You can experience the taste of Sunnhordland at our sustainable-certified guesthouses. They have knowledge about the landscape, history, warm hospitality, and comfortable beds.
If you come by car or bike along the E39 coastal route, you will arrive in Sunnhordland, located between Bergen and Stavanger. If you come over the mountains from the east on the E134, you will end up in Sunnhordland if you turn north on the E39 just before Haugesund. If you cross Hardangervidda (R7), you will almost end up in Sunnhordland. Just continue to Odda and follow the tunnel under Folgefonna to beautiful Rosendal.
There are daily express boat routes from Bergen (Strandkaiterminalen) to several ports in Sunnhordland. The Coastal Bus (Kystbussen) operates multiple trips daily between Bergen and Stavanger.
