Express boat from Bergen to Rosendal
The Hardangerfjord express links Bergen with Rosendal, the village beneath the Folgefonna glacier, home to the small baroque manor Baroniet Rosendal. The boat crosses the Bjørnafjord and enters the mouth of the Hardangerfjord — a stretch where skerries and glacier country share the same view. Rosendal is compact: quay, village centre and the manor are all within walking distance.
