– idyllic scenery and industrial history

The village of Stongfjorden is located on the innermost banks of the 9-km-long fjord of the same name, starting at Stavenesodden point. Stongfjorden became one of the very first industrial sites in the region of Sogn og Fjordane and had the first aluminium factory in North Europe. The factory was open from 1908 to 1945.

Today, this industrial era is evident in the architecture and “urban development”. Stongfjorden has a shop with a café and, at times, an open pub. A beach has been established in the village centre, along with a tennis court, guest harbour and accommodation. The large green building up on the hill houses Galleri Rintler with art exhibitions during the summer and a café on Sundays.

A cultural trail has been created to explain the industrial history of Stongfjorden. Follow the trail to all the different sites involved in the very first aluminium factory. The trail is 1.2 km long and has nine stops. For more information, go to www.kulturvandring.no

We recommend a visit to Staveneset, one of the westernmost points of mainland Norway, which has both dramatic scenery and wartime history. This is a fascinating site in both stormy and calm weather. Stongfjorden village and the Stongfjord peninsula are also great bases for wonderful hikes providing open views of both the mountains and ocean!
