This package is a great opportunity for you who are staying in Voss but want to visit Ulvik by the Hardangerfjord and try its famous apple cider.
From Voss, you take the local bus to Ulvik centre. It’s not without reason that Ulvik is named the Pearl of Hardanger. The idyllic village is nestled between a particularly scenic part of the fjord and majestic, tall mountains. In between you find apple orchards as far as the eye can see.
In Ulvik, a cider tasting experience at one of the local farms awaits. You can choose to do the tasting at either 12:00 or 13:00. Before or after the tasting, you can opt to have lunch, visit the museum dedicated to the local poet Olav H. Hauge or just walk around to take in the atmosphere.
