One the large glaciers in Norway, Hardanger's main glacier, between Sørfjorden and main Hardangerfjord. Visible from a long distance because of its elevation above the deep fjords around. On clear days it is visible from Bergen and from the ocean. Arms of the big glacier stretch into the valleys below, for instance at Odda (Buerbreen) and Mauranger (Bondhusbreen in Sunndal). Summer ski resorts on the glacier. Caution: Hiking the glacier is only for experts, do not attempt a hike on your own outside marked trails at the ski resort.
Buerbreen arm of Folgefonna glacier, visible from road 13 at Sandvin lake. Road up valley towards Buer.
The most popular of the waterfalls in the "valley of waterfalls". A 160-metre-high cascade fall. Road 13 crosses the flow on a fine old bridge and mist from the cascade keeps the road wet. Be considerate of the passing traffic.
