Local made White- and Brown Goat Cheese

You should taste the local made brown and white goat cheese that is made in Undredal. You can taste and buy the rewarded Goat Cheese at Underdalsbui and Undredal Fjord Cafè/Eldhuset down by the pier.
Undredal has a long tradition in the production of goat cheese. The reason for that is of course the landscape. The goats are the best animals to utilize the resources in this steep fjord-landscape. In the old days it was natural for the farmers to use the goat’s milk to make farm products. Undredal had no road connection, and it was easier for them to sell and distribute brown- and white goat cheese rather than fresh milk.
Eldhuset hosts the tradition of goat cheese and farming in Undredal. They offer both taste, serving, exhibitions and program.
Hjødna Viewpoint above Undredal
The Hjødna Viewpoint is only a short hike from the center of Undredal. The hike takes around 30 minutes, and it is a great view towards Undredal and the Aurlandsfjord from the viewpoint.

A Kayak Trip on the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord

We continued to Undredal, a small and beautiful village on the other side of the Aurlandsfjord. From here we paddled out on the Aurlandsfjord in our kayaks. It was clear blue sky, wind still, and a perfect day for kayaking.
Further out the fjord we rounded the foot of Mt Beitelen and paddled into the UNESCO-protected Nærøyfjord, one of two Norwegian fjords that are part of our common World Heritage.
An Adventure Weekend in the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord area
