The city
Odda is the industrial town at the end of the Sørfjord, an arm of the Hardangerfjord, surrounded by mountains and the Folgefonna glacier. It is the base for the Trolltunga hike, the Buarbreen glacier, the Låtefossen waterfall and the Tyssedal hydroelectric museum, and is about half an hour from the orchards of Lofthus.

The local experience
The Troll's Tongue: a slab of rock that juts out horizontally over the void, about 700 meters above Lake Ringedalsvatnet, at the end of a mountain trail of 20 to 27 km round trip from Odda.
An arm of the Folgefonna glacier that descends into a valley 8 km from Odda, reached by a short steep trail from the Buer farm, with views of blue ice and waterfalls.
Double waterfall of about 165 metres that falls next to road 13, 17 km south of Odda, and flows under a six-arched stone bridge.
The hydroelectric and industry museum in Tyssedal, at the Tysso I plant from the early 20th century: turbines, generators and machine halls in a monumental building on the shore of the Sørfjord.
The orchard village in the middle of the Sørfjord, between Odda and Kinsarvik: apple and cherry trees on the slopes, Hardanger cider, the medieval church of Ullensvang and the cabin where Grieg composed.
