractions/the-olav-h-hauge-centre-969913

 

• The fruit and cider route, this is the only fruit and sider route in Norway, the route consist of three apple farms that you can walk or drive between to taste or/and buy their amazing products. The route takes about 1,5 hours.

• Ulvik has a lot of beautiful nature and has shorter and longer hiking trails, depending on how long you are staying.

For a quick bite we recommend:

We also recommend walking around town exploring and looking at the beautiful landscaping, hope this was helpful!

Thank you so much.  We were disappointed at the change at first, but now we think we will walk the cider trail.   What do you think you will do?

When we booked our cruise, the stop was already Ulvik so we can't be disappointed. It should be beautiful though.

 

We will probably just do some hiking/wandering around. If anything happens to be available at the dock, we may see if anything sounds interesting.

 

A person on our roll call has been trying for months to arrange a tour with one of the cider farms, but they are not responding to her emails. Our ship arrives on May 30th, so we arrive before everything opens up.
