NORDFJORD  , an inlet of the

west coast of Norway, penetrating the land for 5o m, in an easterly direction, its mouth being 115 m. by sea N. of Bergen (61° 50' N.) . No part of Norway affords finer scenery than the inner ramifications of this fjord among the snowy mountains of the northern Jostedalsbrae . Driving-roads penetrate the mountains from Visnaes eastward to the Gudbrandsdal, from Utvik southward to Vadheim on the Sogne Fjord, and from Faleide northward to Hellesylt (Geiranger Fjord) and dje (Jorundsfjord) . Nordfjordeid is a large village on the outer fjord, at the mouth of Hornindalen . Olden and Loen are other favourite centres on the inner part of the fjord . A small but powerful breed of horses is peculiar to the Nordfjord district .
