Eid Fjord

Eid Fjord is a branch of the Nordfjord, located in Vestland county, Norway. It stretches approximately 18 kilometers inland from the main Nordfjord. The villages of Stårheim and Haus are situated along its shores.

Historically, the Eid Fjord area has been important for agriculture and fishing. The surrounding mountains provide a dramatic backdrop, and the fjord itself is used for transportation and recreation. The fjord is known for its relatively calm waters compared to the open ocean, making it suitable for various water activities.

The name "Eid" likely refers to a narrow passage or isthmus, possibly relating to a geographical feature near the fjord's entrance or a historical connection to land routes. The area is part of the larger Stadlandet peninsula, known for its exposed coastline and challenging weather conditions further to the west.
