What to do and see in Hordaland, Western Norway: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
Lying at the heart of Norway’s Western Fjord area, Hordaland is home to culturally rich Bergen, the country’s second largest city. Hardangerfjord, Norway’s second-longest fjord (and the third-longest in the world), is here too, and cruising along its scenic 110 miles is a top area activity. Leirvik, the second-biggest town in Hordaland, has the interesting open-air Sunnhordland Folk Museum. Set atop one of the country’s biggest glaciers, Folgefonna National Park has a popular summer ski center.

From Bergen, we took a train to visit. It was a short hike to the church. It was a very interesting church. The wood construction was both simple and complex. It is very interesting to those interested in churches or architecture. They had a person who could provide a lot of information about the church and its history. Children would be bored though.

Worth the walk up from the port to see this old church and the cemetery. They only allow you to look inside as the floor is not safe, but to me it is worth seeing the historical site. And it is also on the "blue" path. There are posts with blue on them that allow you to make about a mile walk around the upper city in the countryside.
5. Gjerde Church
Gjerde Church erected in 1676. Features include distinctive wall decorations. Rune stone adjacent to the church.
