Knivsflå

Knivsflå

Knivsflå is one of a handful of farms along the sides of Geirangerfjord in Norway. Actually it was two farms sharing the location. Knivsflå was abandoned in 1898 due to danger of falling rocks.

Knivsflå lies approximately 250m above the fjord. One can reach Knivsflå from Geiranger with help of the sight seeing boat (M/S Geirangerfjord) that will take one to a spot below the farm, the walk up then takes 30-60 minutes.

There is also a mountain pasture situated some 500 meters above the fjord. It is reachable by a hardly visible footpath, starting from Knivsflå.
