- Time Zone: (GMT )
Tangled up in the fjords of western Norway, Stord Island stands at the threshold of the North Sea. Slow down in cultural capital Leirvik, home to bakeries and boathouse restaurants and the industrial frame of Storddøra Monument. Stories of rural Norwegian life are told in the traditional huts of Sunnhordland Museum, while the heather-covered hillsides are speckled with wooden cabins and cottages. Summit Stordfjellet peak to glimpse fjords, shipyards and the far-away islands of Fitjar archipelago; a magnet for birdwatchers, fishermen and kayakers.
