Solvorn is a small village on the western shore of the Lustrafjord, with a handful of white wooden houses clustered around a tiny harbour. It feels like a place that time has largely passed by.
The main reason to come here is the ferry to Ornes on the other side, where Urnes Stave Church stands. The ferry is the smallest in Norway, with room for only a few cars and a single entrance. Check the schedule carefully as it runs limited departures.
The village itself has a historic hotel, Walaker Hotell, which claims to be one of the oldest in Norway. There is a small beach and a few places to eat in summer. Outside the tourist season, there is very little open.
