Leikanger - Fjord Norway

This town and municipality is the 4th largest producer of food in Norway. There are around 80.000 apple trees, pear trees, and plum trees in the hills above Leikanger. This is also a paradise for bees and honey, and in the local store, you are able to buy some of the best honey in Norway.

In later years Leikanger has seen an increase in Raspberry production and during autumn, if your timing is right, you are able to buy freshly picked raspberries by the road.

The closest community center, Sogndal, is just a 20 min drive from Leikanger.
