It's "Vossevangen", not Vossegangen. It even says so on the picture.

Who would believe that this town is actually the origin of Voss water :P ?

Actually, the Voss water doesn't come from Voss - it comes from an even smaller place called Vatnestraum, not far from Kristiansand in the south of Norway. Until recently, the inhabitants of Vatnestraum had exactly the same water to use in their showers and toilets. I guess they chose the name "Voss" because "Vatnestraum" might not be a perfect international brand name.

Voss is not along the Hardanger fjord. It is situated on the shore of the lake called Vangsvatnet.

@ LOC: Is there a typo in the title? (see comment #1)

Norwegian modern spelling "Oppheimsvannet" or "Oppheimsvatnet". On Google Maps spelt "Uppeimsvatnet". This is a lake in the mountains on the way from Voss over to Sogn, and it's not really close to the Hardangerfjord.

Belongs to Voss kommune (municipality), and is as vyxir says closer to Sognefjorden (The Sognefjord) and its arm Nærøyfjorden (The Naeroey fjord).

vyxir and arnybo, thank you for this information! We will correct the source data and reload the description.

The road winding upwards must be Stalheimskleiva, once famous for being a rather hazardous drive.

This is not a part of Hardangerfjord. The road between Voss and Stalheim continues down the Naeroydalen valley and ends in Gudvangen. This is where Naeroyfjord starts (UNESCO World Heritage). Naeroyfjord is a branch of the longest fjord in Norway, Sognefjord (204 km long). Check out www.naeroyfjord.com

Thanks! We'll fix the title in the source data and reload description.
