The mountains in Høyanger

The mountains in Høyanger are undeserved less well known than further in the Sognefjord. You  will become small as a person but big on experiences and impressions of nature, in the outer parts of the Sognefjord. 

Here you rarely meet a lot of people. And the goodies are waiting in line. And the freshwater fishing in the mountain lakes are legendary.
