Hardangervidda vest (Ullensvang)

The western side of Hardangervidda, in Ullensvang, with a joint licence for private lakes and watercourses from ten landowner associations. The Stavali tourist cabin sits inside the area, reached up Husedalen from Kinsarvik, the Munketrappene steps from Lofthus or Hjølmodalen from Øvre Eidfjord. Clear, cold water, so discreet and natural lures.
